The presentation outlines the problem of contradictory expectations against professional education of the multinational giants and SME-s. The need for “engineers” more or less in the “classical” understanding of the word is evident and pressing in SME-s. The up-to-date data processing and networking has also a -side effect- in loosing important part of basic knowledge. On the other hand research and development in universities are oriented towards areas covered by the modern, sophisticated instrumentation and less on solving specific problems appeared in different industrial applications. This way important energy, time and money are wasted or at least inefficiently spent. Is this a characteristic of our era or it is just a “side effect” of the extremely fast scientific-technical development. Efforts at the Sapientia Tg.Mures with the support of local companies aiming a more industry oriented education are outlined. Experiments involving the Plasmaterm SA is aiming both research and development as well as current production activities are evaluated. A specific concept of dual education is presented, with active participation of students as part-time employees of the company during their last year of studies is briefly evaluated.

As the largest educational institution in technical area, the Technical University of Sofia has good experience in university and business cooperation both on national and international levels. TU-Sofia has the potential of an active cooperation with business: it has 13 faculties and 6 research laboratories at which more than 1200 professionals (professors, lecturers, and research staff) work in fields more or less related to business activities and needs. In the paper proposed, some of the collaborative international and national projects of our university will be presented. These projects include: proposals submitted to Horizon 2020 and experience in FP7; works done within the structural fund on the regional and international levels, Erasmus+ projects and experience within TEMPUS projects. Also, the paper discusses Bulgarian national higher education rating system which encourages relation and collaboration between business organizations and educational institutions. Further, the paper proposes new initiatives for university and business cooperation in Central Europe.
Anton Habjanič: IP policy model at the University of MariborCUBCCE Conference
As the global knowledge economy grows each year, the importance of intellectual property (IP) policy also grows for non-profit organizations such as universities. Pretty much every organization has an IP portfolio of some kind and value, whether or not the organization realizes it as such. As a result, almost every organization needs an IP policy model, even if it’s a simple one.
This presentation is intended to help the universities and other research organizations to set IP policy model to optimise the benefits from the intellectual assets created by their staff and students. The presented model, which was adopted at the University of Maribor, does not provide an IP policy that can be applied across all organizations as there is no “one size fits all” approach to IP management. But, it identifies the key features that need to be considered in order to build a strategic framework for the managing of IP, as for example the issues of ownership, protection and sharing of the economic benefits arising from the commercial exploitation of IP created by researchers in the course of their duties or activities at the university.
Technology Transfer with China: a University PerspectiveKevin De Moortel
Formal modes of technology transfer, e.g. contract research, patenting, licensing and spin-offs, are well established domestically, both in Belgium and China. When we add an international dimension to technology transfer, we see that technology transfer is present between industries. However, when we look at universities, we observe that an international technology transfer dimension is missing. This presentation sets the ground for EU-China university technology transfer.
Ivan Nenad Mihajlović: Entrepreneurial University – synergy of entrepreneuria...CUBCCE Conference
Industrial as well as Small, Medium and Micro Enterprise development, based on Innovations and Technology is one of the most effective ways of helping the increase of manufacturing effectiveness in all parts of the World.
Accordingly, Innovations and Technology Development are the most appropriate way to promote and stimulate innovation activity in both scientific community and the industrial sector. This way the partnerships between the academia, research community and the industrial facilities in both public and private sector should be a back bone of further development of each society.
Based on those facts, part of the research activities of any academic institution should also be dedicated to increase entrepreneurial potential of the university students and development of the innovative approaches which will lead to larger correlation between large industry, SMEs and universities. This leads to high necessity of promoting the entrepreneurial university concept, as the only potential way to motivate old European academic institutions to change in the direction of commercialization of their research work.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
