PEERS
PEERS (Partners in Energy & Environment Engineering Education and Research for Sustainable Development), funded by Directorate of higher education and competence (HKDir) under UTFORSK 2020 is a transformative collaboration that unites leading minds from Norway, India, and Japan to reshape the landscape of engineering education. This project is set to empower students, enhance research, and make a significant societal impact.
🔹 What is PEERS All About?
The PEERS project is a visionary effort to develop interdisciplinary engineering courses tailored for master's and doctoral students. It also offers intensive short courses for continuous professional development in the industry and free online courses (MOOCs) for lifelong learners. This initiative is designed to make education accessible and relevant to a global audience.
🔹 Why is PEERS Crucial?
Cutting-Edge Curriculum: Dive deep into innovative topics such as waste management, circular economy, GIS, and remote sensing applications. These areas are pivotal in addressing and implementing the United Nations' sustainability goals, ensuring that our education aligns with global priorities.
Global Collaboration and Exchange: Experience the richness of diverse work cultures through two-way mobility of students and staff. Engage in seminars, workshops, and guest lectures that provide international perspectives and foster a collaborative learning environment.
Industry-Relevant Skills and Knowledge Transfer: Our courses are designed with input from non-academic partners, ensuring that the skills and knowledge imparted are directly applicable to industry needs. This collaboration enhances student employability and facilitates effective knowledge transfer.
Research and Innovation Opportunities: Participate in joint research activities that lead to scholarly publications and real-world impact. The project encourages students to engage in research-driven learning, preparing them for future academic and professional careers.
