Development of mechanical engineering (design, technology and production management)

Every year CEEPUS is awarding a network of outstanding quality, awarded by the Joint Committee of Ministers. Through an external panel of experts, using various evaluation criteria, CEEPUS determines the best of many great networks. 2025 experts selected the network : "Development of mechanical engineering (design, technology and production management) as an essential base for progress in the area of small and medium companies’ logistics - research, preparation and implementation of joint programs of study in the aspect of Industry 4.0.” This network is coordinated by Prof. Stanislaw Legutko, Poznan University of Technology, Institute of Mechanical Technology, who does his excellent job together with his 32 partners. Small and medium industrial companies (SMC), according to the opinion of many experts, are the base of developing countries’ economies. It concerns especially the economy of Central Europe countries, which formerly had nonmarket economy. Development of the mentioned industrial enterprises nowadays depends on the proper level of mechanical engineering (design, manufacturing engineering and production management) and on proper logistics. Therefore, the aim of the network with 32 partners is to utilize experiences and knowledge of partner institutions and information exchange between the partners. The investigations carried out in the framework of the network will concern the design of machines, their technology, production management and industrial logistics, also in the aspect of Industry 4.0 including some special domains.

Kire Stavrov from Ss. Cyril und Methodius University in Skopje (NMK), Faculty of Architecture:

“During my research fellowship at the Danube University Krems (host university)in Austria, I had an opportunity to collaborate in direct mentorship by Christian Hanus, scientific director of the research laboratory for sustainable cultural heritage. His mentorship assisted me in reaching a significant milestone in the preparation of the doctoral thesis- which was a core activity during my fellowship. My participation in this program is relevant for expanding the research collaboration between the home and the host university.”

What our scholars have to say
Prof. Jelka Gersak
Professor and network coordinator, Maribor
It is important to point out that the activities that have taken place in the framework of student mobility, especially of PhD students, do not end with the end of the mobility, but remain as an important link, in the framework of joint scientific articles and publications in co-authorship.
Milica Stankovic, PhD
Professor from Nis, Serbia
During my stay in Ljubljana, I had the opportunity to give lectures in the area of Circular Economy and global challenges. The multidisciplinarity of the topic contributed to a great result and an excellent discussion with students from study fields of biology, biotechnology, environmental protection and food technology on the topic of the circular economy. I am sure that this CEEPUS teaching mobility is the first step towards a future successful cooperation.
Georgi Mladenov
Working on his master thesis in Sorpon (HU)
“My CEEPUS exchange exceeded my expectations. I managed to progress a lot with my thesis and to acquire new skills in the field of mathematics. I made great contacts both with lectures and students. I hope to welcome my colleagues from the University of Sopron in Ruse (BG) next semester.”
