Nový projekt ISEKI_Food-4 ako 4. pokračovanie úspešného cyklu projektov ISEKI_Food Projekt ISEKI_Food-4 (číslo projektu LLP IT-ERASMUS-ENW, akronym IFOOD4) oficiálne odštartoval 1. októbra koordinovaný Paolou Pittia z Poľnohospodárskej fakulty Univerzity Teramo (Taliansko). Tento projekt, rovnako ako predošlé, je dotovaný agentúrou Executive Agency, Education, Culture, Audiovisual v rámci Programu celoživotného vzdelávania (Lifelong Learning Programme, Erasmus Thematic Networks - action C). Názov projektu je Inovácia potravinového reťazca prostredníctvom modernizácie štúdia potravinárstva ( Towards the innovation of the food chain through the modernisation of Food studies ). Na projekte spolupracuje 86 partnerov z 27 krajín EÚ a 3 partneri z mimo-eú štátov (Brazília, USA a Izrael) plus 31 associovaných partnerov z 15 EÚ a mimo- EÚ krajín.

2 Hlavným cieľom projektu je vypracovanie metodiky pre súbor pracovníkov schopných realizovať inovácie potrebné pre zariadenia v rámci výučby a praktických školení potravinárstva, podporujúcich pokrok v akademickom sektore a internacionalizáciu štúdia potravinárskych vied v EÚ prostredníctvom: - Modernizácie a rozvoja výučby, tréningu a učebných osnov; - Implementácie úlohy pracovného trhu na treťom stupni vzdelávania, podpory zamestnanosti a presadzovania absolventov v oblasti bezpečnosti potravín a potravinárskych odborníkov; - Zlepšovanie kvalifikácie pedagógov v oblasti potravinárskych vied a technológie. V rámci trojročných projektových aktivít sú plánované výstupy zamerané najmä na: návrh virtuálneho prostredia (Virtual Network Environment) a vypracovanie metodiky pre použitie materiálov a prostriedkov umožňujúcich zavádzanie modernizovaných študijných programov potravín a podporovať ich internacionalizáciu; navrhnúť kvalifikačný rámec pre pedagogické zbory v oblasti vyššieho vzdelávania a virtuálnu platformu pre doktorandov, aby sa podporili výučbové možnosti za využitia transferu znalostí a praktických technologických schopností; inovatívne výučbové materiály (knihy; e-learning školenia; pilotné Virtuálne laboratória ; databáza výskumných projektov a ich sietí. Vydávanie novovytvoreného ISEKI_Food e-časopisu ( Tretia ISEKI_Food konferencia (2014), webinár (e-semináre), pilotné testy učiteľov v rámci letnej školy (Summer School for teachers), a material o etickej a sociálnej úlohe štúdia potravín ako aj potravinárskych odborníkov sú tiež súčasťou aktivít projektu. Plánovanie projektu a pracovné skupín Aktivity projektu IFOOD4 sú rozdelené do 8 pracovných skupín, z ktorých 4 sú orientované na implementáciu projektorého plánu (WP3, WP4, WP5 a WP6); ostatné WP podporujú prácu uvedených, pričom majú na starosti využitie implementovaných aktivít (WP6), disemináciu (distribúciu) výsledkov aktivít (WP2), plány kvality (WP1) a manažment projektu (WP8). V tabuľke 1 je zoznam pracovných skupín a členovia manažmentu projektu (Core Group members). ISEKI_Food4 Ako bude project pracovať Všetci partneri vedia, že rozpočet projektov Erasmus Thematic Network môže podporovať len obmedzené počty aktivít a mítingov partnerov. Vysoký počet partnerov a stanovený rozpočet dovoľuje v rámci IFOOD4 - (1) vyvinúť sériu elektronických webových nástrojov, ktoré budú umiestnené na projektovej webovej stránke alebo na webe Asociácie ISEKI_Food, pričom budú dostupné pre všetkých partnerov; (2) organizovať sériu mítingov, na ktorých partneri budú diskutovať a riešiť activity potrebné pre splnenie cieľov projektu. 2 P a g e

3 Partneri a asociavaní partneri budú prizvaní koordinátorom projektu a/alebo koordinátormi WP na spoluprácu pri riešení špecifických aktivít; pomocou interaktívnej webovej stránky sa umožní komunikácia medzi partnermi aj s projektovým koordinátorom a zároveň sa takto realizuje aj diseminácia projektových výstupov. Asociovaní partneri budú prizvaní, aby prispeli k všetkým projektovým aktivitám vrátane projektových mítingov, avšak bez finančnej podpory z rozpočtu projektu IFOOD4. Zaangažovanosť všetkých partnerov je životne dôležitá pre splnenie našich cieľov a dosiahnutie náročných výsledkov projektu IFOOD4. Veríme, že aktivity vďaka usilovnosti kolegov, inštitucionálnych partnerov a ďalších účastníkov riešenia (študentov, priemyselných asociácií atď.) vyústia do splnenia plánovaných cieľov. - 1 st Core group meeting: January 2012, University of Teramo (Mosciano Sant Angelo, Teramo, IT), local organiser: Paola Pittia - 1 st General meeting: 9-11 May 2012, Universidade Católica Portuguesa, Escola Superior de Biotecnologia (Porto, PT), local organiser: Cristina L.

V rámci týchto projektov pokračovalo posilňovanie a konsolidácia Asociácie ISEKI_Food - (IFA) čím sa zabezpečuje kontinuita v prenose znalostí a údajov pomocou ISEKI_Food siete, čím prispievame ku globálnej podpore skvalitňovania univerzitného vzdelávania v oblasti potravinárskych vied aj príslušnej praxe. ISEKI_Food 3 & ISEKI_Munuds 2 Záverečná dvojdňová konferencia (2. medzinárodná konferencia ISEKI_Food) umožnila prezentáciu a disemináciu finálnych výstupov a záverov projektov ISEKI_Mundus 2 a ISEKI_Food 3. Všetky prednášky a výstupy sú dostupné na: V súčasnosti je sieť ISEKI_Food (ISEKI_Food Network) jednou z najúspešnejších informačných sietí v rámci Európskej únie a umožňuje v danej oblasti rozsiahlu a významnú komunikáciu so zvyškom sveta. 5 P a g e

6 Účasť IFA v projektoch podporovaných EÚ TRACK_FAST bol FP7 KBBE projekt ( v rokoch Identifikácia požiadaviek v rámci prípravy a kariéry budúcich európskych potravinárskych vedcov a technológov (FST Food Scientists and Technologists) a implementácie európskej stratégie výchovy budúcej generácie FST lídrov. ISEKI-Food Association (IFA) bola zastúpená v poradnom výbore. EXAIRDEC bol FP7 R4SME projekt ( v rokoch , ktorý mal za cieľ vývoj prototypu innovatívneho čistenia kontaminovaného vzduchu pre potravinársky priemysel na princípe pulzného elektrického výboja. IFA bola zodpovedná za disemináciu a využitie v praxi. DEFRUS je Tempus projekt, podprogram Štruktúrnych opatrení podporujúcich vývoj a kvalifikáciu (QF - Quality Framework) v oblasti potravinárskych vied na ruských univerzitách v rokoch IFA je vedúci partner WP7 pre disemináciu a je angažovaný pri analýze existujúch štandardov a metodológií QF development v oblasti potravinárskych vied, ako aj vo vývoji a auto-certifikácie QF pre Ruskú Federáciu resp. preškoľovanie ruských pracovníkov v danej oblasti. Na báze Špeciálnej záujmovej skupiny pre štruktúru potravín a fyzikálne vlastnosti (Special Interest Group on Food Structure and Physical Properties) ( vznikol projekt COST ACTION FA1001 (Application of innovative fundamental food-structure-property relationships to the design of foods for health, wellness and pleasure, riešený v období , v ktorom je zaangažovaných viacero členov IFA (ISEKI-Food Association). ISEKI-Food 4 Príklady využitia elektronickej vzdelávacej platformy (ISEKI-e-learning platform) V rámci projektov ISEKI_Food a ISEKI_Mundus bola vyvinutá platforma pre e- vzdelávanie ( s viacerými e-learning kurzami pre študentov, doktorandov aj pracovníkov potravinárskeho priemyslu. Každý kurz je k dispozícii bezplatne pre členov IFA (), pre nečlenov je poplatok 50 za polročné využívanie konkrétneho kurzu. Členovia IFA môžu využívať uvedené 6 P a g e

7 kurzy ako učitelia v rámci interaktívnej formy výučby a vytvárať vlastné kurzy na tejto báze. Gerhard Schleining využil túto možnosť veľmi efektívne, keď vyučoval predmet Počítačové aplikácie v spracovaní potravín a kontrola kvality (Computer Applications in Food Processing and Quality Assurance) počas pobytu na Kasetsart University v Bangkoku. Potreboval len jeden týždeň na prípravu a inováciu existujúcich powerpointových obrázkov a ďalšieho elektronického materiálu pre účastníkov kurzu. Interaktivitu dosiahol vypracovaním úloh pre jednotlivých účastníkov resp. Skupiny študentov a následné diskusné fóra, na ktorých sa účastníci mali klásť prískušné otázky relevantné k téme a v rámci kolektívu byť schopní aj odpovedať. Takéto fórum malo aj pokračovanie účastníci mohli sa pýtať aj po kurze na veci, o ktorých nebola reč, a tým si zvyšovať svoj obzor. Každá individuálna úloha a prípsevok sa môže hodnotiť a systém automaticky vypočíta výsledky pre všetkých účastníkov, čo možno použiť pri záverečnom známkovaní. Je tu aj možnosť realizácie záverečnej skúšky online. Systém je veľmi ľahko aplikovateľný počas 10 minút účastníci pochopia princíp a mechanizmus. Gerhard Schleining vidí výhody aj v tom, že vytvorený kurz(prednáška) sa môže ďalej využívať a modifikovať relatívne jednoducho ďalšími pedagógmi. S ďalšími otázkami sa treba obrátiť na Gerharda Schleininga (gerhard.schleining@boku.ac.at) 7 P a g e

11 Konferencia v OMANE IFA was invited to take part at the 2nd Oman Food Safety Conference from 10/10/ to 11/10/2011 in Muscat, Sultanate of OMAN. It was for the first time that IFA was represented at an event in the Middle East Region. The OMAN is located at the Eastern part of the Arabian Peninsula, with the capital Muscat. The sultanate has approx. 2.8 Mill. inhabitants, mainly living in the cities, more than 25 % of the population are foreign workers. 75 % of the population has Islamic religion. The Sultanate is absolute monarchy but has at the same time a constitution. Since 41 years the country is guided by Sultan Qabus. The conference was organized by OITE (a conference organizer) and was supported by Ministry of Commerce & Industry and the Ministry of Regional Municipalities &Water Resources. The conference took place in one of the most exciting hotel and conference venue in the region, the Al Bustan Palace Hotel, in a suburb of Muscat. More than 250 participants were invited to take part in the conference, mainly from Oman, Saudi Arabia, UAE (United Arab Emirate) and only a few participants from other parts of the world (USA, UK, Australia and Austria). IFA had the privilege to be involved in the Opening Session with a plenary paper. Helmut GLATTES presented a paper with the title: ISEKI-Food Association (IFA) its Aims and Initiatives with special emphasis to the Middle East, The paper was prepared with support of Cristina Silva and Gerhard Schleining. We have included into the paper examples of possible common activities for the Middle East, like - create content for e-learning courses, books, specific to needs of the region - translate existing IFA-materials (books, courses) into Arabic language and distribute it - organise IFA-workshops for the local industry, PhD-Seminars etc. - increase quality of Food Study Programmes (tuning, accreditation by EQAS) There was a great interest in the IFA-presentation and the majority of the participants have heard for the first time about ISEKI in general and in particular about IFA. It was also possible to distribute IFA-materials and to discuss with the participants many IFA-related subjects. Especially contacts were established to colleagues from USA, Australia and UAE. 11 P a g e

12 The event was excellently organized, the hospitality was great and the open minded people from the OMAN contributed to the good atmosphere and success of the conference. 12 P a g e

13 The meets the Kyiv National University Last November the Kyiv National University, partner of the just ended- ISEKI_Mundus 2 project, invited the to meet teachers, researchers and students of its institution and to present its main aims and activities. Kyiv National University is an institution of higher education that trains specialists and carries out researches in many fields of knowledge. Prof. Saverio Mannino, University of Milan and IFA Board member was able to attend the meeting held in Kyiv (Ukraine) on 18 th November 2011 and organized by Helen Klymova, Head of International Research Projects Sector of International Integration Projects and Academic Mobility Department. The presentation of the IFA activities took place in the Great Hall of the University at the presence of the delegates of the Departments of the scientific area. A second meeting was organized with a selected representative of students. In this case after a brief presentation by Helen Klymova, aspects of the educational system in Europe were discussed. Potential future collaboration and cooperation between IFA and the Kyiv National University in research and educational projects were discussed and foreseen. 13 P a g e

14 IFA je zakladajúci člen EASPA (European Alliance for Subject Specific and Professional Accreditation) 29. novembra 2012 v Düsseldorfe založilo 8 organizácií (spolu s IFA) združenie so zameraním na kontrolu kvality vyššieho vzdelávania (European Alliance for Subject Specific and Professional Accreditation and Quality Assurance, EASPA). Táto organizácia vznikla ako platforma pre spoluprácu medzi združeniami európskych a medzinárodných sietí a organizácií angažovaných v oblasti podpory a zabezpečovania kvality vyššieho vzdelávania. EASPA predstavuje forum pripravené na spoluprácu pri zabezpečovaní kvality študijných programov, škôl a jednotlivých profesionálov v danom odbore. Ďalší zakladajúci členovia EASPA: European Network for the Accreditation of Engineering Education (ENAEE), European Quality Assurance Network for Informatics Education (EQANIE), Association Européenne des Conservatoires, Academies de Musique et Musikhochschulen (AEC), European Chemistry Thematics Network Association (ECTNA), European Network for Public Administration Accreditation (EAPAA), European Countries Biologists Association (ECBA) and European Physical Society (PS). 14 P a g e

15 George Kalantzopoulos Je nesmierne ťažké akceptovať, že George je preč, pretože bol kolegom s veľkými ašpiráciami a mimoriadnou chuťou do života a jeho vylepšovania. Hoci George Kalantzopoulos sa nezúčastnil na poslednom mítingu ISEKI_Food, bol veľmi dôležitým a aktívnam účastníkom našich aktivít po mnoho rokov. Mal dar jasnej mysle a často poukázal na kľúčové problémy, ktoré mnohým unikli, vysvetľoval ako ISEKI_Food súvisí s gréckymi skúsenosťami v oblasti vyššieho vzdelávania. Prispel svojimi kapitolami do série kníh ISEKI_Food. Vždy sa snažil o zlepšenie kvality výchovy študentov skvalitňovaním výučny potravinárskych vied a technológie. Bol vždy súčasťou svetovej rodiny potravinárskych vedcov. ISEKI_Food sieť má aj svoju sociálnu stránku, ktorá je pre nás všetkých dôležitá. George bol šarmantný, zábavný a veľký rozprávač. Bol skutočne veľmi obľúbeným členom našej FoodScience komunity. Všetci sme poctení tým, že sme ho poznali a bude nám bolestne chýbať. Rodina ISEKI_Food 15 P a g e
