General info fundamental principles

mutual cooperation of both schools common research activities focused primarily on

biomedical engineering, electronics, signal processing, acoustics and hearing

cooperation on teaching and education of students know-how transfer

General info general project objectives

partnership establish a mutually complementing partnership strenghten personal and professional relationships establish the fundament for further cooperation

research expansion of research activities in the border regions enhancement of the qualification of academic and research staff utilization of results of applied research in both regions cooperation with professionals of many research fields realization of long-term research strategies

General info general project objectives

education enhancement of the professional level of academic staff enhancement of the level and topicality of the education increase of attractiveness of technical studies

regional opportunities reinforcement of regional economics, opening of additional perspectives for

students support of inter-cultural dialogue enrichment of the region with new job opportunities

General info main research topics

lung ventilation deepening the know-how in the field of lung ventilation the development of the respective testing systems expansion of active testing leading to a model prototype as an alternative

to tests on animals acoustic properties, real-time control, embedded systems

electronics and embedded systems sensor networks analysis and measurement of complex systems hearing and acoustics
