Tempus ALIGN WP1 Dublin Training is Done!

From the 8th of December to the 12th of December, IADT hosted 55 Tempus ALIGN participants from Armenia, Russia and Ukraina for a week of ALIGN WP (work package) 1 capacity building training. Thanks to Dr. Tara Ryan for her organisation of the WP1 Dublin training and the cultural events. Thanks also to our European experts Andre, Zbigniew, Inna, Durdica, Sergei and Almantas, Special thanks from me to IADT's Cliona Flood, Laura Venables, Therese Moylan, Marion Palmer, Kay Doyle and Mary Anne O Carroll, as well as to my 3rd Year students Caoimhe, Fiona, Fionn, Glen, and Sophie. Thanks also to our expert IADT guide David Doyle and to RCSI's Martina Crehan, QQI's Bryan Maguire and Laura Harmon (President USI), Kevin Donoghue and Conor from USI!

We thoroughly enjoyed the teaching and learning discussions, and especially the debates around learning outcomes, student assessment and the infamous Driving Test exercise!

We hope the Dublin training will benefit all of the ALIGN HEIs, agencies and stakeholders! WP1 (capacity building) is officially done, though we envisage a continuation of capacity building training for the duration of the ALIGN project.

Onwards to 2015 and to the rest of the ALIGN work packages!

Tempus Align in Ghent!

Spent all of last week (Sunday 28th of Sept to Friday 3rd of October) in Ghent on Tempus Align Work Programme 1 training in the spectacular city of Ghent in Flanders. Some excellent work by our Align partners from Armenia, Russia and Ukraina, with some real traction on their individual alignment projects. We learned many many valuable lessons from our Align partners, which we will take back to our own programmes, institutions and nations! And we had some fun too, with the entire group coming together to push the project forward, despite many national, sectoral and institutional challenges.

Immense congratulations to IADT's Tara Ryan on her work in developing the WP1 Capacity Building training, and a huge thank you to Andre Govaert for his brilliant organisation of the Ghent events, including the cultural activities! Immense thanks also to our European partners Mila Zarkh, Zbigniew Palka, Inna Pomorina, Paul Hyland and Romain Hulpia for their hugely valuable contributions to the WP1 training.

The final days's KU Leuven postgraduate presentations were an eye-opener - clearly showing how real-world problems, excellent research and funding can result in great benefits for students, institutions and society! A model for us all!

less than 10 weeks to WP1 Capacity Building training in Dublin!
