On Friday, 25 October 2024, the Erasmus+ Institutional Agreement between the University of South Bohemia (JU) and the Universidad Nacional de Trujillo (UNT) for the period 2024/2027 was virtually signed. This is the second opportunity for the Faculty of Arts of the JU to support student and teacher mobility through the Erasmus+ International Mobility Project (KA171) for cooperation with Latin America.
Thanks to the first Erasmus+ International Credit Mobility Project (2020/2023), bilateral student and academic mobility took place, which enriched the teaching of Spanish Philology at the Department of Romance Studies of the USB Faculty of Arts. Both institutions have expressed interest in continuing the successful cooperation. In 2022, the cooperation has been extended to the field of archaeology, coordinated by the Institute of Archaeology of the Faculty of Arts of the JU. Thanks to the new financial support for the period 2024/2027, it will now be possible to build on the existing results and ensure the continuity of cooperation in the field of corpus and computational linguistics and Peruvian literature (Institute of Romance Studies of the Faculty of Arts) and in the field of technologies of non-destructive archaeology and its contribution to environmental protection (Institute of Archaeology of the Faculty of Arts). The project will support the arrival of Peruvian students at the Faculty of Archaeology and the bilateral mobility of teachers.
The established cooperation will deepen the academic ties between USB (Institute of Romance Studies, Faculty of Arts and the Institute of Archaeology, Faculty of Arts) and UNT (Facultad de Educación y Ciencias de Comunicación and Facultad de Ciencias Sociales) and offer opportunities for further development in the field of joint research topics. The implementation of the individual mobilities is planned for the academic year 2025/2026.
The signing ceremony took place virtually with the participation of 19 representatives of both universities and diplomatic institutions. The representatives of the universities appreciated the benefits of this cooperation, which not only strengthens professional relations between the institutions, but also creates a platform for new scientific projects. "The acquisition of the project gives a new impetus to our cooperation. I am looking forward to the Peruvian colleagues and students who will come to us during the project. It opens up new possibilities for deepening scientific cooperation, both in the field of archaeology and in the field of linguistics and literary science - joint conferences, joint publications, which can help in planning applications for international scientific grants," said the Dean of the Faculty of Arts, Prof. Ondřej Pešek, PhD.
