Deliverables

with over 30 different tasks to be undertaken

The University-Business collaboration is one of the most important keys to success for the global economy. It is key also for students, HEIs and enterprises. UniLab will give tools to universities in Russia, Belarus and Azerbaijan to improve their current collaboration efforts so they can graduate better equipped students, ready for the 21st Century challenges.

Apart from the 5 development packages, UniLab has a work package on Quality Assurance and Evaluation, one on Dissemination and Exploitation and one on Management.

Stakeholders feedback

The employers are ready to open the doors to those students who are eager to explore, question, challenge and think in tune with the times. Bring fresh ideas to business, whether for a short-term practical placement, or a long-term career. You are welcome, UniLab population!

Svetlana Shterklav

Human Resources Department, Sberbank, Krasnoyarsk

A work-based practical placement should allow us students to learn more about a particular sector, a particular company, and a particular job role, and apply our academic knowledge in a real working environment, giving us ideas of a future career. Wider and better opportunities and higher trust level from the part of universities and businesses – that is what I expect from Unilab.

Ruslan Davydov

Student of Siberian Federal University

When it comes to students’ work-based practical placement and their further employment, there are loads of opportunities today, and a vast deal of unexplored paths. UniLab gives me the confidence to implement new models and approaches in Siberian Federal University and in the region. Fair winds and following seas!
