Ecole des Mines de Nantes (EMN) and

Warsaw University of Technology (WUT) 5 years of cooperation

(J. Pluta, Nantes, summer 2002)

Cooperation agreementwas signed 24 Mars 1997

by director of EMN Mr. Germinet and rector of WUT Mr. Woznicki

in September 1997

The reception of the delegation of SUBATECH at WUT by v-ce Rector – prof. Mojski and the Dean of Physics Faculty – prof.. Krok.J. Pluta expresses his satisfaction with the progress in cooperation...

+- A lot of visits of teachers, researchers and

PhD students at EMN and WUT

- An intensive scientific collaboration:

participation in a large scale physics experiments:

- STAR - at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL), and

- ALICE at European Centre of Particle Physics CERN

Good perspectives for scientific cooperation...Barbara Erazmus – the head of STAR group in Nantes andRector of Warsaw University of Technology – Jerzy Woźnickiin front of the scheme of ALICE detector at SUBATECH.

Additional results of cooperation

Work of EMN students in French Enterprises or Agencies in Poland.

Many private visits in Poland of EMN students, after passing 3-month training in Polish Enterprises.

New French-Polish family of EMN student Elric Peyre, married with Polish girl - “found” by him

in Warsaw during the 3-month training in 1997.

Projects for cooperation development :

• Keep all existing forms of cooperation

• Involve other faculties/departments

• Develop cooperation in the frame of “Active Learning”

• Keep contacts in the development of distance learning

• Develop research projects + PhD thesis “cotutelle”

• Look for other possibilities for student exchange

• Arrange cooperation agreement in the frame of European

Community

•… ???

The members of the team from WUT

express their satisfaction with the fruitful cooperationduring the (first) five years

andexpress their intention

for continuation and developmentof the cooperation with EMN in

future.
