Department of Revitalization and Architecture

International cooperation:

International cooperation at the Department of Revitalization and Architecture includes research exchange of researchers, maintaining contacts with foreign research units and participation in international conferences and scientific seminars.

In recent years, the staff has conducted scientific cooperation with domestic and foreign units as well as with the social and economic environment. This cooperation was related to the implementation of joint research topics in the field of assessing the degree of soil contamination in urban and post-industrial areas and in the area of communication routes. Cooperation was established with research centers in Valencia, Brno, Artvin, Durham, Nottingham and Melbourne. The department’s cooperation with foreign centers is expressed, inter alia, in cooperation on the basis of bilateral agreements, international research projects, COST actions, as well as bilateral exchange of teaching staff and students.

As part of international cooperation, the staff of the department also completed short-term teaching and training internships (University of Valencia, Agricultural University of Tirana, Bar Ilan University, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Mendel University in Brno, Artvin Coruh University, IFA-Tulln, University of Cagliari), short-term experience exchange visits (University of Illinois at Chicago) and long-term research internships (Hanoi University of Mining and Geology, Durham University, Univeristy of Nottingham, The University of Melbourne).

Currently, the department cooperates with scientists from Hanoi University of Mining and Geology on projects 09 / 18ITT-BGDDT and 5136 / QEBGDDT “Research on practical implication of AI solutions for sustainable land use, adapting climate change scenarios allowing prevention of natural disasters in northern Vietnam mountainous region”. Research projects carried out jointly are related to the analysis of the impact of climate change on the functioning of infrastructure and sustainable management of urban areas. The department’s employees are also involved in the implementation of the European COST Action CA18135-FIRElinks program, bringing together scientists from 37 European countries, which aims to create a fire protection system for natural areas. Last year, the staff of the department also collaborated on the MuMoLaDe (Multiscale Modeling of Landslides and Debris Flows) project, financed under the EC 7th Framework Program, Marie Curie ITN (Initial Training Networks). The aim of the project was to create a multidisciplinary system for the analysis of landslide mechanisms, using advanced computer techniques and physical models. The project brought together researchers, scientists and partners from 21 countries of the European Union.
