Washington State University has recently signed two agreements to pursue transatlantic collaboration with Poland’s AGH University of Krakow.
The agreements provide a new opportunity for WSU faculty and students to gain international experience and engagement at the Polish university, said Joseph Iannelli, professor and graduate program chair for WSU Tri-Cities’ School of Engineering & Applied Sciences and director of WSU Tri-Cities’ international initiatives. They also allow WSU to compete for support for research and exchange programs through the European Union’s ERASMUS+ program, a €26 billion funding mechanism supporting education, training, youth, and sport in Europe.
As part of the partnership, AGH has established 10 Erasmus+ fellowships — five for students and five for faculty members — to WSU faculty and students. Iannelli, along with Sergey Lapin, professor of mathematics and statistics at WSU Everett and director of WSU’s data analytics program, received support to visit AGH during the first week of June. While there, the WSU professors further explored research collaboration ideas, namely in the fields of applied mathematics education and computational space flight dynamics.
