Ergonomics and human factors in the Cyber Age. The case of Ergonomics and Human Factors Regional Educational CEEPUS Network [articol]

Abstract

The Ergonomics and Human Factors Regional Educational CEEPUS Network (CIII-HU-1506-01-2021) was established and approved for funding in 2020 and still planned to be extended and developed. The network is the result of collaboration between nine universities with a key role in ergonomic education and research, promoting the profession of ergonomist (especially in industrial and logistics systems fields). Partners have agreed on providing support for master and doctoral programs, for joint scientific and didactic publications, at the level of European requirements and standards, but with a focus especially in the Danube region. The paper aims to present the achievements of the Ergonomics and Human Factors Regional Educational CEEPUS Network during the last two academic years (2020 – 2022) and the planned activities for the next period (2022 – 2023). The Network establishment and development is considered mature and could be a good practice example in the field of ergonomics collaborations by providing evidence of common activities and achievements that have conducted to the extension of the network and other project collaboration types of development.
