About the project
The main goals of the project are (1) to develop a new educational cooperation between the Department of Psychology at the University of Oslo (UiO) and the Faculty of Psychology at the Lomonosov Moscow State University (MSU) (Erasmus+ agreement), (2) to increase the quality of education at both institutions by incorporating cross-cultural knowledge and practices, (3) to increase the cross-Cultural competences among students and staff, and (4) to promote the mobility of students, administrative and academic staffs between the two universities.
Objectives
The project will be a unique opportunity for students, administrative and academic staffs to learn and exchange about different education and research traditions as well as cultural values and practices. This project will be the first step towards the development of Joint Master and Ph.D. degrees in Psychology between UiO and MSU (Erasmus Mundus). It will strengthen the knowledge cooperation and, therefore, will be the source of new education and research collaborations between UiO and MSU and other institutions in Norway and Russia. This project will also contribute to the mutual understanding of the Cultural differences and similarities between Norway and Russia.
