2. The aim of education co-operation To create study modules including courses from different universities for exchange students To inform students who are willing to study abroad about the possible courses. To this end a report of education in Nordic 5 Tech universities in the area of process systems engineering has been prepared using information on universities’ websites.

3. Courses and organisation of the co-operation Prior to this meeting, the course lists have been sent to professors Skogestad, Jørgensen, Breitholz and Jacobsen, who have checked the validity of the courses in their field of expertise. As the course lists and modules will be updated in the future, a contact person responsible of taking care of the co-operation should be named in all participating universities.

4. Forms of co-operation 1. Master level At the master level, the common modules will be the most significant form of co-operation In addition to the normal courses, summer courses in varying topics could be included. Maybe master thesis works could also be done in any of the universities? Funding for this kind of co-operation could be raised from Erasmus exchange programme and the participating universities. Companies’ support??

5. Forms of co-operation 2. PhD level At the PhD level, the co-operation could include student and teacher exchanges and organising PhD courses on various topics. Funding for this kind of co-operation could be raised from Erasmus exchange programme, Nordforsk (e.g. Researcer networks, research training courses, course scholarships), and from the participating universities.
