Rector of UT, Prof. Dr. Artan Hoxha, presented the platform "For a European and comprehensive university" with the academic staff of the Institute of Applied Nuclear Physics in the framework of university elections.

 

He emphasized that there will be greater attention for the Institute in the next mandate. After 4 years of the first term, a different and better climate is felt and this shows that the University of Tirana has been more focused on fulfilling its tasks.

Also, the Rector added that UT is now a more open and transparent university and people are very clear about which door to go to to look for a solution to their problem.

 

Accreditation:

UT is accredited for a period of 6 years, which is the maximum number of years of accreditation. 41 programs have been accredited and by 2025 work is underway to accredit all programs. 

 

Scientific research:

Scientific research is directly related to the Institute of Applied Nuclear Physics. The rector emphasized that a balance has been established between teaching and scientific research. 31 research projects have been supported, and currently 10 times more lecturers are engaged than 4 years ago. 

In 2020, the budget for scientific research was 290 thousand Euros, while in 2023 it was 3 million Euros.

Today UT has supportive policies for young researchers and the re-opening of the doctoral program after many years is very important as there are 400 students enrolled in this school and most of them are young UT lecturers who will have the opportunity to grow professionally.

 

Mobility:

In the last 3 years, the number of mobilities for both lecturers and students has increased. 

• 600 staff members for teaching and training in EU partner universities;

• 400 academic staff for teaching and training from EU partner universities, hosted at UT.
