In 2019, UFSC and UNIWA – UNIVERSITY OF WEST ATTICA signed an agreement in the context of Erasmus+ International Credit Mobility Programme. This cooperation includes the area of fluid power and mechatronic systems and in 2020 professors Rodrigo B. Fernandes (NeDIP) and Victor J. De Negri (LASHIP) visited the Department of Mechanical Engineering at UNIWA. Now, in May 2022, professors Michail Papoutsidakis, Christos Drosos, and Fotios Spyropoulos had the opportunity to visit UFSC.

Prof. Papoutsidakis works on pneumatics and mechatronics and visited the LASHIP’s facilities while Prof. Drosos, from the area of informatics, had discussed with Prof. Odorico Mendizabal from INE/UFSC. Prof. Spyropoulos works on Law and Artificial Intelligence and attended a meeting with PhD Students Isabela Sabo and Thiago, from the research group of Prof. Aires Rover from CCJ/UFSC.

The focus of this cooperation is to create students’ mobility from both institutions soon. The picture shows the institutional presentation from the Head of the Department of Mechanical Engineering/UFCS, Prof. Amir Oliveira Jr. to our guests.
