This article is founded on the basic assumption that Europe taken as a whole possesses all the necessary resources to combat successfully any non-European competitor in the fields of technology, provided that it solves the management problem of organizing the coordination of those resources. At present, the author argues, they are dispersed and so underexploited. To contribute to the solution of this core problem, he sets out a new approach to research collaboration, using the example of the German–French Institute for Automation and Robotics to show ways in which HEIs can cooperate internationally to provide industry with what it needs to be truly competitive.

This paper, primarily based on a literature review, considers the utilization of adult learning principles in training learners to operate high risk equipment. Vocational Education and Training sectors throughout the world are traditionally responsible for training delivery in these areas where generally andragogical principles as defined by Knowles (1970), are applied with, in some cases, application of a heutagogical approach, as outlined by Hase and Kenyon (2000). Aside from considering these approaches, a new approach is proposed, referred to as authology, with a basis of including notions of responsibility and duty of care in adult learning. There are numerous training programs in vocational education and training, such as those related to high risk equipment and plant operation, for which development of learner responsibility is a critical component in the training given the potential to cause harm, injury or fatality.

Introduction. The article is devoted to substantiating the choice of full-text databases of scientific journals for national subscription and, accordingly, companies providing access to such databases. The necessity of automating the selection of such databases and companies is substantiated. Previous studies on this topic have not been conducted.Materials and Methods. The article analyzes the activity of Kazakhstani scientists in three priority areas of scientific research for Kazakhstan: nanotechnology, regenerative medicine and robotics. The studies were conducted on arrays of articles and using the standard tools and functionality of Scopus and Web of Science Core Collection, the global citation indices.Results. The authors report the data on the Kazakhstan publication activity in the three priority areas: 68 and 60 articles of Kazakhstan researchers were analyzed, respectively, in Scopus and Web of Science. Nazarbaev University leads the publication rating in three priority areas with 32 publications indexed in Scopus. The international databases recommended for the national subscription and the companies, suppliers of the databases were identified. A new approach to justifying the choice of the repertoire of scientific journal databases for a national subscription is proposed and justified.Discussion and Conclusion. In order to provide full-fledged informational support for research and stimulate publication activity in such priority areas for Kazakhstan as nanotechnology, regenerative medicine and robotics, it is proposed to include in the national subscription the databases of scientific journals provided by IEEE, Springer and Wiley. In order to obtain search results by such criteria as publishers/aggregators, it is proposed to develop the tools for generating statistical reporting in the Web of Science and Scopus databases. It is suggested to automate the process of determining the popularity of the databases of scientific journals and their providers with the goal of national subscription to the full-text databases they supply.

Abstract This article reports on the results of a teacher training course in which 41 teachers, working together with three university researchers, experienced a different way to engage in meaningful teaching and learning activities in design, coding and robotics. The course was run in an Italian school during the lock-down period of the Covid-19 pandemics. The training path had the objective to make the participants work differently, acting both as researchers and as teachers in training. The research reported in this article examined if and how an online teacher training course could act as a third space between school and academic cultures to achieve a negotiation of pedagogical practices. Findings from the study, collected through pre-post questionnaires and open-ended discussions, highlight an improvement in knowledge related to coding and robotics. Moreover, during the course, teachers experienced a new approach to space-time dimensions, first-hand experimentation and a collaborative approach, leading to greater perceived confidence in their skills and competences.

Abstract Strings and ropes are a proven, common fisheries and aquaculture construction elements outside the US. Using them as scaffolding also enables a diversity of ocean sensing, communications and architectures, including our goal of sentinel reefs. Packaging of electronics is key to enabling such structures and systems. Our research is towards a demonstrable science-engineering-informed framework for 3D habitat designs critical to stock fish development & coastal protection. These ‘nature-inspired’ reef infrastructures, can enable novel instrumented ‘reef observatories’ capable of collecting real-time ecosystem data. Embedding lighting and electronic elements into reef systems are the first systems in development. This new approach of bringing light to the underwater world for optical sensing, communication and even a new breed of underwater robotic vehicle is an interdisciplinary research activity which integrates principles of electronic packaging, and STEM with art/design.

The new approach for measuring the flatness of floors or other horizontal surfaces is based on the use of vehicle-mounted sensors that moves through these surfaces in a more or less automated way. It becomes competitive in relation to the classical methods using the straightedge and the wedge or tilts or geodetic methods used interchangeably. The measurement with vehicles requires, on the one hand, the movement of the sensors along the set lines, and on the other - the appropriate frequency and precision of the readings. Research and implementation works on the implementation of kinematic tacheometric measurements to the prism moved on the floor are still underway. These works cover two aspects: the measurement capability of the instruments and the precision of evaluation of flatness as a function of prism movement in certain directions on the tested area. These topics are the subject of scientific research and are periodically published. As the part of this work, kinematic measurements of the Leica TCRP 1201+ motorized tacheometer (RTS) have been performed to the prism mounted on a remote-controlled vehicle used in modeling and robotics. Measurement models (different scan variants) were developed, the reliability of the measurement axes' position by averaging between two wheels of the vehicle was analyzed, and tests that enabled determination of the accuracy of the totalizer-type measurement for the moving target were performed. Both scan variants were tested: (i) along fixed lines and (ii) along individually defined lines, obtaining comparable results (not exceeding 10%). As a result of the research, it was concluded that the adopted theses were confirmed and thus the applied approach could be used for measuring flatness of the floor.
