21. + - A lot of visits of teachers, researchers and PhD students at EMN and WUT - An intensive scientific collaboration: participation in a large scale physics experiments: - STAR - at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL), and - ALICE at European Centre of Particle Physics CERN

22. Good perspectives for scientific cooperation... Barbara Erazmus – the head of STAR group in Nantes and Rector of Warsaw University of Technology – Jerzy Woźnicki in front of the scheme of ALICE detector at SUBATECH.

23. Additional results of cooperation Work of EMN students in French Enterprises or Agencies in Poland. Many private visits in Poland of EMN students, after passing 3-month training in Polish Enterprises. New French-Polish family of EMN student Elric Peyre, married with Polish girl - “found” by him in Warsaw during the 3-month training in 1997.

24. Projects for cooperation development : Keep all existing forms of cooperation Involve other faculties/departments Develop cooperation in the frame of “Active Learning” Keep contacts in the development of distance learning Develop research projects + PhD thesis “cotutelle” Look for other possibilities for student exchange Arrange cooperation agreement in the frame of European Community … ???
