Thursday, February 8th 2024, UB held a new session of training for the teaching staff of the Faculty of Biology for the development of digital competencies in microscopy and using the Digital Microscopy Laboratory, within the project Digital ecosystem for sustainable learning at the University of Bucharest – EDIS-UB.
The Digital Microscopy Laboratory recently founded at the Faculty of Biology of the University of Bucharest is equipped with the Microscopy Integrated Digital System for Education through the project EDIS-UB and is the only one of its kind in Romania.
The system integrates 15 Zeiss PrimoStar 3 microscopes featuring 8.3 mp color fully integrated digital cameras and a managing system and projection of microscopic images. The infrastructure will be available for teaching activities starting the 2nd semester of this academic year, and will significantly contribute to modernizing teaching activities within numerous disciplines outside the sphere of life and earth sciences, especially the Biochemistry program, comprised in the EDIS project (the person responsible for implementing the EDIS project in the Faculty of Biology is associate professor Bianca Gălățeanu, PhD).
In addition, the equipment will contribute to creating digital content for students and professors within the University Virtual Space which is being implemented at the University of Bucharest through the EDIS project.
20 people attended the meeting, among which 15 professors from the Faculty of Biology, who teach Biochemistry, and who underlined the importance of modernizing didactic infrastructure through digital components for training students for the current labor market context.
Among the new technologies purchased through the EDIS program is a new state of the art digital microscopy laboratory destined to students and professors from the Faculty of Biology. Introducing top of the range digital technologies in the teaching process is a way to improve the quality of learning processes, but also a way to prepare students for the professions of the future, which most of the time include research competencies. The University of Bucharest is engaged in an ample process to invigorate STEM domains, inclusively by better preparing future science professors, declared professor Marian Preda, PhD, the Rector of the University of Bucharest.
The project Digital ecosystem for sustainable learning at the University of Bucharest – EDIS-UB, project code 1828329254, with a total value of 43.997.550 lei, is implemented on a period of three years (September 16th 2022 and December 21st 2027) and is financed through the National Plan for Recovery and Resilience, component C:15, reform 5: “Adopting the legislative frame for digitalizing education”.
