After a tiring, but at the same time interesting 13-hour journey, they reached the destination - Hotel Narvik. The first two days of stay they explored the surroundings, history, culture, nature. On Saturday, in their free time, they visited the WWII Museum https://warmuseum.no/; saw the monuments https://www.alamy.com/, the firefighters' opening day in Narvik and walked along the coast of Ofotfjord.

On Sunday 24.9. they took advantage of the sunny weather and made the day more pleasant by climbing Tredjetoppen (1 272 m above sea level).

During the mobility week, a project meeting was held where individual project participants were introduced to each other, presenting the activities already carried out and visions for the future.

The mobility also included a requested lecture combined with training: practical use of green technologies in the production of metal parts, which was prepared by an expert in this field by Mr. Marius Wang. A professional course Industry X.0 was also prepared for the mobility participants, where requested lectures were presented by researchers and teaching staff from the University of Žilina (this course was also attended by students and staff of UiT).

The Mobility Week also brought the opportunity to participate in the Researchers' Days, where experts from several fields presented their innovative solutions and research, e.g. the issue of camera systems (Exploring ComputerVision for baggage systems).

Thank you very much for the opportunity to visit Norway!
