HiOA collaborates with São Paulo State University and the rehabilitation centre BR-SORRI-BAURU on ergonomics, rehabilitation, man-machine interaction, collaborative design and rapid prototyping.
HiOA samarbeider med São Paulo State University og rehabiliteringssenteret BR-SORRI-BAURU om ergonomi, rehabilitering, menneske-maskin-interaksjon, ”collaborative design” og “rapid prototyping”.
The Norwegian Centre for International Cooperation in Education (SIU) has awarded almost NOK 2 million for the project.
Nesten to millioner kroner har Senter for internasjonalisering av utdanning bevilget til prosjektet.
Brazil is an especially attractive partner for collaborations because of our shared interests in trading and welfare solutions, and because Brazil has strong educational institutions and an interesting culture that generates interest and enthusiasm among academics and students in Norway, as HiOA wrote in its application.
Det er spesielt attraktivt å samarbeide med Brasil på grunn av felles interesser i handel og velferdsutfordringer, og fordi Brasil har sterke utdanningsinstitusjoner og en interessant kultur som vekker interesse og entusiasme blant kollegaer og studenter i Norge, skrev HiOA i søknaden.
‘This is about Norway looking to maintain and strengthen its ties with Brazil,’ explains professor and project coordinator Frode Eika Sandnes of the Department of Computer Science.
– Dette handler om at Norge vil opprettholde og styrke båndene til Brasil, forteller prosjektkoordinator og professor Frode Eika Sandnes fra Institutt for informasjonsteknologi.
‘If Norwegian students go to Brazil and Brazilian students come to Norway, and they get to know each other’s culture and language, they can become advocates for the fields they are affiliated to.’
– Hvis studenter fra Norge reiser til Brasil og brasilianske studenter kommer til oss, og lærer hverandres kultur og språk å kjenne, kan de bli agenter for de feltene de er knyttet til.
SIU announced a call for applications for funding under the UTFORSK Partnership Programme almost two years ago.
Senter for internasjonalisering i utdanning (SIU) lyste ut ”Utforsk”-midler for snart to år siden.
HiOA prepared a trip to Brazil to identify opportunities, and found a potential partner in Bauru at Sao Paulo University.
Da forberedte HiOA en tur til Brasil for å sondere mulighetene, og fant samarbeidsmuligheter i Bauru ved Sao Paulo.
‘UTFORSK funds are prestigious, and we decided to apply.
– Utforsk-midlene er prestisjetunge, og vi bestemte oss for å søke.
We had invited two Brazilian professors to Oslo to join us in the application process.’
Vi hadde invitert med oss to brasilianske professorer til Oslo til å være med på søknadsprosessen.
HiOA was one of three applicants awarded funding for a collaboration with Brazil, and the start-up seminar for the four-year project took place in January, also in Brazil.
HiOA var en av tre som fikk penger til samarbeid med Brasil, og i januar var det oppstartsseminar for det fireårige prosjektet, også det i Brasil.
‘Half will be spent on supporting students from Brazil who want to come to us, and the rest is allocated for teacher collaboration and mobility.’
– Halvparten dreier seg om å støtte studenter fra Brasil som vil til oss, resten er til lærersamarbeid og lærermobilitet.
‘We will create courses together, teach each other and engage in exchanges.
– Vi skal lage kurs sammen, undervise for hverandre og drive utveksling.
We will also get to know each other better, because they will be our strategic partners.’
Og vi skal bli bedre kjent, fordi de skal bli våre strategiske partnere.
‘It is primarily the Department of Product Design and the Department of Computer Science that will represent HiOA, but we are also trying to get health sciences on board.’
– Det er primært Institutt for produktdesign og Institutt for informasjonsteknologi som deltar fra HiOA, men vi prøver også å få med oss helsefag.
Last year, the Minister of Education and Research also visited Brazil along with a group of rectors, including Deputy Rector Nina Waaler of HiOA.
Og i fjor var kunnskapsministeren i Brasil med mange rektorer i følget sitt, inkludert prorektor Nina Waaler på HiOA.
‘Our project is about how your functional ability is reduced as you get older.
– Prosjektet vårt handler om at du blir skjørere og får dårligere funksjonsevne når du blir eldre.
Technology can be developed that helps people to live independently and cope by themselves as much as possible, in which case design and engineering are important factors.’
For at du skal kunne gjøre mest mulig selv, kan det utvikles teknologi som kan hjelpe deg å leve selvstendig, og da er design og «engineering» viktig.
‘The number of elderly people is increasing, and the birth rate is decreasing.
– Det blir flere og flere eldre mennesker, og det blir det ikke født så mange barn.
This puts more pressure on those who are to raise the standard of the welfare schemes, and the development of technical solutions can be very useful in this context.’
Da blir det mye mer press på dem som skal løfte velferdsordningene, og da kan utvikling av tekniske løsninger være svært nyttig.
‘This also means less of a burden on the health service, and a more dignified life for the elderly.’
– Da blir det også mindre belastning på helsetjenesten, og du får kanskje et mer verdig liv.
‘Students can help to create solutions, and working on this across cultures is very interesting, because Brazil, Norway and many other countries are faced with the same problems.’
– Studenter kan bidra til å lage løsninger, og det er veldig interessant å gjøre dette på kryss av kulturer, fordi Brasil, Norge og mange andre land har de samme problemstillingene.
Cultural differences also make the project fun.
Kulturelle forskjeller gjør også prosjektet morsomt.
‘For example, the Brazilians were surprised to see elderly people outdoors in Norway with walking frames, which is something you never see in Brazil.
– For eksempel undret brasilianerne seg over eldre som gikk ute med rullator i Norge, det ser du aldri i Brasil.
There, the elderly stay at home and never get out.
Der er de hjemme, og kommer seg ikke ut.
The roads are for cars.
Veiene er bilistenes «heaven».
But it’s very good for your health to be able to walk around with a walking frame.’
Men det er jo utrolig helsefremmende å kunne gå rundt med en rullator.
‘Experts in Brazil and Norway have very different expertise.
– Fagfolkene i Brasil og Norge har forskjellig kompetanse.
They are good at ergonomics, for example, where our competence is lower, while we are good at universal design and design in general.’
De er gode på ergonomi, for eksempel, det har ikke vi så mye kompetanse på, men vi er gode på universell utforming og design.
They have unique competences in rapid prototyping, for example making prostheses using 3D printing and milling.
Så er de særlig gode til å produsere ting, for eksempel lage proteser med 3D-printing og milling.
‘When you combine milling with 3D printing, you can use different materials to make interesting objects at a low cost.
– Når du kombinerer milling med å lage former i 3D-printing, kan du benytte ulike materialer til å lage interessante ting veldig billig.
This can lead to much better quality and be well-suited for the purpose.’
Det kan gi mye bedre kvalitet og være godt egnet til formålet.
‘In a sub-project we are currently working on, for example, we are experimenting with a new type of prosthesis for a girl who does not have arms.’
– I et delprosjekt vi har gående nå, eksperimenterer vi for eksempel med en ny type protese til en jente som ikke har armer.
‘Initially, two Brazilian master’s degree students will spend half their time on the universal design of ICT and half on product design, meaning that we co-supervise them.’
– I første omgang skal to brasilianske masterstudenter være halvparten av tiden på universell utforming av IKT og halvparten på produktdesign, slik at vi co-veileder dem.
‘This is a new arrangement, and we’re testing how we can work across the departments – on a small scale to begin with, and then we’ll see whether it works,’ says Frode Eika Sandnes.
– Dette er nytt, og vi prøver ut hvordan vi kan jobbe på tvers av instituttene.
A group from Brazil will also be coming for the International Conference on Engineering and Product Design Education in September.
Ellers kommer det folk fra Brasil til “International Conference on Engineering and product Design Education” i september.
