The SmartWB project, funded by the European Union under the ERASMUS-EDU-2022-CBHE initiative, has successfully upgraded the Polytechnic University of Tirana with advanced geodetic equipment. This significant enhancement provides students with the opportunity to engage directly in innovative laboratory practices in the fields of geodesy and urban planning.
The new, modern geodetic instruments allow students to perform precise measurements, conduct comprehensive spatial analyses, and develop practical solutions for real-world urban planning challenges. The hands-on experience gained through these laboratories equips students with valuable skills, preparing them to contribute effectively to climate-smart urban development projects.
The incorporation of this sophisticated equipment into educational curricula not only boosts student capabilities but also positions the Polytechnic University of Tirana as a leading institution for geospatial education and research in Albania. This investment underscores the university’s commitment to providing high-quality, practical education and reinforcing the link between academic learning and industry requirements.
