Health security and the organization and management of the quality of health-care system concern all countries. To cope with this, well-trained specialists in specific and adapted methodologies are needed. The participating partner countries suffer from a lack of qualified graduates (managers, doctors, or any other profession involved in the health-care quality system and services).The need for university training for specialists in this field is therefore very strong. Staff capable of developing and delivering continuing professional education is also necessary for professionals to adapt to the latest developments in this constantly evolving field. The project meets these needs with the development of study programs in the targeted areas.Contribute to the development of health security and the organization and management of the quality of health-care by mobilizing training engineering to operationalize the necessary actions, by offering academic and professional training programs capable of transmitting the skills required by medical structures / companies.The new programs created will be entirely or partially delivered remotely. The programs developed will meet the needs of companies / medical structures in need of specialists capable of improving health security and managing the quality of health care. The implementation of the project must / will be based on a broad interinstitutional partnership to guarantee the sustainability of the results.The ministries of education and health will support the project in partner countries. They will guarantee compliance with standards for the sustainability of the new training offer.Professional organizations and medical structures will be the guarantors of professional outlets for training courses for graduates.

The main aim of the current project is to enhance business-HEI cooperation in consortium countries by changing the paradigm of education in line with Bologna process requirementsThe current world economic situation and ongoing social changes, create special needs for education systems to satisfy. Growth of competition and widespreading of IT has a significant impact on educational process and increased the need for closer ties between business activities and university knowledge. But the real progress is slow due to the growing gap between the expectations of employers and competencies of graduates, as well as the obstacles in making a link between businesses and universities in partner countries. The absence of State level benchmark of such cooperation in partner countries leads to huge and unnecessery controversy. In order to change this situation, the current project is aiming to achieve the following sub-goals:-To locate gaps between partner universities experience in cooperation and interconnection of the study process with business practices and corporate supervision;-Identify the current professional and learning outcome structure required by modern employers in partner countries through in-depth research;- To introduce a new system of HEI – Business interaction based on leading practices of European Universities with combination of practical-oriented teaching and thorough involvement of business into the study process;-To retrain teaching staff for fulfilling new roles in the changed learning environment and applying active teaching methods in shaping the future employee capacities;- To contribute to elaboration of new generation of methodological documentation supporting the HEI-Business interaction systemThe impact of current goals achievement would remove the obstacles of bringing the academic and business practices together, increase graduate employment in partner countries and contribute to spreading of advanced European values in the society.

The project consist of 17 universities: 5 from Program Countries: FR, DE, LV, EST, BE; 4 from KZ, 4 from RU and 3 from BY; two stakeholders of related field: 2-from KZ, 1- from RU and 1-from BY and P1 spin-off company- P6 from DE. The overall objectives of the proposal are: to support the modernisation of the higher education (HE) in space exploration and intilligent robotic system in the targeted Universities in BY, KZ, RU through innovation of two cycles curricula in line with the new development in the area, the labour market demand and according to the Bologna Process and best practice. In relation to the output/outcomes: review/analysis of the current programmes/curricula (BA, MA) in space technologies and robotic; to upgrade current programmes/curricula inclusive ECTS; to develop a set of 14 new core curricula and 7 transferable modules; adopt/accredit on institutional/national level; to develop, publish, purchase the new tutorials, handbooks, syllabi; to develop WEB based platform; to prepare a set of documentation for ROBOLAB purchase/install the equipment; to retrain academic/non-academic teachers in new curricula and methodology; Master Classes in new curricula held in ROBOLAB; pilot teaching students in new curricula using ROBOLAB establishment; developing a set of documentation/purchasing/installing equipment; staff training/pilot operation/networking of TETRO; to address the envisaged impact: promotion of closer exchange between HEI community and labour market to meet the needs of labour market to improve training in space technologies and robotic to foster employability of educated youth and to enable networking between various stakeholders on this issue. Academic content: 21 curricula and module inclusive ECTS using updated teaching techniques and modern learning environment.

The aim of the project is to increase the possibilities for KZ,MN,RU to improve the quality of living in the big cities, reduce costs and resource consumption, to improve contact between citizens and government by implementing of the Smart City technologies (SCT) using urban informatics and technology – by starting preparation of the new breed of multidisciplinary ICT-skills graduates. At the moment in all these countries in spite of governments’ ambitious plans no university prepares such specialists. Development of the Double Degree Master Program in the SCT (DDMP) allows to prepare highly qualified professionals and to implement ECTS, EU principles of assessment what will make the graduates internationally recognized. The students will get the possibility to obtain RU,KZ,MN MS degree in SC and MS Degree of one of EU universities. This objective will be achieved through major Outcomes/Outputs: D1.1.Business community needs and expectations analyzed, D2.1.New curricula developed, D2.2.New syllabi developed, D2.3.Partners' network established legally, D3.1.Skills upgraded and methodological support of the teaching process is ensured, D3.2.Teaching materials and training guide developed, D4.1.PC universities staff upgraded in quality assurance, D4.2.QAS and user guide developed, D4.3.QAS in operation, D5.1.PC universities staff upgraded in e-learning and new technologies, D5.2.IHLS in operation, equipped (an innovative approach to teaching includes: web-portal, remote/virtual labs, e-learning, access to the EU databases), D6.1.Students' training implemented; and other Outcomes/Outputs relevant to the project’s realization. DDMP development includes development of the curriculum, content, teaching materials for 18 subjects, assessment methodology and signing bilateral agreements with EU universities on DDMP realization. Guide for the new students’ admission to the DDMP will be developed. Links with business guarantee that the DDMP will follow PC business demands.

Aim of the project is to support the modernization, professionalization and internationalization of postgraduate training in the field of children care management in Central Asia (CA) Countries - Kazakhstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan - in cooperation with HEI from Italy, Germany and Poland willing to share their expertise and experience in the fields of Pediatrics, Pediatric Surgery and Child Neuropsychiatry postgraduate training. It’s a joint project organised as a feasibility study to become, if successful, a structural project for a sustainable and long lasting improvement in the organisation of postgraduate medical training in CA countries, not only in paediatrics but possibly also in other fields of medical care. By-product of the project will be to emphasise the importance of children care in the ongoing process of Health Care Reform in CA countries, thus contributing to reduce the infant mortality, through an updated approach to the modern techniques of neonatal and pediatric care, widely resorting on the tools made available by ICT. Outputs will be new curricula and new training strategies devoted to an integrated, holistic care of the child, harmonised with those adopted in EU countries and aiming to achieve the same results. To offer a solid and sustainable basis on which to ground these results, state-of-the-art ICT teaching and teleconferencing systems will be provided to all partners, with on-the-job training. Project’s preparatory activities of situation analysis and paediatric facilities census will also provide Governmental authorities an invaluable tool, offering a sound basis on which to build any future project of intervention on the health system and manpower devoted to the care of children in CA Countries.Ultimate impact will hopefully be a reduction in infant mortality and a substantial increase in life expectancy at birth for the populations of partner Countries, now living in average some ten years less than EU population.
