ICEG project visitors from Tajikistan in Laurea

The purpose of the visit is to complete a work package designated to Laurea and Institute of Economy and Trade of Tajik State University of Commerce in Khujand city (IET TSUC) in the framework of the Higher Education Project “Improving the competitiveness of economic graduates-economists based on the principles of the Bologna process” (ICEG). The project started in January 2020, with Istanbul Okan University, Turkey, as the third partner.

The project is financed by the World Bank and coordinated by the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Tajikistan for the implementation of IET TSUC´s strategic goals. The main goal of the project is the internationalization and adaptation of academic activities of IET TSUC to the requirements of the European Higher Education Area. The work packages have included activities such as improvement of educational standards of curricula and academic disciplines (syllabuses), introduction of innovative teaching methods and advanced teaching skills and creation of novel educational laboratories.

In this framework, the project visit is a pertinent activity as it allows the working group to benchmark and learn about the activities, functions, processes and methods in an authentic environment in one of Finland`s most innovative universities of applied sciences, Laurea, in which a group of five experts has been working in the ICEG project.
