On 5-6 September, representatives of the Ministry of Education of Azerbaijan and the country’s universities will attend a workshop on strategic development of higher education institutions. The event is organized by the Technical Assistance and Information Exchange Instrument of the European Commission (TAIEX) in close cooperation with the Institute of Education under the country’s Education Ministry.
Four EU experts, including experts representing educational institutions in Germany and Portugal, will help their Azerbaijani counterparts learn about EU experience with strategic planning at university level. One of the four experts, Thomas Estermann from Austria, will represent the European University Association. The presenters will also share best practices and examples from European universities and explain university development in the context of strategic planning.
TAIEX is a demand-driven tool that supports partner countries with the adaptation of national laws, regulations and quality standards to match those of EU Member States in the framework of Cooperation or Association Agreements signed with the EU. In the Eastern Neighbourhood, TAIEX works with Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine.
