CirculEC Project Monitoring Visits

CirculEC Project Monitoring Visits

The Karaganda University of Kazpotrebsoyuz is implementing the academic project CirculEC - "Development of innovative curricula and modules in Circular Economy and Sustainable Development", funded by the European Union under the Erasmus+ program. The project implementation period is 2024-2026.

The consortium includes 15 partners – leading universities and research centres from Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan, which adopt the experience of European colleagues from Spain, Italy and Germany. Such an international alliance contributes to the creation of an innovative educational environment and the formation of future competencies aimed at the sustainable development of the region.

From 6 October we are pleased to announce the upcoming monitoring meeting within the CirculEC project.

The seminar will start at Karaganda University of Kazpotrebsoyuz, Kazakhstan, which will host over 50 guests on its site as the Leader of the current stage of the project. The events will then continue at Westminster International University in Tashkent and Central Asian University of Uzbekistan and will conclude at Tajik State Commerce University and Technological University of Tajikistan, in Dushanbe.

During the meeting, the CirculEC project partners will monitor and evaluate the pilot implementation of new educational modules, disciplines and teaching materials at the level of:

  • bachelor's degree,
  • master's degree,
  • lifelong learning (LLL).

The key feature of the event will be the participation of not only university representatives, but also teachers, university doctoral students who have previously completed advanced training courses, as well as stakeholders from Central Asia - representatives of business, NGOs and government agencies. Their expert opinion will allow for a comprehensive assessment of the results of introducing new disciplines and their compliance with the needs of the labor market and sustainable development.

The results obtained will form the basis for the preparation of a comprehensive pilot report on the integration of circular economy and sustainable development modules into the educational systems of Central Asia. This event will be an important step in strengthening academic cooperation and the formation of a new generation of specialists capable of solving the problems of green transformation and sustainable growth of the region.
