The overall aim of the project was to support the modernisation of Curricula in Health Sciences at Kazakh and Uzbek universities by installing technical & didactic equipment, adapting, modernizing and restructuring courses in health sciences and bringing innovative teaching technologies into the training process. The curricula of eight courses were modernised by the partners.Inter-university working groups were established to work on the modernisation of the subjects, and the experience of European partners was used in the development of e-textbooks using multimedia materials. Technical and didactic equipment was purchased for developing and modernising the curricula. Special training seminars were also provided by the European university partners. Project results were published via conferences, web-pages, publications, national/international fairs, internet platforms, and other multiplier activities. The project outcomes were also disseminated to Partner Country higher education institutions not involved in the consortium.
Overall wider objective of the project is supporting public health in Uzbekistan by modernization of Curriculum of Health Sciences in universities of Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan and therefore following steps will be undertaken: adapting, modernizing, restructuring health sciences education, and bring innovative teaching technologies into training process as multimedia and audio-visual components; elaborating guidelines for application of generated outcomes; introducing new curricula into education process of PC universities and provide sustainability. Curricula of 7 courses will be modernized by project implementation units, which will be trained in EU partner-universities. During development and modernizing curricula, work groups will be provided with technical and didactic equipment. Efficiency of the project will be provided by organization and carrying out of special training-seminars, close cooperation of EU and PC partners and constant monitoring of activity by contractor and PC local coordinators. Management of the project is planned to be organized mostly by local - PC partner organizations to ensure good results and saving the budget by reducing number of mobilities. Dissemination activity is planned by organization of conferences, web-page publications; information on the results of the project will be published for achievement of effective dissemination. Both EU and PC organizations are involved in the process of Dissemination. Project outcomes would be multiplied and distributed to all PC universities, which were not in project implementation activities, providing capitalization of project results on a national scale. All the project equipment will be transferred to the balance of the PC partner universities for further operation and maintenance after the project period is over. Experience and technical means gained during the project realization will be good bases for sustainability of the project, which will be led and provided by universities of PC.
