On 6 December 2016 Zagreb Tempus team and Voronezh Tempus team took part in the international information and methodological seminar “Capacity building in the field of Higher Education” in the framework of Erasmus Plus programme.
The seminar took part at Bauman Technical University, Moscow, Russia, and was organised by National Erasmus Plus Office Russia. The seminar gathered Mr. Michel de Martino, Officer for Economic Affairs in the EU Delegation in Russia, Mr. José Aurelio Llaneza Villanueva, Attache, Embassy of Spain in Russia, Mrs Olga Oleynikova, Head of the National Erasmus+ Office in Russia as well as representatives of several Russian academic institutions.

The seminar was a chance for group work, presentation of achieved results of ongoing EU funded projects and venue for discussion on state of play of current projects. The seminar was a perfect venue for individual consultation meetings on prospects of future collaboration between EU and Russian universities in EU funded projects. NEO Russia and Bauman Technical University also organised workshop on developing Logical Framework Matrix, important component of every project proposal.

​On behalf of the Tempus consortium Prof Horak presented the achievements of InterEULawEast Project, from the outset until the recent outputs – EU law textbook. In addition to afore-mentioned, Zagreb team presented and promoted the InterEULawEast Journal and our new EU funded European Documentation Centre – potential platform for collaboration between Russian and Croatian university libraries. Presentation was followed by several questions, mostly concerning our experience in dissemination of Project results. We are particulary proud that our Project received several compliments by Mrs Oleynikova and the attendees. This encourages us to be even better  – and to apply for the new 2017 call for proposals!

5-7 July 2016 the Voronezh State University hosted an international scientific conference “European identity and political challenges: old сoncept, new vision». It served for a discussion on the phenomenon of large European identity by experts from major Universities and research institutions of the EU.
The Conference gathered leading experts in the field of European studies, international relations, political science, international law, sociology and history of the largest universities and research EU institutions: Catholic University of Leuven (Belgium), University of Birmingham (UK), University of Seville (Spain), the Institute of Political Science, Bordeaux (France), University of Budapest (Hungary), National University “Odessa law Academy” (Odessa, Ukraine), National Institute of economic research of the Academy of Sciences of Moldova, etc.
The conference was attended by leading Russian scientists from almost all regions of Russia – from Tomsk to Kaliningrad and from St. Petersburg to Simferopol.
During the conference Associate Professor of the Voronezh State University Dmitriy Galushko on behalf of the InterEuLawEast Consortium made a presentation about our Tempus Project, its aims, actions, results and outputs. A newly prepared textbook on EU law attracted particular attention of the participants of the Conference.

The Final International Conference was organized to guarantee high potential and disseminate the project deliverables at institutional, national and international level.  Researchers from co-beneficiary institutions gathered at Faculty of Law, University of Maribor, Slovenia to share and exchange their achievements made within InterEULawEast Tempus Project as contribution to the Bologna process.

Professors Hana Horak, Pavel Biriukov and Viacheslav Tuliakov introduced the public to several academic deliverables prepared within the Project: the Glossary of Legal Terminology, Textbook: Law of the European Union and Didactical Manuals.

The idea of the Conference was to discuss the outcomes of the Project and how the Project has contributed to the HEA and implementation of the Best Bologna standards in terms of raising awareness of EU law in PCs, introducing best teaching practices, new academic journal, promoting student mobility and international academic cooperation, citation rules etc.

Once again the Conference was great opportunity for enhancing academic mobility and dissemination of knowledge in order to reach the goals of the project.  Special thanks go to our Russian and Ukrainian partners for their great efforts in preparing project outputs which will serve as solid basis for further, enhanced studies in EU law at co-beneficiaries.

During conference days two important tasks were achieved. Faculty of Law, University of Maribor and Donetsk National University (Vinnitsa) signed memorandum of Understanding. The conference days were also an opportunity for preparation of new memorandum of understanding between Faculty of Law, University of Maribor and National University Odessa Law Academy. It is expected that the procedure will last until autumn.

Together with the Conference, the consortium held 6th Project Coordination Meeting. Project consortium discussed several important topics: sustainability of the Journal, audit procedure and forms of future cooperation. Minutes from the meeting will be published here.

Thank You once more for making this Conference comes true!
