The European Commission has announced that it will allocate almost 47 Million Euros to support higher education projects in the European Neighborhood countries and Russia under the Tempus program.
Funded projects are meant to improve teaching, learning methods, and teaching material, as well as improve quality assurance and management of higher education institutions in the partner countries. The funding will also assist networking and joint projects and programmes.
