European University is the winner of the Erasmus+ CBHE program (Erasmus+ Capacity Building in Higher Education).
With the financial support of the European Union, European University will implement the project “Development of Veterinary Faculties at Georgian HEIs to Create a New Pool of Young Veterinary Professionals in Georgia” (VETPRO, ERASMUS-EDU-2022-CBHE-STRAND 1-101082479), which aims at developing the field of veterinary medicine in Georgia.
In order to reach the aforementioned goal, the project encompasses objectives such as: expanding collaboration with and between the existing veterinary laboratories/clinics in Georgia and EU countries; training professors in accordance with the European Union requirements and standards; establishing partnerships between higher education institutions, private and public sectors, and so forth.
The project is of an international character and foresees the cooperation of both foreign and local universities under the leadership of the European University. More precisely, the international project consortium consists of 5 universities from 3 different countries. These are European University (Georgia); Samtskhe-Javakheti State University (Georgia); Shota Meskhia State Teaching University of Zugdidi (Georgia); Estonian University of Life Sciences (Estonia); Latvia University of Life Sciences and Technologies (Latvia).
CBHE projects are mainly aimed at supporting the reform of the higher education system, institutional collaboration and exchange of practices/experience among peers.
