"The use of modern technologies in the robotization of the agricultural sector makes it possible to move to new cost-effective models in the production.The most important goal of agricultural sector in regions, as well as agro-industrial complex as a whole, is the energy saving insurance, the development of modern agricultural technologies and equipment, which allow the use of modern resource-saving technologies. Based on this analysis, industry needed complex specialists with expertise in agricultural machinery,mechatronics, biotechnology, information technology, environmental engineering.Until now, most Russian and Iranian universities failed to adapt their education to employer’s new needs and, consequently, there is a mismatch between the available training and professional competences. Our project will promote cooperation between EU, Russia and Iran in the field of agro engineering; will enhance the integration of RU and IR in global education market; will integrate the main EU expert knowledge in the RU&IR education and will create a sustainable network between universities in the field of agro engineering. Specific objectives are: 1. To develop new curriculum of the master program ""Agromechatronics"";2. To establish multinational cooperation network by development web-based educational network;3. To enhance innovation capacities by updating facility in PP universities for gaining practical skills;4. To establish virtual summer school ""Sustainable Agriculture"" among Partner Universities.It would impact rural area population by means of offered courses and virtual summer school. Our project is also intended to solve the problem of easily comparable academic degrees between EU, Russia and Iran, ensuring comparability programs of the higher education and the awarded diplomas/degrees."

"The project ""Developing Master Programmes in Mobile Applications and Game Design"" (MAGnUS) is aimed at enhancing IT graduates employability and quality of IT education at RU and AZ universities through introducing an interdisciplinary Master programmes in line with the Bologna provisions. The specific project objectives are: To develop new interdisciplinary high-quality multi-track Master program in Mobile applications and Game design in line with Bologna provisions and while adapting the EU best practice;• To upgrade the teaching staff skills in T• To set up student labs;The main project outputs are: Master programme in Mobile Applications and Game Design delivered at 6 RU and AZ universities; teachers possessing the-state-of-the art T&A methods; 6 student design labs set up at partner universities; pilot mobility schemes tested within the project; two summer schools conducted in partner countries, joint student projects in relevant fields. The Master programme will have two tracks and will consist of 6 modules and Master thesis defence. The project objectives will be achieved through the implementation of six work packages. During the preparation phase the main project policies and plans will be devised and analysis of key employers' needs conducted. During the development phase main outputs are to be produced. Training of teachers will be done through the cascade model: first, the train the trainer program will be introduced for a small number of qualified teachers; then the trained trainers will transfer the skills to a wider circle of academics. The student labs will serve as a link to partnerships with business partners which will be involved in project activities as associated partners. All project outputs will be evaluated through peer reviews, business partners' evaluation reports, student and trainees' satisfaction survey. MAGnUS will provide dissemination of the outputs through various measures."

The main PICASP objectives are connected to the enforcment of University-Enterprise Cooperation trough the involvment of the Business Community and particularly SMEs Entrepreneurs and Managers in the development and diffusion of new teaching methodologies including Practice Enterprise and MOOCs; Developing courses in Entrepreneurship and SME Management; Enhancing the exchanging of best practices with EU partners through mobility of academic and technical staff; Enforcing stakeholders’ involvement in curriculum development and graduates placement; Establishing Standards and Providing Quality assurance in didactics and sustainability.The network of universities in this project will support the implementation of Pilot Courses in HEI Project Partners verifying the sustainability and the possibilities for implementation in other partner countries. This will be positive not only in the field of Economic Activities but more generally among the partners how to design higher education, according to UE Standards. Furthermore, it will have a positive impact in the perspectives, for the Caspian Area, trigged by policies to implement Sustainable Development related to the Silky Road.
