PROJECT SUMMARY
Project summary (in English)
The presented project seeks to address the development and application of a modular system at the
master's level of higher education in Azerbaijan. The project presents a comparative analysis of the
traditional and modular approach, the principles and goals of modular education, its advantages for both
students and teachers, and for education managers. The literature on the development and project
management of modular learning materials was reviewed. These materials are used as the basis for the
development of the project. According to the developed model, project management should be
considered as a set of planning control methods that require systematic planning and control of time,
quality, information, organization. The module development process consists of the following steps:
developing a general description of the course; developing a course plan; production and testing of
written, audio-visual and software course materials, readers and test/exam tools, and alignment of
materials/course with learning support requirements; course project development; development of the
final version of the course; and publication and dissemination of training modules The available data
from World and EU universities indicate that modular learning meets the needs of today's learners more
adequately than traditional learning, both in terms of learning quality and content. Given its adaptability
to large student populations and its emphasis on individual learning, modular instruction has become
one of the most promising alternatives in higher education today. The project examines the
opportunities, conditions and the first experience of international standards implementation of module-
credit system in Azerbaijan higher education. Given and develop of the three options modules: a module
as part of the curriculum, a module as part of the individual disciplines, the module as a principle of
organization of educational process was given.
1. RELEVANCE
1.1 Background and general objectives
Background and general objectives

Please address all guiding points presented in the Call document/Programme Guide under the award criterion
‘Relevance’.
Describe the background and rationale of the project.
How is the project relevant to the scope of the call? How does the project address the general objectives of the call?
What is the project’s contribution to the priorities of the call (if applicable)?
The current system of higher education in Azerbaijan does not include a modular system in the curricula
of education, unlike the universities of the world and the EU. The proposed project is aimed at
restructuring and upgrading master studies at national level in the Azerbaijan in order to harmonize
them with; European standards, to promote internationalization, research cooperation, MS excellence
and employability. The use of a modular system in the curricula of most universities in the world is an
innovative teaching technology. It has long been viewed as an alternative to traditional teaching.
Training highly qualified personnel, increasing their competitiveness in accordance with the
requirements of the labour market, educating creatively thinking specialists are closely related to the
learning process established in the educational and methodological strategies of universities. The credit-
modular system, that is, the process of organizing learning, is an assessment model based on a
combination of modular learning technologies and credit measurement. Its implementation as a whole is
a multifaceted and complex systemic process. In the credit-modular principle, great importance is
attached to two main issues: ensuring the independent work of students; assessment of students'
4
knowledge based on the rating.

Recently, the Ministry of Education of Azerbaijan has been interested in the fact that in higher
educational institutions in many countries more and more attention is paid to a modular approach to
learning. The modular approach is a new trend in educational thinking that is changing the traditional
teaching method to a results-based learning paradigm. The modularity of education is based on the
principle of dividing the curriculum into small discrete modules. A module is an almost autonomous unit
of work in a course of study and a teaching method based on the formation of skills and knowledge in
discrete units. Students accumulate credits for modules that can lead to qualifications that require a
certain number of credits. Thus, a module is a course that, together with other related courses, can
constitute a specific area of specialization. A module is a group of courses that allow and provide an
understanding of a specific subject area. Curricula are assembled as a set of separate, autonomous and
coordinated learning units (modules). Each module is an independent, formally structured learning unit
with a consistent and clear set of learning outcomes and assessment criteria. Each module has a credit
value and undergraduate students usually study modules for a total of 60 credits per academic year.
Each module ends at the end of the semester (no later) with a course exam and subsequent credits.
This provides direct feedback on the student's progress.
A module is a complete unit with thematically defined outcomes, a defined workload (credit scores) and
clear assessment criteria. A module can consist of one or more courses and one or more exams (credits
and / or subject exams).
Modules in curricula enable students to develop and diversify their skill set for future employability and
can improve their career prospects. Most undergraduate and postgraduate study programs consist of
three types of modules: compulsory, elective, and research modules.
As a result of this approach, especially in the field of education, a bridge between universities and
educational institutions, industry could contribute to solving urgent and emerging problems in the field of
education at the master's level and solve the following tasks:
1. Sustainable training of specialists in this field of science and practice.
2. Organization of educational processes based on a new innovative system
3. Increasing the efficiency of research work
4. Evaluation of students' knowledge based on the rating score.
5. Create an opportunity for students to draw up their own curricula on an individual basis.
6. Increase the share of independent education in the educational process.
7. Convenience of educational programs and the possibility of changing due to the demand for a
specialist in the labour market.
As a result, the professional skills of specialists facing the above needs should be aimed at:
• development and management of practical solutions.
• solving educational problems, both at the practical and at the theoretical level
Benefits of modular learning

1. For students lie in their ability to offer flexibility, choice, accessibility and mobility.
2. Modular learning structures can be beneficial for universities as they potentially enable institutions to
respond to employer needs, expand student markets, develop more efficient use of resources, and
expand opportunities for expanding curriculum.
3. Students learn time management and planning. Students learn to value their time.
4. Modular learning teaches students about values, not specific lessons that are repeated.
5. More time for reflection. Starting a semester with fewer modules and then gradually increasing the
number of modules can help increase the learning curve in a healthy way.
6. Less pressure. By dividing the semester, students do not have to cram in all the information they have
learned over the past year, but they can easily generalize and memorize information, which reduces the
pressure on them.
7. Modular learning is a method used in education (and self-study) in which each student progresses
individually and is not required to follow a standard class pace or sequence.

1.2 Needs analysis and specific objectives
Needs analysis and specific objectives

Please address the specific conditions/objectives set out in the Call document/ Programme Guide, if applicable.
Describe how the objectives of the project are based on a sound needs analysis in line with the specific objectives of the call.
What issue/challenge/gap does the project aim to address? The objectives should be clear, measurable, realistic and achievable
within the duration of the project. For each objective, define appropriate indicators for measuring achievement (including a unit
of measurement, baseline value and target value).
The development of a modular curriculum as an educational process through which meeting the needs
of students leads to improved learning. When developing a modular curriculum, regardless of the theory
or model used, as much information as possible was collected. This information will include desired
outcomes or expectations for a high-quality program, the role of assessment, current student
achievement status, and actual program content. The information also takes into account the concerns
and attitudes of teachers, administrators and students.
The proposal specifically addresses the theme “Modernization of policies, governance and management
of higher education systems” and relevant Azerbaijani priorities category B (Bologna process type
reforms) and category C (Internationalization of HEls and Development of research and innovative
capacities). The link with these priorities can be clearly seen in the project objectives and its main
results? Including the establishment of master schools and collegium, the development of standards for
master education, a National Management Platform, a Guide for MS students and MS students”
association.
When designing a modular curriculum, it makes sense to conduct a needs assessment to best ascertain
the perceptions, concerns and desires of each of the stakeholders in the process. The key issues that
will affect curriculum development are:
• teachers may be dissatisfied with old content and methods in light of recent research.
• test scores may be declining or below expectations in some or all areas.
• teachers may not have the materials or may not know how to use the materials to improve
understanding.
• teachers may want to make greater use of technology to enhance learning.
• teachers and others may wish to relate the content of the program more closely to current issues and
issues.
• teachers can look for ways to increase the amount of interdisciplinary work in which students
participate.
• students may express a need for different and enriched learning opportunities.
The development of a modular curriculum includes a structured needs assessment to gather information
and guide the curriculum development process.
The information will usually be collected through surveys. This information includes structured
discussions and test data such as:
• teacher review of the existing curriculum to identify strengths, weaknesses, omissions and/or
problems.
• examples of lessons illustrating the implementation of the curriculum.
• assessment samples illustrating the implementation of the curriculum.
• identifying what teachers at each level of instruction see as the most critical issues in the curriculum.
• detailed analysis of state and local test data.
• suggestions for changes and improvements made in meetings with teachers, university advisors and
administrators.
Consequently, project DACMA is improving the quality of education and teaching (priority b) because it
is providing the Azerbaijani HEIs with the capacities to promote the quality of their research and to
develop high standards. Indeed, DACMA aims to support the development of the MS students’
professional skills in order to increase excellence and employability. It also contributes to improve the
management of Azerbaijani HEIs (priority c) through the internationalization of master studies, thus
leading to an increase in education collaborations. Besides, the set-up of national and international
conference days has been planned, while the consortium intends to discuss diploma recognition. As the
structuring of the Azerbaijani model is of prime importance, different models of master education were
presented for identifying the most suitable one. Finally, DACMA is developing the higher education
sector within society at large (priority d) by linking MS students with the wider social and economic and
social environment in Azerbaijan (HEIs, R&D structures, companies, industry etc.)
The specific objectives, which the project will achieve are:
6
• Building up a modular curriculum to deliver advanced course to increase professional skills of

master students in Azerbaijan
• Application of a new teaching methodological approach based on EU experiences
• Introduction of a specific modular curriculum for education course in education for the
modernization of the higher education system in AZ.
• Fostering the creation of a new skill in higher education for the students attending the
specialization courses
• Promoting internationalization by application of modern modular curriculum methodology
1.3 Complementarity with other actions and innovation — European added value
Complementarity with other actions and innovation

Explain how the project builds on the results of past activities carried out in the field, and describe its innovative
aspects (if any).
Explain how the activities are complementary to other activities carried out by other organisations (if applicable).
Illustrate the trans-national dimension of the project; its impact/interest in the EU area; possibility to use the results in
other countries, potential to develop /cross-border cooperation among Programme countries and Partner countries, if
applicable, etc.
If your proposal is based on the results of one or more previous or ongoing projects, please provide precise
references to these projects.
The evolution of master system in the Azerbaijan higher education toward a system having more
compliance with those of the European universities will facilitate and recognition master students. The
needs of the Azerbaijani institutions in term of modular curriculum studies restructuration have been
clearly identified by the main stakeholders of the master studies organization in Azerbaijan. The
expertise of the European universities is a strong asset, and the transfer of knowledge and experience is
targeted by the Azerbaijani HEIs and authorities (especially the Ministry of Higher education). The
“European Standards” will be developed within this project with an exchange of the European good
practices (the DACMA project gathers a wide European consortium). The model developed will highlight
the “internationalization of the master studies” that will allow the setup of future collaboration between
Azerbaijan and Europe. The development of such activities needs to have outside eyes for reaching
these challenges and could not be feasible through national, regional or local funding.
2. QUALITY
2.1 PROJECT DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION
2.1.1 Concept and methodology
Concept and methodology

Please address all guiding points presented in the Call document/Programme Guide under the award criterion ‘Quality of the
project design and implementation’.
Outline the approach and methodology behind the project. Explain why they are the most suitable for achieving the project’s
objectives.
The project consist of 9 work packages which leaders have been identified for each work package and
are closely linked. When activities imply a tight exchange of knowhow between Europe and Azerbaijan,
a lead organization from each part has been designed. All the activities will be conducted in parallel
with two objectives: reducing the costs and optimizing the time allocated to the project. This will be
possible as all the partners will participate to all the work packages.
The activities that will be developed are the following:
WP1
Firstly, the activities will be dedicated to the state of art on the organization of modular curriculum
studies in Europe and in Azerbaijan. Existing surveys will be used and supplemented to reach this
objective. A critical analysis of the results will permit to identify in detail the concrete measures to be
taken. This will be held during a joint meeting with WP2 and WP3.
7
WP2
Immediately after having identified the concrete measures to be taken, the consortium will start working
on how to adapt the European modular curriculum studies to the needs of HEIs in Azerbaijan.
Therefore, WP2 is dedicated to two crucial activities: structuring of master studies and organization of
the master Schools in a common higher structure.
Due to the importance of the issue, this work package will be developed along the two years of the
project. Meetings on this issue will gradually conduct to a proposition of the scheme that can be adopted
by Azerbaijan. Intermediary video conferences will ensure the follow up of the work.
WP3
The structuring of master Education will be efficient only if high-quality master studies are conducted.
The aim of this work package is to address some determining factors to reach high standards in master
education. Exchanges on commitment on quality recruitment (to link M and D), on quality of supervising
master studies, on quality to conduct master studies will lead to an agreement to address those issues.
A report will be dedicated to the cooperation between master school, research laboratories, faculties
and research institutions and on the integration between Research and Education: the European model
will serve as example.
WP 4 is dedicated to the improvement of the master student’s skills in order to improve excellence and
employability. To reach this objective, we propose to exchange on the possible actions and then to take
decisions on the model to be adopted by the HEIs in Azerbaijan. This work plan will be finalized at last
meeting with the aim of generating innovative ideas on how to build bridges between universities and
companies. To encourage excellence the setup of awards will be organized by HEIs in Azerbaijan.
WP5 concerns internationalization. All the aspect of international research in the frame of doctoral
studies will be addressed: set up of conference days, promotion of collaboration between Europe and
Azerbaijan through joint-supervision, and how to enhance mobility. A survey is being prepared on the
state of master studies’ internationalization.
WP 6: This WP will be dedicated to the Quality plan of the DACMA Project. A Quality charter will be
annexed to the Consortium Agreement, and it will be the base. An Evaluation committee composed by 3
consortium members has been already identified and the main activity of this committee will consist in
the monitoring of the yearly internal evaluation of the project (Quality tools and documents to be used for
the evaluation). An analysis of the results will be provided to the partner in the frame of a transnational
meeting (meeting organised in the frame of another WP). Every two months, this committee will
organise an online monitoring meeting with two WP leaders in order to have a continual view of the
project quality. The External evaluation of the project will (Quality evaluation) will be organized by this
committee.
WP7: An example of a management portal of master studies will be presented to the consortium and the
program country will decide on the tools to be acquired to set up a National Management Portal in
Azerbaijan. The training of managers of the portal is planned.
WP8 The dissemination and exploitation of the results will be made via (a) a practical guide designed
during the project; (b) the organization of dissemination days in Azerbaijan to go in contact of students
from HEIs not involved in the project.
WP9: This WP will concern the Management (day to day management) and the coordination of the
project. This will include the Financial issues aspects as well as Governance organisation within the
consortium. The project coordinator (BSU) will take the responsibility of this WP and a “Steering
Committee” will be appointed as second Management body of the project (3 partners will include this
committee). The several tools dedicated to the project management/communication will be developed in
this WP (Project website especially) and the management organisation (decision making process,
validation of report etc…) will be formalized by the signature of the Consortium Agreement by all the
Legal representatives of the consortium partners. The Reporting to the EACEA is also included in this
WP and the communication with the EACEA will be done by the project coordinator. The coordinator will
be also responsible for providing to the EACEA all technical, administrative, financial and legal issues.
The Kick-off meeting and closure meeting is also included in this WP.
2.1.2 Project management, quality assurance and monitoring and evaluation strategy
Project management, quality assurance and monitoring and evaluation strategy

Describe the measures foreseen to ensure that the project implementation is of high quality and
8
completed in time.
Describe the methods to ensure good quality, monitoring, planning and control.
Describe the evaluation methods and indicators (quantitative and qualitative) to monitor and verify the
outreach and coverage of the activities and results (including unit of measurement, baseline and target
values). The indicators proposed to measure progress should be relevant, realistic and measurable.
The role and responsibilities of the partners have been decided before the project submission. Only the
Steering Committee will be discussed and elected during the Kick-off Meeting. This Committee will
include 3 partners (1 European HEI and 2 Partner country HEIs) in order to propose a balanced
repartition of the governance within the “management team”.
The project coordinator (BSU) is responsible of the grant and will directly be in contact with the EACEA
on behalf of the project partners. DACMA project involving 5 partners with ambitious objectives, we have
considered as important to give a high level of involvement and responsibility to all the partners and
particularly in Azerbaijan. Therefore, each WP has one or two responsible that coordinate the planned
activities. In case of dysfunction of the WP management, the WP leader will have to contact the project
management board (Project coordinator + Steering Committee) that will refer to the Consortium
Agreement and the EACEA rules.
The structuration of the project management will be framed by the Consortium Agreement signed by the
legal representatives of all the partners. This document will be first discussed during the Kick-off
meeting and then negotiated by the project partner. The content of this contractual document will include
the following items:
-Financial management of the grant
-Intellectual Property issue
-Decision Making Process
-Measure put in place for the resolution of conflict
-Formalization of the WP leaders
-Formalization of the management structure
-Commitment to the Quality plan
Moreover, this document will allow ensuring the ownership of the project and it will be provided the
EACEA as soon as the coordinator get all the signature and before the 6th month of the project.
The Project management also includes the reports to the EACEA. This activity will be the responsibility
of the coordinating institution that will write this report in cooperation with the partners through a
questionnaire. Once the coordinator will receive the feedback of the EACEA, an analysis report will be
presented to the partners during a transnational meeting.
The other tasks and activities dedicated to the project management are linked to the organisation of the
Kick-off and closure meetings, the day-to-day management (Scientific coordination and administrative
management) and the setting up of the project website.
The allocation of resources linked to the project management has been done according to the role of
each partner in the project. The Project coordinator will take in charge the day-to-day management in an
administrative point of view; therefore, a full time Staff (Administrative category) has been budgeted.
The WP leaders will have some coordination activities that have been foreseen in the category
“Manager”. The division of tasks between the partners has been planned according to the competences
of each of them. Their complementarity is also a key aspect that we want to highlight in the
management of the project. Indeed, some WPs are leaded by two partners (1 programme country
partner + 1 partner country partner) and it is due to their complementarity and their level of existing
cooperation. This strategy will allow the project to avoid some management problem and to respect the
project calendar.

2.1.4 Cost effectiveness and financial management
Cost effectiveness and financial management (n/a for prefixed Lump Sum Grants)
Describe the measures adopted to ensure that the proposed results and objectives will be achieved in the most cost-effective way.
Indicate the arrangements adopted for the financial management of the project and, in particular, how the financial resources
will be allocated and managed within the consortium.
Do NOT compare and justify the costs of each work package, but summarize briefly why your budget is cost effective.
Regarding this aspect, the budget has been calculated in the most economical way. 6 meetings will be
organized during the project. 4 of them will take place in Azerbaijan for economic reasons. The budget
allocation per work package is the following:
Preparation: This WP being the first and the shortest WP, only 1 meeting will be dedicated on the results
analysis on the several surveys in Europe and in Azerbaijan
Structuring of modular master education: 2 meetings will be organized and will take place in Baku. Most
of the partners being located in Baku, it allows a real economy in term of budget.
Quality: For economic reasons, every 3 months online meetings are foreseen for the “Evaluation
Committee”. The several results will be detailed in the frame of other meeting (in October 2016 in
Heidelberg, in October 2017 in Masaryk and in October 2018 in Montpellier).
Dissemination exploitation: 2 meeting will be organized (1 of them in Azerbaijan 1for the same reasons
as explained above). For reducing the budget costs, it has been decided to involve only 1 staff per
partner for most of these meetings. Regarding the WP7.3 (Training for the Portal management), only
two Programme country partners will travel in Azerbaijan for the training organization. The same case is
concerning the WP8.3 (Dissemination days), organized by X.
Management: Only two meetings will be organized in the frame of the Management WP (Kick-off
meeting and Closure meeting). The project coordinator will host these two meetings.
Still in the idea to ensure a budget distribution in an economical way, some meetings will be dedicated
to different type of WP.
In term of Staff costs, most of them are dedicated to the categories “Teacher/Trainer/Researcher” and
“Administrative”. Some Technical Staffs have been budgeted for the “Platform activity” (WP7) and some
days of “Manager” are planned especially for the project coordinator. Each WP responsible will have a
superior amount of Staff days linked to the management and coordination of the activities in the WP.
The Project coordinator is in charge of the administrative management of the grant, therefore a full time
Staff will be dedicated to this aspect and have been budgeted.
The equipment budgeted correspond to the needs of the Azerbaijani institutions for the project results
achievement. The Platform management requires informatics equipment and software that have been
budgeted for each HEI in Azerbaijan. The online meeting requires also technical material foreseen in the
budget as well.
The financial management of the consortium will be supported by the Project coordinator institution. The
BSU will work closely with all the partners in order to guarantee the progress and quality of the project.
Also, the BSU will ensure the observation of programme regulations and will support all partners in
financial matters. The management tools (WP9) will be used for this financial organization of the project
(recording and documentation) and the coordinator will realize the cash flows between all partners
based on the Grant Agreement signed with the EACEA.
All the project partners have been consulted for the co-financing aspect and the main funding support
bring by the partners are linked to: Staff Costs/Printing documents/Overhead. The global amount of co-
financing is around 10% of the project budget.

2.1.5 Risk management
Critical risks and risk management strategy

Describe critical risks, uncertainties or difficulties related to the implementation of your project, and your measures/strategy for
addressing them.
Indicate for each risk (in the description) the impact and the likelihood that the risk will materialise (high, medium, low), even
after taking account the mitigating measures.
Note: Uncertainties and unexpected events occur in all organisations, even if very well-run. The risk analysis will help
you to predict issues that could delay or hinder project activities. A good risk management strategy is essential for
good project management.

2.2 PARTNERSHIP AND COOPERATION ARRANGEMENTS
2.2.1 Consortium set-up
Consortium cooperation and division of roles (if applicable)

Please address all guiding points presented in the Call document/Programme Guide under the award
criterion ‘Quality of the partnership and the cooperation arrangements.
Describe the participants (Beneficiaries, Affiliated Entities, Associated Partners and others, if any) and
explain how they will work together to implement the project. How will they bring together the necessary
expertise? How will they complement each other?
In what way does each of the participants contribute to the project? Show that each has a valid role and
adequate resources to fulfil that role.
The project partners have been selected for their experience in the domain covered by the project
concerning the EU part (master studies) and for the needs as well as their potential in implementation of
the decisions concerning the Azerbaijan part. Perfect and clear communication between the partners is
very important for the successful implementation of the project. Relationships will be developed as
outlined in WP8. Internal communication between the partners will be carried out through management
tools. The project coordinator will present these tools during a meeting at Baku State University, and
one of them will be a sharing platform on the project website. The partners, especially ISAG and
Eskisehir University, have extensive experience in applying new methods in education. They will play an
important role in the development of the idea of the project, the development and implementation of
modular system curricula at the master's level.The coordinator Baku State University (BSU) has
participated in many EU projects for Education (Erasmus Mundus, Tempus, Intra ACP…) partner.
Moreover, BSU is a comprehensive and intensive education and resaerch university with 30 research
labs and 3 İnstitution joined to the most important Azerbaijan research organizations and 600 master
students. Thus, BSU has developed for many decades a coherent policy regarding master and doctoral
studies with a strong commitment for human resources excellence in the framework of the “European
Charter for Researchers”. The person responsible for each Work Package will also play a key role in
communication between the partners, as they will coordinate a range of activities under the WP. In the
event of a communication problem, they will be able to act in accordance with the Consortium
Agreement and EACEA rules and contact the project coordinator. Also, the number of meetings and
their frequency (in addition to online meetings) will ensure a high level of cooperation between the
partners throughout the project.Balanced consortium will allow us to have an impact within Azerbaijan
thanks to experienced universities from the Programme country. Georgian Technical University (GTU)
üill participate as partners to strength the European expertise of master studies in the field of natural and
social sciences.
2.2.2 Consortium management and decision-making
Consortium management and decision-making (if applicable)

Explain the management structures and decision-making mechanisms within the consortium. Describe
how decisions will be taken and how regular and effective communication will be ensured. Describe
methods to ensure planning and control.
Note: The concept (including organisational structure and decision-making mechanisms) must be
26
adapted to the complexity and scale of the project.
A “Steering Committee” will be appointed democratically during the Kick-Off meeting (3 project partners:
1HEI from Programme Country and 2 HEIs from Partner countries). The members of this committee will
help the project coordinator in the communication aspects indicated above with an automatic validation
by all the consortium members.
The responsible of each Work Package will also have a key role regarding the communication between
the partners as they will coordinate the several actions foreseen within the WP. In case of
communication problem, they will be able to refer to the Steering Committee and the project coordinator
who will be able to act according to the consortium Agreement and the EACEA rules.
Also, the number of meetings as well as their frequency (in addition to the online meetings) will allow
insuring a high level of cooperation between the partners during the whole project lifetime.
3. IMPACT
3.1 Impact and ambition
Impact and ambition

Please address each guiding points presented in the Call document/Programme Guide under the award
criterion ‘Impact’.
Define the expected short, medium and long-term effects of the project. Who are the target groups?
How will the target groups benefit concretely from the project and what would change for them?
The DACMA project will have an impact on modernization of master education, research and
internationalization of HEIs in Azerbaijan. The consortium will achieve the objectives by restructuring
the master education through actions that will be set up gradually during the lifetime of the project: (a)
the organisation of master schools within the HEIS and at the National level, (b) insuring high standards
in master education, (c) improving internationalization. A standardisation and modernization of master
education will lead to a better recognition from Europe of the quality of research provided by the HEIs
and research institutions of Azerbaijan. Therefore, an enhance in collaboration between Europe and
Azerbaijan is predictable before the completion of the project. As well, a greater ease of international
mobility for master students, young researchers and staff should be reached. On a national level, the
master students should enhance their professional skills to meet the needs of the local, regional and
national markets. Again, those actions should be built up progressively and the first impacts should be
visible before the completion of the project.
To improve the quality of higher education in Azerbaijan to fit to european standards, the insitutions will
have to adapt the way they operate in combining European standards to their present competencies.
The DACMA project will work on the combinaison of expertises to bring to the desired results:
modernisation of higher education. The impact will be felt during the development of the project trrough
concrete actions: improvement of professionnal skills, improvement of master education management,
internationalization, set up of a National Management Portal , organization of master schools and reach
all the target groups: MS students, young researchers, staff, HEIs and instutions.
This project intends to answer to the urgent need for Azerbaijan universities to revise the rules and
content of organizing master studies within Bologna process documents in terms of their consistency,
especially on ensuring science and research provisions in relevance with European standards, to fulfil
the students' mobility and internationalization of education. We can expect to forge closer relations
between HEIs from Europe and Azerbaijan. The relations will be consolidated in term of education and
development agreements, exchanges of students and staff, employability, and will have an economic
and social impact. The modernization of research and therefore the better understanding between
countries will permit to enhance economical exchanges based on natural resources and expertise.
3.2 Communication, dissemination and visibility
Communication, dissemination and visibility of funding

Describe the communication and dissemination activities which are planned in order to promote the
activities/results and maximise the impact (to whom, which format, how many, etc.). Clarify how you will
reach the target groups, relevant stakeholders, policymakers and the general public and explain the
choice of the dissemination channels.
27
Describe how the visibility of EU funding will be ensured.
The communication is an important key for the success of this project and this aspect is mainly
developed within the WP8. The internal communication between the partners will be done through
several management tools described in WP9. The project coordinator will introduce these tools during
the Kick-off meeting in Baku and one of them will be a sharing platform within the project website. This
platform will facilitate the information and document transmission within the partnership (Meeting
reports/template like Timesheet). Email will be of course used for communication, but the idea would be
to implement this platform as only way of document sharing. Therefore, a specific attention will be given
on the selection of this platform (security purpose especially) and the project coordinator will be
responsible on it.
Keys actions are devoted to dissemination:
- Firstly, a web-site for the project will ensure dissemination of the results to the local, regional, national
and international community.
- Secondly, we propose the design of a practical guide to the attention of all the target groups: students,
young researchers, staffs within the HEIs and research institutions. This guide will gather all the
necessary information to start a pHD: how to develop the thesis project in Azerbaijan or in Europe, what
are the possible fundings, what are the administrative steps, how to register in the National
Management Portal, what are the requirements to complete the thesis, etc…This guide is an effective
tool to insure the dissemination of the information to the target groups. This guide will be available on
the project’s website and on the National Management platform.
- Thirdly, the project proposes also to organize dissemination days to inform about the project in HEIs in
Azerbaijan to reach target groups of HEIs that were not involved in the consortium.
Then, the creation of a PhD students’ association will insure the communication between students,
year-to-year.
Due to the involvement of all the partners in each work package, in each action, each partner of the
consortium has the responsibility to insure dissemination of the project and the results within its
institution and outside its institution, via internal and external communication. This organization will
assure also the exploitation of the results within each HEIs in Azerbaijan to remain a competitive
presence in higher education.
Additionnally, the presence in the consortium of the Ministery of Education of the Republic of Azerbaijan
and the Azerbaijan National Academy of Sciences will have the necessary impact at the National level
to adopt the modernization of Doctoral Education in the country.
3.3 Sustainability and continuation
Sustainability, long-term impact and continuation

Describe the follow-up of the project after the EU funding ends. How will the project impact be ensured
and sustained?
What will need to be done? Which parts of the project should be continued or maintained? How will this
be achieved? Which resources will be necessary to continue the project? How will the results be used?
Are there any possible synergies/complementarities with other (EU funded) activities that can build on
the project results?
The sustainability will come from the structuring of the master schools and the organization of the
master schools within a higher structure. Then, within those structures, the project will have a strong
impact on higher education through sharing of expertise and exchanges of know-how across the
countries. Master studies, their principles, administrative issues, rights and duties of students, financial
regulations and international relations in the sphere of organizing and content of this cycle of education
will be updated to fit to international standards. As all the decisions will be made through consensus-
building, the results will be adopted by all HEIs, and it will be their own responsibility to remain
competitive in higher education. To work in a concerted manner and with recognized expertise will end
to the enrichment of knowledge and innovation and will benefit Azerbaijan and will ensure sustainability.
A standardisation and modernization of master education will lead to a better recognition by Europe of
the quality of research provided by the HEIs and research institutions of Azerbaijan. Upgrading
relationships in higher education between Europe and Azerbaijan will improve research cooperation and
economic development between the countries. Additionally, the presence in the consortium of the
Ministry of Education of the Republic of Azerbaijan will have the necessary impact at the National level
to adopt the modernization of master education in the country and will insure sustainability.

4.1 Work plan
Work plan
Provide a brief description of the overall structure of the work plan (list of work packages or graphical presentation (Pert chart or similar)).
DACMA is progressing according to its work program and timetable. At this stage, all 9 Work packages (WP) have been started.
WP 1 Preparation:
Partners from the EU will prepare modular master’s programs with an overview such as those of European Universities issued by the latter. Azerbaijani partners will prepare
a report on the program and training of masters in national universities. The results will be presented at a meeting in Baku and there will be a comparative analysis.
WP 2 Structuring of modular master education:
This WP will always be in development. Based on the comprehensive research of WP1, all partners will be presented with the different models of Masters used in Europe in
meetings to determine the most appropriate model for structuring the Masters in Azerbaijan by the project deadline of the first half of the first year.
WP 3 High standards in master education:
In order to address the factors that determine the achievement of high-quality Masters, meeting 2 in Porto will initiate a discussion on ways to raise high standards, as well as
links between higher education and research (WP 3.1). This will continue at meeting 3 in Italy with a proposal to create a modular curriculum that defines the rights and
obligations of undergraduates and their supervisors (WP3.2).
WP 4 Professional skills:
The first analysis of how to improve the professional skills of undergraduates to develop innovative experiences and employment opportunities will implemented at meetings.
This work plan will be finalized at last meeting with the aim of generating innovative ideas on how to build bridges between universities and companies.
WP 5 Internationalization:
It will be formally introduced during meeting 2 XXXXX and meeting 3 XXXXXX, thus exploring the possibility to increase the international visibility of Azerbaijani HEIs through
conference days (5.1). Needs in international databases will be identified and will be addressed with the purchase of equipment. A survey is being prepared on the state of
master studies’ internationalization (5.3).
*WP 6 Quality Plan:
The principles of a Quality Charter will be agreed and shared with all partners (6.1). The project will constantly be assessed internally during/after each meeting through
online or paper surveys, and annual evaluations (6.2). A final audit will be carried out by an external firm by October 2024 (6.3). Regularly, evaluation exchanges will organize
(6.4).
WP 7 Exploitation of the results - National Management Portal:

4.2 Work packages and activities
WORK PACKAGES
This section concerns a detailed description of the project activities.

Group your activities into work packages. A work package means a major sub-division of the project. For each work package, enter an objective (expected outcome) and
list the activities, milestones and deliverables that belong to it. The grouping should be logical and guided by identifiable deliverables/outputs.
Projects should normally have a minimum of 2 work packages. WP1 should cover the management and coordination activities (meetings, coordination, project monitoring and
evaluation, financial management, progress reports, etc.) and all the activities which are cross-cutting and therefore difficult to assign to another specific work package (do not
try splitting these activities across different work packages). WP2 and further WPs should be used for the other project activities. You can create as many work packages as
needed by copying WP1. The last WP should be dedicated to Impact and dissemination
Please refer to the Call document/Programme Guide for specific requirements concerning the number and the typology of work packages.
Work packages covering financial support to third parties ( only allowed if authorised in the Call document/Programme Guide) must describe the conditions for
implementing the support (for grants: max amounts per third party; criteria for calculating the exact amounts, types of activity that qualify (closed list), persons/categories of
persons to be supported and criteria and procedures for giving support; for prizes: eligibility and award criteria, amount of the prize and payment arrangements).
Enter each activity/milestone/output/outcome/deliverable only once (under one work package).

4.4 Subcontracting
Subcontracting
Give details on subcontracted project tasks (if any) and explain the reasons why (as opposed to direct implementation by the Beneficiaries/Affiliated Entities).
Subcontracting — Subcontracting means the implementation of ‘action tasks’, i.e. specific tasks which are part of the EU grant and are described in Annex 1 of the Grant
Agreement.
Note: Subcontracting concerns the outsourcing of a part of the project to a party outside the consortium. It is not simply about purchasing goods or services. We normally
expect that the participants to have sufficient operational capacity to implement the project activities themselves. Subcontracting should therefore be exceptional.
Include only subcontracts that comply with the rules (i.e. best value for money and no conflict of interest; no subcontracting of project coordination tasks).
