Erasmus+ 2014-2020: Central Asia and Russia 

Did you know that Central Asia (2019) has a population of about 72 million, consisting of five republics: Kazakhstan (pop. 18 million), Kyrgyzstan (6 million), Tajikistan (9 million), Turkmenistan (6 million), and Uzbekistan (33 million)? We are sure that you know that Russia has a population of 146 million people and is the biggest country in the world.

Education is a binding force in Central Asia and Russia. The participation of these countries in the Erasmus+ program is dynamic, and the interest of higher education institutions from the above-mentioned countries is always growing, and it is confirmed by our statistics - 100 projects have been funded in Central Asia and 69 projects in Russia, in the period between 2015 and 2020. It accounts for 169 projects in total! The total number of HEIs involved in Central Asia in the six CBHE calls is 169, and 126 for the Russian Federation.

In the period between 2015 and2020, Central Asian countries had a budget of € 59,463 million, representing 7,25% of the annual global budget for CBHE projects, whereas the Russian Federation had a total budget of € 33.674.759,32 million, representing around 5% of the annual global budget for CBHE projects. 

These projects are making changes in the higher education sector and we are proud that such projects have strengthened cooperation between EU and HEIs in Central Asia and Russian. These non-EU partners have gained valuable experience in handling international projects, in establishing or consolidating the relevant procedures and structures, as well as in developing new teaching and research methods, curricula, and joint activities through academic staff exchanges. 

Wow! Are you impressed? And the good news is that you are now joining these statistics and you are now part of our Erasmus+ family!

• National qualification frameworks and educational / occupational standards 
• Strengthening the relations between higher education and the wider economic and social environment 

How to make your project more effective and sustainable? 

Even though you are just starting your project, don't forget about impact and sustainability!!! 

For bigger impact and sustainability, and in addition to the activities you proposed in your project application, please focus on networking with stakeholders, proper dissemination and visibility of the project, coherence with local higher education agendas and, of course, human resources at different levels. 

Here are some tips for you on dissemination!!! Please make sure that there is/are dissemination and sustainability/exploitation strategy/ies based on the application text that have been fine-tuned to the actual project implementation context. In terms of the project website, ensure that the website is effective in achieving its aim of promoting the project and attracting prospective users of its deliverables. 

Please remember that Erasmus+ in Central Asia and Russia has a history and is rich in experience; therefore, ask for advice or support from other projects or NEOs in your country!

How can NEO help you to support your project? 

Please study what a NEO does and what is its role: 

A National Erasmus+ office (NEO) is, first of all, a legal entity and a non-commercial organization, which receives funding from the EU, and has grant agreement with EACEA (the same as you).

The overall mission of a NEO is to improve visibility, relevance, effectiveness and impact of the Erasmus+ programme and contribute to its promotion and dissemination in relevant countries. The NEO works for the benefit of all actors: potential applicants, beneficiaries, and other stakeholders, as regards the internationalization of higher education in line with the aims and objectives of the Erasmus+ programme. To this end, the NEO supports, promotes, monitors, and disseminates activities related to the international dimension of the Erasmus+ Programme.

NEO can provide support for you in the following activities: 

• Information and promotional activities
• Advisory support to projects
• Monitoring of projects 
• Support to the team of Higher Education Reform Experts (HEREs)
• Cooperation with stakeholders in the education sector (Ministries of education, EU delegations, international organizations, etc.). 

Main topic

What is a NEO?

The National Erasmus+ Offices have been established in Partner Countries to assist the Commission, the EACEA, the EU Delegations and the authorities in the Partner Countries in the implementation of the international higher education dimension of the Erasmus+ programme. 

The NEOs provide advisory support and consultation to project representatives on issues related to the rules of the E+ Programme, project /financial management, visa issues, TAX exemption, etc.   Another NEO's opportunity is to help find and establish contacts for future projects, support networking between the projects, and liaise with national authorities and international organizations working in higher education.  

The NEO contributes to the dissemination of information about results of on-going projects selected under the Erasmus+ Programme during Roundtables, international/local events, and cluster meetings, as well as sharing information on project results and best practises using our dissemination channels, such as: websites, social networks, and the IRO network. Besides, NEOs provide the EU Delegations and Ministry of Education and Science with information on the performance of Erasmus+ projects in higher education involving organisations from partner countries, and provide updated information about the higher education sector.

Field monitoring is a major task of the NEOs. According to the annual plan, NEOs carry out project monitoring visits on behalf of EACEA. Some of these visits will be implemented jointly with the Agency. During monitoring visits, NEOs follow three objectives:

• to assess the level and quality of project implementation.
• to help increase the relevance, impact and sustainability of the project results in their country. After monitoring visits, NEOs send reports to EACEA and project coordinators.
• to find the best practices and help disseminate project results.

NEOs support the activity of HEREs. Higher Education Reform Experts (HEREs) are nominated by Ministries of education in each partner country, and are representatives of higher education institutions, independent experts, etc. You can request help or advice from HEREs on the promotion of structural reforms or regulations at national level, or system levels, or get advice on some aspects of higher education modernization. 

At the national level, HEREs participate in the development of policy and reforms deriving from the Lisbon and Bologna agenda in their countries. They are also invited to devise Lisbon or Bologna development strategies with non-academic bodies such as industrial, cultural or social organizations, as long as they are in line with national strategies.

At the institutional level, Higher Education Reform Experts work on counseling and advising higher education institutions with regard to the introduction and implementation of the national and institutional Lisbon and Bologna strategy. 

You are welcome to get help from HEREs, as well!!!

Background info 

How can a NEO help you? 

Remember that NEOs can be useful for your project not only during the project application, but also during the implementation phase! 

Promotion and dissemination activities 

You can increase and improve the coverage of your dissemination and visibility activity, if you provide the NEO with updates on your project events and products. 

The objectives of dissemination are to increase the visibility of your project outputs/impact, and to increase synergies between EU projects/programmes and projects on development from partners working in higher education. NEOs have constant communications with different stakeholders, and it can be helpful for you to deliver your information to the relevant recipients. 

To improve the visibility of your project results, we recommend these ways of dissemination: 

• Share information about your project at international events
• Share information about project at local events
• Share your activities on NEOs’ social networks 
• Disseminate through exhibitions organized by NEO

We recommend three types of dissemination tools: 

Online tools:

• A project website 
• Information on partner university websites
• Social media
• Live-streams
• EACEA platform for project results

Offline tools:

• Publications 
• Factsheets
• Leaflets and brochures
• Press-release
• Presentations on EU Days
• Networking, meetings, and events
• Roundtables
• Exhibitions
• Project meetings
• Conferences
• Information days

Don’t forget to invite NEOs to your events!!!

Dissemination.pptx

Field monitoring activity 

As you know, NEOs are responsible for the field monitoring of your project and they will monitor your project at least once a year.

The general objective of this monitoring activity is to maximize the impact of the programme and, equally importantly, to maximize the return on investment of EU funds through the achievement of public policy objectives. The benefits of monitoring extend beyond a given project, since lessons can be learnt, and best practice principles disseminated.

Monitoring is critical to all projects. Each project should have embedded internal project monitoring arrangements to check its progress or the achievement of milestones, identify problems, recognize the need for changes, amendments or developments, and ensure quality. Therefore, monitoring should be perceived as a positive and constructive activity, which supports the project and help it realize its objectives.

Project monitoring has the following three functions during the project's lifetime and beyond, depending on the timing and purpose of the monitoring activity:

• Preventive: getting information on the rules & procedures established within a project; review objectives, priorities, methodology, and planned activities
• Advisory: recommendations on both content and financial aspects of the project
• Impact: checking and assessing project results

Given the importance of this type of monitoring visits for partner countries, local stakeholders, the Ministry of Education, and the EU Delegation should be informed and invited to attend. 

You can find many recommendations on how to get prepared for a field monitoring, but also remember that you can use monitoring activities to get advice or consultation on project issues. Please use this opportunity to your advantage, as well! 

Monitoring Procedures.pptx 

Communication with Higher Education Reform Experts team

There is a team of higher education reform experts in each country, and they can be useful for your project, as they can provide expertise or consultation on policies or system level. In addition, the HERE team can provide best practice sharing or advice on some professional, educational issues of your interest. Communications with the HERE team can be organised through the NEOs. 

Advisory support on local or country content

You can also get advisory support from your NEO on issues such as project management and coordination, obtaining visa, equipment purchase, customs clearance, national legislation, and requirements specific to a country. NEOs can also play a role as mediators if you have some misunderstandings with the project team.

Current Challenges 

Your project will last two or three years, and you may face some challenges during the project lifetime. Always remember that you are not alone!  NEOs can support you in finding solutions. And bear in mind that every challenge is a starting point for development, and an opportunity!!! 

Challenge N 1 - Covid related pandemic:
The Covid-19 pandemic remains a main challenge in all countries and, most probably, the pandemic will not disappear in 2021. Therefore, first of all, you are advised to review your Action Plan with the consortium and develop a plan “B” for 2021, if mobility and some other activities cannot be implemented.

For more information please refer to the Covid-19 survey implemented by the Erasmus+ CBHE  Talent project:

Challenge N 2: VAT exemption 
VAT exemption is different in all countries in Central Asia, and in the Russian Federation. NEOs can give advice on VAT related issues and provide the necessary support to project partners. If you have questions, please ask your NEO.

Challenge N 3: Delivery of equipment and brokerage services
There are differences between customs clearance and tendering procedures among countries, and between the private sector and public higher education institutions.
Here are the updated guidelines (2020) on customs clearance procedures adopted by Erasmus+ CBHE projects in Uzbekistan: http://www.erasmusplus.uz/images/shared/file/guidelines_on_customs_clearance_Erasmus+_CBHE_May_2020_EN.pdf

Challenge N 4: Obtaining of visa 
If citizens of Programme countries are coming to Kazakhstan or Kyrgyzstan, most of the countries are exempted from visa for stays of up to 3 months in the above-mentioned countries. If you have questions regarding the visa application process in Russia, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, or Turkmenistan, you can consult the websites of the relevant NEOs, where you can find all the necessary information. Otherwise, you can contact the NEO in the country you need to go to, and get advice on how to get a visa. There are some difficulties in getting a visa in Turkmenistan, for example, so please consult the NEO in Turkmenistan, in case you face visa issue.

Other challenges may appear in your project implementation, such as project dissemination and visibility, impact and sustainability, partnership agreements, legislation in different countries, etc.  If you have doubts, please contact the NEO in your country.
