There are few types of activities were planed foк the project. The main is teaching courses according to application. these courses (for MA students) and module (as a training course) are to be devoted to collective memories in Europe including in connection to ethnic process and political issues of European integration. The initial idea was to invite students from various MA programmes (history, education, international relations, Urban studies, archeology etc) to discuss memory issues from different academic disciplines and utilise collective memory as a integrative subject. From the content view point, although these courses are to be new, three years ago I had quite concrete ideas about the structure off the courses including independent students work, course reading and courses evaluation criteria. Critical thinking approach was supposed as a key element of teaching method and I was going to consolidate teaching community around the critical thinking. So, starting the programme I was quite sure about the content of teaching. Unlike of teaching and students work, I had very general understanding about specific activities including public lecture series of European memory and on writing and thinking approach. Since new research-led teaching as well as critical thinking competences are crucially important for contemporary Russia I was just sure that the project will improve the quality of professional training on EU subjects (with modules that deal with EU subjects more in-depth and extend to memory subject) through writing and thinking seminars. Moreover, I believed that the new teaching methods will bring important innovative scholarly reflection on questions that are most frequently only in part addressed by academic work on the collective memory, focussing specifically on the nexus between processes of European integration and institutes/politics of memory. Research content of the project was to be devoted to publishing monograph of European collective memory. in the very beginning of the project I had ideas about the sources, methods and approximate structure of the book starting to deal with its some parts. All these activities corresponded with my Institute development program and was approved by its academic council.

"The project ""Future-Oriented chEmiSTry"" (FOREST) is aimed at enhancing employability of chemistry graduates and quality of chemistry education at RU and VN HEIs through introducing an interdisciplinary Master’s programs in line with the Bologna provisions. The specific project objectives are: To develop new interdisciplinary high-quality multi-track Master’s program in Future-oriented chemistry in line with Bologna provisions and while adapting the EU best practice;• To upgrade the teaching staff skills in T• To set up centres of excellence in chemistry;To raise awareness of local communities of climate change mitigation techniques.The main project outputs are: Master’s program in Future-oriented chemistry delivered at 5 RU and VN HEIs; teachers possessing the-state-of-the art T&A methods; 5 centres of excellence 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’s program 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 centres of excellence will serve as a link to partnerships with business partners and authorities, 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. FOREST will provide dissemination of deliverables."

The wider project objective is to enhance the quality of STEM Teacher training at partner universities in line with Bologna provisions and needs of knowledge economy. The specific project objectives are: to develop STEM Teacher Training Master programs in line with the Bologna provisions; to set up STEM resource centres ; to train teachers in new skills. The main project outputs are: Project policies, National STEM policies& practices, Integrated Master curriculum, 30 new course including 6 courses in English, innovative T&A methods specific for each module, 6 accredited Master programs in STEM Teacher Training; 6 STEM resource centres, retrained teachers, STEM ambassadors, 90 enrolled students, mobility schemes tested between EU and partner universities, Engagement program aimed at raisinf students' interest to STEM subjects. The achievements of outputs is reached through the implementation of 6 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 STEM stakeholders. All project outputs will be internally and externally evaluated. The project consortium consists of 10 universities from 4 EU countries and 6 universities from Russia and Kazakhstan. The associated partners will be actively involved in training and disseminating activities.

"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.

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."
