Application Forms; Tempus Joint Project – Deadline: 28/04/2008SECTION IV: SUMMARY OF THE PROJECTA summary of the project must be provided in English, French or German and may be included in future Tempuspublications. This summary should be a snapshot of the project and should include its main features, includingthe principal outcomes and outputs. Please make sure that the information you provide in this section is consistentwith the Logical Framework Matrix.Outputs and Outcomes:(as in LFM)I. Development of a model of structured doctoral studies in MathematicalSciences involving the network of Western Balkans universitiesII. Doctoral curricula design in the areas of Pure Mathematics, AppliedMathematics and Theoretical Computer Science and the first phase ofimplementationIII.Strategy to train the next generation of mathematics professors atWesternBalkans universities for the research based education and studentcentered learningIV. Strengthening master programs from the standpoint of learningoutcomes and labor market/link to the third cycle dichotomy: pilot cases inMathematical modeling and Financial mathematicsV. Improvement of IT and library facilitiesSummary of the Main Features of the Project:Approaching 2010, that will mark (according to the London Communique) the passage from the BolognaProcess to the European higher education area, universities from Western Balkan countries and their EUpartners that successfully collaborated under TEMPUS IIbis and TEMPUS III on various aspects ofreform of higher education (the first two cycles curricula improvement, quality assurance, universitymanagement and strategic planing), join their efforts to develop structured doctoral studies inmathematical sciences in a way that overcomes fragmentation and foster the reciprocal development ofhuman resources in accordance with EHEA-ERA goals. SEE Doctoral Year in Mathematical Sciences2011 will be the first year of implementation of harmonized, high quality, internationally oriented andnetworked doctoral programmes in mathematical sciences in South-East Europe.The lasting impact isexpected through a systematic increase in number of highly qualified young researchers, wideremployabilty of mathematicians in nonacademic sectors and adjustment to a new paradigm in theuniversity mathematics education making a better use of traditionally strong abilities in mathematicalproblem solving.Quantitative data concerning the training of target groups involved in your projectNumber of teaching staff trained or retrained 63Number of trainers trained 10Number of trainees trainedNumber of administrative staff trained or retrained 14Number of students involved or trained 12587
