Visit of Russian universities

According to plan of PACAGRO project activities the team of European experts visited all partner Russian universities during September 25 - October 2, 2014. Due to efficiency reasons there were 2 routes organized. The first route started at the St. Petersburg State Agrarian university, and the program was followed by the visit of the Kabardino-Balkarian State Agrarian University and finally the Russian State Agrarian University - Moscow Timiryazev Academy. The second route started at the Kazan State Agrarian University, followed by the visit of Mari University and ended in Moscow, too. Main aim of the visits was to be more familiar with the system of education at partner universities, accreditation processes and quality assurance. During the visit there were identified the strengths, weaknesses but also opportunities for further development in the framework of the project priorities. Each partner university devoted maximum attention to the visit and quality of program including meetings with the university rectors and other representatives and thematic visits of university facilities, too.
