Belarus to take part in six projects sponsored under Erasmus+ program

It is required that at least three universities from member states of the program (EU countries) and at least two universities from at least two partner countries should take part in the program. If the project is implemented at the national level, the participation of one partner country is possible, but the involvement of at least three universities is required.

Taking part in the project entitled Enhancement of Innovative Competence and Business Skills in Engineering Education will be Armenia, Belarus, Georgia, and Kazakhstan (16). The project named Training Drone will involve Armenia, Belarus, Georgia, and Moldova (11). One of the projects is being implemented at the national level.
