The European Commission is providing € 771 527,38 million to implement the project of TEMPUS IV programme „Reformation of the Curricula on Built Environment in the Eastern Neighbouring Area“ (CENEAST) over the next three years. The project coordinator is Vilnius Gediminas Technical University (VGTU) in Lithuania.

Fourteen organisations (universities and associations) from seven countries will implement the Project, which overall objective is to upgrade the curricula on built environment in the universities of Belarus, Russia and Ukraine according to Bologna practices in order to increase their capacity to continually modernise, enhance the quality and relevance of education of the building and civil engineering students to the labour market needs and to ensure international cooperation. The long-lasting experience in the sphere of the energetically and ecologically sustainable, affordable and healthy built environment and a mix of experienced and less experienced organizations in the above integrated approach were the reason for selecting the partners.

The main Project objectives are: to upgrade curricula of BSc/specialists, MSc and PhD programmes with new modules; to transfer the Bologna practices in education; to develop a virtual interuniversity networked educational system (intelligent library, intelligent tutoring system, intelligent knowledge assessment system, access to the e-sources of the research and educational information) in order to ensure cooperation among the EU and PC universities in education and research.

The project coordinator VGTU is very well experienced and skilled in field of development of intelligent systems and energetically and ecologically sustainable, affordable and healthy built environment. He has participated in more than 40 international projects in EU, USA, Africa and Asia. Currently, the development of intelligent systems and energetically and ecologically sustainable, affordable and healthy built environment is a subject of BSc, MSc and PhD studies, national and international projects at VGTU.
