Structuring the development of the new two years master programme Energy Efficiency, Renewable Energy Sources and Environmental Impacts at WB partners universities in accordance with the European standards (3 cycle’s architecture and ECTS).Bringing master curricula, teaching methods, laboratory and library facilities into the recognized standards. This programme will be offered to the broad class of Bachelor engineers in Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Architecture, Electrical Engineering and Technology in RS, BA and ME. Retraining the lecturers (docents and professors), future lecturers (assistants) and best students (future experts and assistants) from WB partner universities by EU experts at EU universities. Reshape curricula in general subjects, increase the proportion of experimental and practical work, introduce practical placements and projects against lectures and tutorials, upgrade existing courses and introduce students-focused methodology.

During the project period the new curricula architecture has to be established at WB partner universities. The following activities are planned:

• Drafting of course outlines (WP2)

• Methodology improvements  for new master programme.

At least 120 students have to be enrolled and approximately 40 to graduate during the whole project period (WP.4)

• Quality control and monitoring will be provided by the project management team. Internal assessment will be done by QA offices, the university Senate, Student Parliament and Ministry of education and external assessment by EU partners(WP.5)

• Dissemination process will be performed during the whole project period with the elaboration of specific dissemination materials (WP.6)

• Sustainability of project results will be achieved through systematic validation by the faculty and university councils and by the accreditation recognition of the Ministry of Education (WP.7)

• Project management will be provided by the coordinator and Project Management Team (PMT) assisted by administrative staff members for the follow up of project activities and project expenses (WP.8).
