On 22 October 2026, Yerevan State University hosted the final conference of the Erasmus+ JoPScip project, “Curriculum Development – Joint MA Programme in Political Science.” The event brought together project partners to review achievements, share lessons learned, and explore opportunities for sustainable cooperation.
The project united six universities from Armenia, Georgia, Austria, and North Macedonia to develop a modern, internationalised Joint Master’s Programme in Political Science. Its key results include a 120-ECTS curriculum comprising six modules and 85 course syllabi, joint management and quality assurance structures, staff training, and a Virtual Educational Space supporting collaborative teaching and learning.
The conference programme addressed curriculum development, teaching excellence, European accreditation, quality management, digital education, and dissemination. A panel discussion examined the experiences, priorities, and challenges of internationalising higher education in the Eastern Partnership region and the Balkans.
The concluding discussions focused on the project’s impact, sustainability, and future cooperation, including the RE-GOVERN initiative. The conference highlighted the importance of maintaining the partnerships and structures established through JoPScip to support joint education and academic exchange.
JoPScip is co-funded by the European Union under the Erasmus+ Capacity Building in Higher Education programme.
