The project intends to develop and modernize formal and informal education curriculum in professional development and training of teachers in Mongolia, Kazakhstan, and Russia with the aim of empowering target groups with the deficient competences in the field of leadership. The project’s outcomes include a multidisciplinary module program for 2nd cycle of formal education which combines pedagogical, sociological, psychological, law, economics and management elements and professional development program “Teachers as Leaders”. Both programs will make the process of training and professional development of teachers for leadership more effective, aimed at maximizing interaction of educators in a community, at making their behavior in a professional environment innovative. One more project outcome is Education Centre for Leadership serving as a platform for the design, development and promotion of socially significant ideas of the local community, a model for the interaction and e-networking of active representatives of the local community.

The ARROW Project (Improvement of Research and Innovation Skills in Mongolian Universities), aimed to contribute to the promotion and strengthening of scientific writing skills and results visibility in Mongolian Universities. The project Consortium is composed by four European institutions and twelve Mongolian Universities.Through an extensive training program, ARROW provided a wide group of researchers, belonging to Mongolian Partner HEIs, with a set of theoretical and practical content aimed at improving research, publication and intellectual property skills. As a result of this program, beneficiaries acquired not only technical skills related to using a scientific database, selection of the most appropriate journal where to publish or International regulations for patent registration; but they also received training and advices on soft skills necessary for successful publication of research results. In this sense, through several courses, workshops and personalized mentoring, ARROW beneficiaries acquired the right skills for an appropriate communication with referees of quality journals, as well as for a problem solving mentality at time of publication and for the establishment of a productive relationships with partners and colleagues. Such effort continues, beyond the end of the project, through the fruitful collaboration, initiated thanks to ARROW, between European and Mongolian academics and researchers.
