For 2011, EURASHE has received financial support from the European Commission through Jean Monnet Programme – Key Activity 3 - European associations active at European level in the field of education and training.
The project aimed at building a representational platform for European VET providers. EUproVet offers members the opportunity to add a strong international dimension to their education in order to meet the demands of the labour market for international orientated entrepreneurs and employees.

This project was developed under the Multiannual Programme for Enterprise and Entrepreneurship (2001-2005), by using “Best procedure”.“Best Procedure” was set up to promote the exchange of best practice and to create synergies between existing processes. The common feature of Best Procedure projects is an analysis of issues of interest for the Commission and national administrations, with a view to gaining a better understanding of the nature of such issues, of the efforts being deployed and the identification of best practice. The ultimate aim of the whole process is to encourage policy change in the Member States and in the other participating countries, and one of the essential features of this methodology is that projects are carried out jointly by the Commission and by the national administrations concerned.

This project had the purpose to make a detailed analysis of existing Sub-degree (Tertiary Short Cycle) Education in Europe. The study consists of a comparative study and a brief summary of the situation of HE and especially TSC in all Bologna signatory countries. The authors have focused mainly on public education, and only in special cases on education in the private sector. The eventual aim of the study was to promote that students and teachers from a substantial part of TSC education can become an integrated part of higher education, by including TSC education in the Bologna-process and thereby enhancing the transparency and recognition of TSC education in Europe.

The objective of the project was to raise standards in the HEIs in the partner countries, by implementing the standards of Quality Assurance that were developed in Europe in the framework of the Bologna Process. This project, by stressing the external dimension of the Bologna Process and by clearly focusing on Quality Assurance in a National and Transnational Context, has been of great help in fostering a debate between experts from Europe and from the Eurasian partner countries (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan). In addition, it helped create close links between the universities in the area and, in general, the educational sectors of the three countries involved, and also bring the process of reform of HE in the three partner countries more in line with European standards.
