A transparent information system will be organised, based on effective communication practice, able to involve all partners and to collect all relevant information related to the project management and evaluation. The project’s web site will be developed and hosted at the co-ordinator’s server. Every report or deliverable will be produced in electronic form by the partners and posted on the web immediately in order to be seen by the other partners. The private area of the project web page will be the main information tool, which will ensure permanent and effective communication between partners. Partners and EACEA will have online access to the project activities, intermediate results, outcomes via the project web page. It will be a place of discussions, messages, to-do list, news, working documents. PMB meetings - minimum twice per year in order to monitor the project’s progress and to establish adequate procedures to face with delays or inappropriate partner performance if any. The experience from previous projects shows that the tasks are usually done just before the meetings. The internal communication will be managed through the system of electronic mailing lists structured in accordance with the project needs (general mailing list, thematic clusters’ mailing lists, executive mailing list) and collaborative working functionalities provided by the project website. The project plans to run quarterly tele/skype-conferences with all participants. As to external communication: official information on the


project, communication with EACEA, external partners will be provided via P1; dissemination on the project goals, activities and impacts will be in the hands of all partners involved in the project. The communication will have to respect the commonly agreed rules and standards. Partnership agreement will be prepared by P6, in consultations with partners. The document will set the principle frameworks (management structure, decision-making and crisis resolution rules) common for all project partners. To ensure adequate representation of all partners, PMB will be responsible for the communication among partners. The local partner will lead the formed Local Project Team (LPT) of his HEI, which will work out and follow-up the Work plan of the own HEI.


PART E - Project characteristics and relevance

E.1. Why does the consortium wish to undertake this project? Please outline the motivation behind your project, clearly identifying the specific needs or problem/s which it intends to solve. Explain how the project proposal fits within the development strategies of the Partner Countries involved and how it addresses the priorities defined at national / regional level. Also explain why this/these problem/s were selected instead of others. In particular, explain how the area of intervention has been explored to guarantee that the project is offering something new compared to the existing situation. Where applicable, explain any synergy with other EU initiatives should be highlighted (limit 5000 characters).

The proposed project goals are to adapt, modernize and restructure existing curricula in space exploration and intelligent robotic systems; to develop new certified courses, to test innovated curricula and to disseminate the results. These goals pass to the development strategies of partner countries (PC) both in curricula modernization and stimulation of the high-tech production. The current space exploration/robotic education in partner countries is mostly based on the old curricula and text books dated back to the 1980s. This leads to simplifications, disconnect with research and irrelevance for current technological and social challenges. On the other hand, PC have vast experience in the advanced research that is not included into the educational programs but can be beneficial for enriching the EU expertise. Partners will develop a strong brand to ensure that they remain competitive in attracting students, staff and international partners. The governmental organizations from PC, jointly with National Space Agencies/National Satellite Operators/Research Institutes, have identified the space technologies/robotic system as a national priority. They have set the national goals for advancing technology of space exploration/robotic system in order to build the world class infrastructure. The representatives of Kazakhstan pointed out the importance of improving the standards of space education, which are the high governmental and industry priority. The need for the development of space technologies and robotic applications is of paramount importance for technological growth. This project emphasizes the national and regional priority “Physical Science” for all PC with subject area “Applied sciences and technology”, through curricula development as space technologies/exploration/remote sensing. The sectoral linkages enables APPLE to address the necessity of HEI in enhancing the quality of education due with the national priorities of the target region.

The purpose is "to develop a space industry through using and enlarging the technological and scientific infrastructure ". The government of Belarus adopted the decree which was approved by the Minister council (June 10, 2015). The Decree № 483 is named “The Law on the State Support for Scientific Activities” and provides implementing of youth projects in space-related education, students and graduate students practice in space projects, using of space information systems and technologies in the related industries and building attractiveness for the employees in space industry. Partners from Russia pointed out the importance of improving the education standards in these fields based on the Law №5663-1 “On space activities” (dated from August 20, 1993) and on the Federal Law №273 “On education” (dated from December 29, 2012). This submits the availability of all the preconditions for the successful implementation of the pilot educational program. BY, KZ and RU promote industrial and educational cooperation to build successful strategic alliances and trade partnerships. This project aims at transferring knowledge between EU HEI/HEI in PC and between PC institutions to modernize university curricula in space exploration and robotic technologies. The planned curricular reform will focus on content, structure, teaching methods and the use of new teaching materials with regard to European modernization agenda for higher education. Newly developed courses will be structured according to the three cycle system. The recognition arrangements between higher education institutions in the EU and in PC will be established. The new and updated courses will start in frames of project will include at least 200 students and retrained teachers. The third project year and partly the second are devoted to the courses working-out. This project will impact on the PC-institutions participation with regard to the country priorities. New cooperation opportunities for


universities and enterprises in knowledge exchange and educational resources allow to prepare the future specialists for the job-market more effectively. These are namely: - a distributed support system in PC and EC; - praxis oriented up-to-date scientific courses available for university students; -accessible on-line at-the-working-place training courses for staff. In terms of instable economic and political situation in the world the graduates have to be prepared to adapt fast to the frequent changes of labor market needs. The project is intended to solve several tasks at once: to build an advantage for companies looking for technical staff, for academics in need of re-trainings, for alumni. Particular emphasis will be placed on available software, data and teaching material that can enhance the use of the education curriculum. Summarizing all the statements above the project declares the goal to improve technical and soft skills of the trainees in terms of space exploration study program regarding market demands.

Please describe briefly how your project proposal was prepared (e.g., capitalising on previous experiences, based on achieved outcomes in former projects, following previous cooperation amongst the consortium members, etc.) (limit 1000 characters).

In frames of the International forum of leading aerospace universities (www.aerospaceconf.com) in Berlin a round table on strengthening international cooperation in the sphere of education and science took place in P1. It was attended by representatives of P1, P3, P6, P9, P15 and P18. On the initiative of P1 the working group was set up to explore the joint activities of curriculum reforms in space technologies and intelligent robotic system. The representatives from P7, P11, P21 and P24 were also included into the working group later. There was an online-questionnaire developed by P1, P3 and P6, containing 20 questions. Teachers, students, alumni, stakeholders in BY, KZ, RU were invited to explore the question of introducing new study program of space exploration/robotic systems. The survey pointed out the strong demand in in-depth understanding and practical/industrial knowledge of space system and conceptual design on robotic systems, as well as of wireless communication and energy efficiency. The analysis of the survey discovered the common need of all the partner countries for implementing curricula that includes the development of technologies for space engineering and robotic system studies.

F.3. Budget and cost effectiveness Please describe the strategy adopted to ensure that the proposed results and objectives will be achieved in the most economical way and on time. Explain the principals of budget allocation amongst partners. Indicate the arrangements adopted for financial management and what co-financing modalities are planned (limit 3000 characters).

The project involves 25 partners and the planned results require considerable work. The budget is planned in the most economical way to be under the limit for the call. Funding is only requested for activities necessary for a successful realization of the project. The financial management is the task of P1. In order to optimize the staff costs following measures have been undertaken: - All partners have knowledge and skills required to perform project tasks. For each activity, the most skilled partner have been assigned to play the role of work package leader; - Most of partners have experiences in cooperation in other EU programs and financial administration; - Majority of project activities will be performed locally at partner’s premises. The cooperation of partners will be supported with IT tools (Flash meetings, project Web site, webinars), in addition to the meetings for the project milestones; - Staff cost are distributed according the tasks to be performed and the necessary workload profile of experts involved. The managers’ days of the coordinating institution are much more because of the agreements preparation, reporting, QA of the overall project. The workdays of P1 are higher because coordinating 25 partners is very time-consuming as proven during the proposal preparation. Researchers/teachers will be involved in all tasks but their main responsibility is the course development, performing the pilot training and exploitation of courses. Technicians will record the lectures and laboratory practice, maintain the project Web page, the e-learning environment. The administrative staff will help the management and the implementation of project activities; - Travel and subsistence costs will be used for attending the project meetings, trainings for teachers/tutors, dissemination of the project results on European conferences; - The equipment will be purchased for two purposes: multimedia course development and delivery (workstations, server, camera, software for eLearning materials development) and laboratary equipment; - Constant internal and external financial audit are foreseen; As for distribution between the partner universities, the partner shares of funding spun from 8,8 % maximum (for the Coordinator University-P1) to 3,6 % minimum . This demonstrates relatively even budget distribution. The 96 % of budget is allocated to partner universities (P1-P5 and P7-P17).


F.4. Quality control and Monitoring Please explain what mechanisms have been put in place for ensuring the quality of the project and how the evaluation will be carried out. Please define the specific quality measures established, as well as the benchmarks and indicators foreseen to verify the outcome of the action. Make sure that the information in this section is consistent with the project Logical Framework Matrix (limit 3000 characters).

Quality assurance (QA) is an integral part of the internal management of all EU institutions following the standards in the European Higher Education Area and the new courses will be objects of these QA procedures. Quality assessment will be based on careful procedure of self-evaluation by the institutions involved in the project followed by external evaluation by peers. The external evaluators will test also whether the self-evaluation has been done carefully. They will report their own conclusions and recommendations. On the basis of evaluations the management of the project will make the necessary decisions and plan activities for their implementation.QA will cover assessments of context: higher education; inputs: needs of labour market, learners, teachers and HEI management; products – competence matrix, syllabi, learning materials, tests, delivery and support system of web-based courses, assessments of development processes and assessment of the course implementation and learning outcomes- pilot test with small groups of learners and field trials - with real trainees in a real training environment. The detailed explanation is provided in the WP 3.1 Quality control. The consortium pays a special attention to ensuring quality implementation of the action and delivering maximal impacts on all participating universities and systems of higher education, in general. The main approaches taken with this respect can be summarized as the following: The consortium composition brings top Universities with matching and mutually complementary expertise. This will enables delivering the impact right into the centre of national systems of education. To insure the quality of the project following types of quality validation are foreseen: through an Internal Evaluation Board (IEB). To insure the internal evaluation the IEB composing of one representative from each partner institution will be appointed at kick off meeting. All partners collaborate for the quality of the project and regularly report to the IEB on the project implementation. In the first period of the project, each partner had to submit the accordant report twice. The IEB, which meets at every international project conference, analyses the reports and works out recommendations on the project implementation. The project incorporates the system of monitoring strategies/methods targeting at ensuring high quality of results and smooth project implementation. The QA of APPLE strives to carry out unit activities: - Ensure the development of updated/modernized curricula; - Ensure that assets are achieved and funds are expended appropriately; - Ensure that accreditation of the developed curricula on national/institutional levels, regulations and guidelines are met, as well as applicable; - Identification and analysis of risk are foreseen; - Identification of performance outcomes, both internal and external; - Monitoring of service delivery against clear and known standards to track success and failure; - Recommendations for corrective action; - Provision of technical assistance; advice/assistance; The work is completed via: - Planned and systematic reviews utilizing review instruments developed in partnership with stakeholders; - Other quality assurance monitoring techniques consistent with accomplishing of WP.

Sustainability strategy of APPLE will maintain its activities, services and benefits during its projected lifetime and after the project follow up and the strategy is worked out with the consortium right at the planning stage. The APPLE strategy defines the percentage of project-initiated activities and services that will be delivered and maintained after five years of implementation of the project; the continuation of local actions stimulated by the project and generation of successor services and initiatives as a result of project initiatives. The strategy will be discussed during every coordination meeting and implemented by all partner, involving enterprises in/out of the consortium and presented to the national Ministries. The consortium will analyze the strategy and adapt the strategy due to the level of implemented activities and new initiatives caused by the project The core indicators of sustainability of APPLE will be the extent and degree to which the delivery of activities and its impact on target groups that continue to receive the benefits from project activities. To ensure sustainability following factors are included in the worked out strategy: the project fully meets academic, professional and social needs of target countries; active participation of all target groups (teacher/professional/students/manager) is guaranteed; high degree of inter-institutional cooperation; intensive involvement of the non-university partners in the project implementation. At the end of the project the developed services and training modules will be integrated in the daily educational and training activities of the partner institutions within the established network. It is planned to conduct reports on sustainability/seminars on transferring the results by key staff of target/EU Universities during all information and coordination conferences for non-project HEI`s in partner countries. The representatives of the non-university partner organizations will be involved in the information events and conferences more often and will comprehensively support the project by promoting the project vision both within and outside their institutions.
