DESCRIPTION:

I-WEB aims to help Kokshetau State University named after Sh.Ualikhanov, Al-Farabi Kazakh National University and the International Kazakh-Turkish University to establish cooperation with business, professional and regulatory organizations at the national and international level in the development and presentation of Master's and doctoral PhD programs on Integrated Water Cycle Management (IWCM). The main characteristics of the I-WEB project are the creation of an International Advisory Board (IAB), consisting of Kazakh and European academic partners and representatives of professional scientific circles and national organizations dealing with educational programs. Representatives of other sectors will be invited to participate in the work of the IAB as progress is made in the implementation of the I-WEB project, whose role is to expand the scope of the content of the program and its implementation mechanisms to ensure compliance with the needs of various sectors. Internal and external quality assurance procedures for projects and programs will be developed, and IWCM laboratories will be established. Individual aspects of the modules (three events for students and practitioners) will be tested, and if they prove to be in demand, continuous professional development courses will be developed.

The global aim of the project includes responding to the needs of science and industry practice by training students in IWCM using the best examples, as well as developing an understanding of the need and processes for stakeholder engagement.

Specific aims of the project: development and provision of master's and doctoral degree programs in accordance with the principles of the Bologna Process, training of Kazakhstan’s teachers and students in IWCM and support of bilateral dialogue between business, regulatory authorities and government
