Description of the project |
Waste management is one of the urgent problems for the Republic of Kazakhstan, because the amount of waste is now increasing significantly. There are systemic problems in the creation of the waste management infrastructure, the lack of qualified specialists. Another serious problem for the agrarian regions of Kazakhstan is the management of agricultural waste, since this area is not taken into account by the existing legislation. In this regard, it becomes necessary to create a new approach to waste disposal. The project aims to develop a master's program in waste management at each university in the partner country, which will be implemented and accredited by all universities in the consortium. The developed program will contribute to the development of a circular economy in neighboring EU countries, ensure mutual understanding of EU and non-EU partners in waste management, help raise awareness of waste and environmental programs, and ensure better waste management in countries - partners in the future, supporting the labor market with the required specialists. |
Purpose of the project |
- development of master's educational programs in the field of waste management; - raising awareness of the circular economy through the development of new curricula for higher education institutions |
Project objectives |
- development of high-quality educational programs on waste management that meet international requirements, and their implementation in the educational process; - exchange of experience and transfer of knowledge between partner countries, training and internships on the basis of EU universities and partner universities; - raising awareness of the public and authorities about the problems in the field of waste disposal through round tables, consultations and relevant social networks; - ensuring sustainability through effective and targeted dissemination of project results at regional, national and inter-project levels |
Target group |
- students interested in enrolling in master's programs that develop certain skills in the most relevant areas of modern management; - industry partners who lack specialists in the field of waste management, which is most important for the multi-waste industry in Kazakhstan and Russia; - university leadership interested in the development of new master's programs that meet the demanded needs of the labor market; - authorities and the public who are interested in the development of regional programs for waste management, as well as developing policies for the management of agricultural waste |
