Project EUE-Net had an important impact at national level in the partner countries on the three axes of cooperation. Important projects and follow up actions undertaken at national level have been already implemented or are ongoing, especially on the practical placements of students in enterprises. |
Thus, EUE-Net identified, defined and promoted the concept of Reference Centre for the Quality of Student Placements. This innovative concept, developed specifically within the Q-PlaNet Special Interest Group of the project does not exist in many member states. As result of the project EUE-Net, in Estonia and Romania such centres have been successfully founded and established for the first time as a reforming instrument for the quality of student placements. |
Creation of dedicated departments for the U-E cooperation in the Parrtner institutions: |
| DESC - Department of liaison with economic cultural and social environment Brasov, Romania |
| Romanian Law for Practical Placements of students adopted in 2007 |
| QRC Department, Tallinn, Estonia |
Quality Reference Centre for student placement in Bucharest |
Another important impact of EUE-Net is the European standard for Quality of Student placements. Based on this achievement, the concept of Reference Centre has been extended to be easily applicable to all Erasmus Consortia created under Erasmus, such as to enable the improvement of quality of the international placements within the European Union. For this purpose, the Pilot Network of Erasmus Consortia was initiated |
Launch of new LLP Projects originated or closely linked to EUE-Net: |
As a direct impact of EUE-Net project in Romania is a strategic project at national level funded with a budget of approx 3 millions Euro under the Structural Funds scheme between 2010-2013, for national and transnational placement of Romanian students. The project reunites three EUE-Net partners: Mac-Team, University Transilvania and Amadeus Viena and has as objectives to organize a significant number of student placements abroad as well as to implement the Q-PlaNet standards in Romanian student placements at both regional and International level. This project is a direct impact of EUE-Net and is likely to lay out a solid foundation for the organization of this activity in Romania: a Model adapted to the Romanian legislation, dedicated infrastructure, supporting materials in Romanian, standards etc. |
