3rd consortium meeting took place in Bucharest at University Politehnica of Bucharest

Members of the consortium studied examples of Centres of Excellence in European countries, as well as best European practices in teaching engineering disciplines. Prof. Robin Clerk from Warwick University made a presentation on Teacher Professional Development. EXTEND Quality Plan has been thoroughly discussed and agreed upon. Much attention has been paid to Project Management issues: tendering, staff conventions, travel reports, financial statement and templates. All HEIs made presentations on Distance Learning at their universities. A special focus has been given to the issue of Quality Assurance and its dissemination, as well as to the refinement of the “centre model”. The Partnership Agreement has been signed.
