We hosted this year’s last Coordination Meeting of the ARMDOCT project on December 9. The meeting allowed coordinators to discuss the updates on activities carried out and to agree on the forthcoming ones. In particular, partners discussed and made decisions on the EACEA Midterm Report feedback and recommendations, the structure and methodology of WP2 upcoming activities, as well as the launch of WP4. Number of administrative and financial management issues and concerns have also been discussed.

We are happy that the representatives of MESCS and SCC again have taken part in the meeting to ensure the alignment between suggested reforms and the national priorities. Elaborating more on the methodology and structure of WP2 activities Mr. Karen Keryan, Chairman of Supreme Certifying Committee informed the meeting participants that 5 task force groups are formed to work on the development of corresponding legal documents: Revision of Regulation for the award of the degrees; Revision of Regulation for Admission and study; Revision of List of professions; Development of Guidelines for Research Ethics in Science; Development of Credit system for the third cycle of higher education.

Based on prolonged and newly ratified project timeline the WP4 will launch in January 2022 and should be completed by December 2022. During this period AM institutions will work on the benchmarking and revision of existing curricula based on outcomes and EU partners will lead as mentors.
