Benchmark Report

The Benchmark report on training is now consolidated. Benchmarking with appropriate partners, at a national or international level, enables a University to compare and evaluate its performance and, in so doing, monitor standards, compare good practice and  make  quality.  Benchmarking  enables  the  structured sharing of ideas and good practices on institutional strengths and weaknesses (Burquel, 2014).

 The main objective of the study is to identify, among a chosen sample of a minimum of 30 European Universities (EU + Switzerland + non EU Balkans) formal post graduate trainings (individual courses available  in  continuous  education,  full  MScs,  professional  Masters  and  PhDs)  in  the  following disciplines (classified by domains):

  1. Environmental Economics and Natural Resources Management
  2. Territorial development
  3. Agricultural and rural policies
  4. Tools for monitoring and evaluation: collection of data, management of data, qualitative and quantitative data management
  5. Project Management and Evaluation

Important news: The List of Modules is being prepared and will be finalized by July 2018. SmartAL will publish information on the website which includes the description of curricula, twinning between teachers and the innovative methodologies to be used during this master.

Quality Plan

t10

Two level of quality assurance will be used throughout the entire project duration:

-  Quality assurance of the whole project: the aim is to assure the compliance of the project processes and results with the standards agreed among the Partners (identified indicators of progress), and to implement a continuous quality monitoring. 

-  Quality assurance of the 9 Modules: the Albanian HEI-s have to follow an well-defined procedure for the quality assurance. HEI-s should build up internal quality bodies and respect the quality procedures foreseen by the existing Public Standard. A better quality assurance framework reflecting the Albanian public standards requests, and integrating best Albanian and EU practices will be set up.

Dissemination and exploitation

t20

The dissemination and exploitation strategy enables SmartAL project to optimize its outcomes and impacts (including both theory and methodological processes and educational teaching/material). Dissemination will be an integral part of each activity of the project.
This WP activity supports the following objectives :
- Provide information about the achievement of the project.
- Increase the impact of the project.
- Maintain and create contacts with stakeholders of the project.
- Generate new partnership.
- Create a platform to ensure sustainable dissemination of the project outcomes.
This will be achieved through the creation of a website, Open House Days, Two conferences, several ongoing promotional campaings on our social media pages, creation of an Alumnii Assosciation
