Tempus projects implemented by UNIVAQ

The participation of UNIVAQ to the cooperation Programmes goes back to the early 90’s.

• Till 1990 Europe was strictly divided in two. • Contact between East and West was difficult.• The world was very different: the use of computers

was at the beginning, students still read books in libraries, communication was only by telephone and by post, fax was a sophisticated tool

• The Erasmus Programme had just been launched in 1987

Infoday Tempus IV – November 19th , 2012

• After the fall of the Berlin Wall, the EU had to be quick to respond to political circumstances.

• EC launches TEMPUS I that soon showed to be an excellent tool and opportunity to ‘re-unite’ Europe

• Belarus, Ukraine and the Russian Federation had already joined in 1993,

• Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan joined in 1994, then Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia in 1995, followed by Tajikistan in 1996 and Turkmenistan in 1997

• Mongolia participated under the TACIS Programme for ten years from 1995 to 2004
