The ARROW Project (Improvement of Research and Innovation Skills in Mongolian Universities), aimed to contribute to the promotion and strengthening of scientific writing skills and results visibility in Mongolian Universities. The project Consortium is composed by four European institutions and twelve Mongolian Universities.Through an extensive training program, ARROW provided a wide group of researchers, belonging to Mongolian Partner HEIs, with a set of theoretical and practical content aimed at improving research, publication and intellectual property skills. As a result of this program, beneficiaries acquired not only technical skills related to using a scientific database, selection of the most appropriate journal where to publish or International regulations for patent registration; but they also received training and advices on soft skills necessary for successful publication of research results. In this sense, through several courses, workshops and personalized mentoring, ARROW beneficiaries acquired the right skills for an appropriate communication with referees of quality journals, as well as for a problem solving mentality at time of publication and for the establishment of a productive relationships with partners and colleagues. Such effort continues, beyond the end of the project, through the fruitful collaboration, initiated thanks to ARROW, between European and Mongolian academics and researchers.

THE ARTICULAN-TEAM SET UP A FRAMEWORK FOR ARTISTIC PROJECTS TO OFFER CHILDREN IN CLIL AND REFUGEE CLASSES THE OPPORTUNITY TO CREATE ART.The project fostered various innovative practices thanks to cross-fertilization of the participating organizations - PXL University of Applied Sciences and Arts Hasselt (Belgium), Porto University (Portugal), University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (Spain) and Istanbul Cerraphaşa University (Turkey) – all four very complementary in expertise. Each partner analyzed the merits of education through the arts combining different domains of arts education and focusing on divergent processes & appropiate challenges for children in multilingual classrooms. Responsive teaching was crucial for qualitative interactions and collaboration in small teams. To create a warm emotional climate and safe environment where children are given time and space to explore, experiment, support each other and connect in small groups. The project evaluated to what extent local evidence-based practices can be transferred to other European contexts. Focus on social cohesion, inclusion and multicultural understanding stimulated positive perceptions, fostered the ability to value different opinions and created strong drivers for active involvement, personal growth and shared identity. First of all we learned that multisensorial activities and modelling in teamteaching helps children to understand the goal of the workshop and the importance of different interpretations to feed the creative process. Focus on interdisciplinarity helps teachers to explain an activity for a creative process in a multilingual classroom. Combining different domains of arts education gives children the impulses they need to explore, to experiment and to experience a creative flow. It also helps children to interact in a meaningful way, because they give meaning to their creation in group, when they exchange ideas for a common goal. A warm emotional climate and focus on bonding help children to cross the speech barrier. We also learned that asking open questions out of curiosity helps children and adults to broaden their view and respect ideas, values and beliefs that are less familiar to them. We learned that teachers need to believe in the potential and the talents of each child and give impulses on personal growth. Teachers also need to model how children could listen with empathy, validate ideas and act with respect. This helps children to explore new horizons. Participants in our multiplier events and train-the-trainer sessions confirmed that this approach strengthens the open attitude of the children as they participate in a joint approach in a multimodal creative process. They started to download our eResources shortly after the multiplier event. Primary school teachers focused more on interactive learning and responsive teaching to support the creative process. Artists of cultural organisations and arts academies paid more attention to communication and interaction for language acquisition in multilingual groups. They all valued the output of the ArtiCULan-project. It strengthens their key competences and fosters the basic learning skills as a whole. National policy-makers and educational decision makers were invited to the focus groups and multiplier events. In one country policy makers and pedagogic advisors will focus more on arts education in refugee class and for lesson of foreign language education in the curricula of primary and secondary education. This has a positive impact on primary school teachers who are more motivated to professionalize their teaching inspired by the value of education through the arts. All output is accessible online on https://www.articulan.eu/.

ReVET is a Project involving 13 HEIs (3 European and 10 Asian) with the main aim to contribute to the promotion, strengthening and capacity building of veterinary studies in Asian partners Universities using the European “know-how”. The main basis of the present proposal is transferring and sharing the experience in the veterinary field from Europe to Asia and from Asia to Europe. The entire partnership will work together building and reinforcing curriculum and all the teaching material needed for a high quality standard veterinary college to be implemented in Asian partner countries. The proposal strategy is as follows; firstly, an infield study of the situation will give to the project a faithful idea of the state of the art. Secondly, this information will be reflected in a Situation Report (1 per Country) and shared on the ReVET platform. New veterinary curricula will be designed by EU and Asian academic staff; Asian teachers will receive a training of trainers in Europe (at the same time they will share their experience throughout open-day talks and lectures in the European HEIs). Third, all teaching materials needed, will be generated by European REVET Partners HEIs. Last, but not least, the new/up-dated curriculum will be implemented in the last year of the project. The impact of the project will be as a cascade: the teaching-learning process of the veterinary student is reinforced, thus skills will be improved, as the results of the improvement, the livestock production and welfare will be most favourable alleviating hunger and ensuring a better control of food safety. Finally zoonotic outbreaks will be reduced contributing to an overall beneficiary impact for the world.

COMFORT will close knowledge gaps for key ocean tipping elements under anthropogenic physical and chemical climate forcing through an interdisciplinary research approach. It will provide added value to decision and policy makers in terms of science based safe marine operating spaces, refined climate mitigation targets, and feasible long-term mitigation pathways. We will determine the consequences of passing tipping points in physical tipping elements for the marine carbon, oxygen, and nutrient cycles, as well as tipping points in biogeochemical tipping elements. The respective impact on marine ecosystems will be determined. Projections of the Earth system and impact studies have so far been carried out sequentially in a chain from scenarios to projections to off-line impact studies. This sequential workflow has hampered a quick response of the impact community back to revised scenarios and projections for tackling climate mitigation. COMFORT breaks new ground by bringing together experts from Earth system science, oceanography, fisheries science and ecology in a single integrated project who will work in parallel with a consistent set of analysis tools, scenarios, and interoperable models. The strength of COMFORT lies in the system-focused interdisciplinary approach as opposed to existing studies at the level of individual subsystems. The approach will be pursued with a firm link to stakeholders. COMFORT results will contribute to all four expected impacts for this call.
