TACEESM project aims to articulate and meet 21st-century challenges with a sustainable model of architectural and civil engineering education at partner universities through core activities of teaching, research and knowledge transfer. It is envisioned that this project will have long-term benefits for all members involved in the project but also project results will reflect on community.

This project is seen as the revolutionary development of partner HEI that enhance ‘traditional’ ways of delivering knowledge with the potential for a high impact on other HEIs on local, national and regional levels. It asserts new forms of delivering education through an online platform that opens up enormous possibilities for partner countries to become part of the European network of education and industry and brings a new dimension of education through virtual space. It employs a broad range of shared materials, instructional modules for particular architectural and civil engineering units, software, and innovative teaching methods, designed and prepared by collaborative work of all partners and stakeholders that links the newly formed educational environment to project objectives.

This project promotes a vision of the future that engages new generations of graduates capable to influence changes on the environment. To meet rapid changing labour demands, students with the gained competencies become prepared for multi-disciplinary approaches to problem-solving. As a result, the project will enhance the employability of graduates.

The region will benefit since the project will increase flexibility and efficiency of education, in order to follow ever-changing labour market needs. Through dynamic, up-to-date, and innovative activities partner institutions will have a shared understanding of the sustainable model of education and it will collaborate with local community, industry and international partners.

The specific objectives are:

• To increase capacity building for study in architecture and civil engineering offered both in English and in local languages at BSc and MSc levels
• To develop, accredit and implement new courses in architecture and civil engineering at the BSc (12 courses) and MSc (11 courses) levels according to Bologna requirements by the end of the project
• To develop an innovative academic environment for architecture and civil engineering programs through the cooperation with industry
