Our Activities
EDC's activities mainly cover three areas:
Seminars
Seminars are held on topics of common interest, including those related to higher education reform in Central Asia, creating a common educational space in the Region, and establishing cooperation with European universities and organizations in the field of education.
Surveys
EDC can ask questions on a specific topic or several problems of improving the quality of education. The answers are collected and placed in the EDC database. On particularly important issues, EDC can publish a comparative analysis of the situation in individual countries.
Publications
EDC publications include: periodic publications (information about interesting events in leading international universities; Activity Report – annual report on EDC activities), and ad hoc publications accompanying thematic seminars.
Funding
EDC’s activities were initially funded by the Embassy of the European Union in Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan, and partially by the funds of the universities where the European Documentation Centres are located. Erasmus+ projects finance EDC’s activities indirectly, for example by including the center in the project as a partner responsible for disseminating the project results among stakeholders.
