The event took place on March 9 at Nicolae Testemitanu State University of Medicine and Pharmacy, and among the graduates of this program there were members of the management teams from our institution and from the State University of Moldova (USM).
In the opening of the event, university professor Larisa Bugaian, national coordinator of the MHELM project, head of the Erasmus+ Center at the Technical University of Moldova, mentioned that this was the final stage of the project, when the best results should be presented:
"By transposing this up-to-date information in the university environment, it will be possible for the higher education system in the Republic of Moldova to advance and, at the same time, to apply the same innovations already introduced in the educational systems of other countries", stated the expert.
The work team of Nicolae Testemitanu University came up with two projects. According to Associate Professor Marcel Abras, vice-rector for social activity, the topic of the first project - Evaluation of the public procurement system in the Republic of Moldova - was determined by the fact that "we are in a continuous procurement process of products, services and works and it is important to do it in the right way, according to the law". The project also included a case study of a public procurement procedure and recommendations in this regard.
The second project – Teaching and studying in foreign languages in higher education institutions - highlighted the importance of teaching and learning foreign languages in universities, a phenomenon determined by both external and internal factors. Among the external factors there are globalization, internationalization of the study process, confirmation of competitiveness at the national and international level and provision of higher quality educational services. Among the internal factors that influence this process, the increase in the performance level of employees and interprofessional competitiveness were listed.
