Project Summary

Basic idea of the project is that the academic education capacity in the countries in the process of joining the EU should be improved in order to meet new needs and challenges in Europe. The project can contribute to this by means of enhancing the capacity building in the field of academic and professional education in the area of Safety & Security (S&S).The ImprESS project intends to improve this in the following way: by means of strategic partnership in will set up the model for improving the educational capacity in the area of ’’sector skill alliance’’ for Safety & Security. Based on this model a sample educational infrastructure (curriculum, modules, courses, academic and para-academic educational activities) will be established and implemented in Serbia. The infrastructure will be used to improve the current educational capacity of the project participating universities in Serbia. The improved capacities together with those at the supporting EU academic education institutes will be integrated into Regional Center for Training & Education in area of Safety & Security (TESS). The Center will integrate also the particular high speed/ high-capacity computer support for the simulation exercises, needed for the advanced training and it will include the most advanced techniques & technologies in the area of S&S. The project will have impact not only onto the educational infrastructure in Serbia, but also onto the overall safety/security situation and infrastructures ensuring it. It will be achieved primarily by: a) alignment with the EU practices and b) including the most advanced state-of-the-art studies.On the other hand the project will have an impact on the EU side, too: the participating European Institutions will have the unique opportunity to has the first-hand experience with safety & security education-related issues in the countries beyond the EU-borders. This will happen with the active support from the project participating European universities.
