“Mobility of the University students and employees has a great importance on the way of  Universities’ internationalization.  It has an important role in Universities’ ranking methodology. As internationalization is one of the key directions for our University, we are a part of this process, which is difficult, but essential. As a result we find partner Universities, which are ready to cooperate with ASUE”; mentioned Koryun Atoyan. The Rector’s speech is available in the attached file (Armenian version).

Then the Minister of the RA MES Levon Mkrtchyan made a speech, stressing that the Office of “Erasmus+” in Yerevan has carried out  great work during these years, due to which we are able to take out an active part of our educational system to an international cooperation arena. The Minister highlighted that the participant of the mobility program should bring the information, which is necessary to improve the higher education system. “Reforms of  the higher education system are very important, and students are the bearers of these reforms,  they should be able to  contribute their knowledge and information”; mentioned Levon Mkrtchyan.

Then the Director of “Erasmus+” National Office in Armenia Lana Karlova made a speech, noting that  although the program has passed a long way of development and has been the partner of 183 countries, however, there are problems both in terms of cooperation and education system.
