4 1. What is the Tempus TradPro project?

TradPro is a Tempus Capacity Building in the Field of Higher Education (Joint Project) project that started in December 2013. It was planned to last for three years, but the project has beneficiated from a one-year extension by the European Union, so it ends officially on November 30th, 2017. The project involves 19 academic and non-academic partners from Kazakhstan, the Russian Federation, Italy, Sweden and France. Montpellier SupAgro, France, coordinates it.

17 Teachers trained 3 in EU new Masters and 3 A methodology master modules designed : upgrading of 4 guide (TARGET) for existing Masters Food Safety (15 ECTS) implementing the training modules Traditional Food Processing (18 ECTS) Marketing and Development Short Entrepreneurship (15 ECTS) of Professional Technical Training Development Courses aimed at Centres 44 professionals students already Creation graduated - 118 students of an e-learning enrolled in 2017 course on “Training Engineering”

The low level of education and training in these sectors negatively affects worker productivity and limits job creation and entrepreneurship in the sector. In addition to the issue of employment, food security, food safety and educational reform are also high priorities within Russia’s and Kazakhstan’s overall development strategies. For example, in January 2010, the Russian president issued a decree endorsing the doc- trine of food security within the Russian Federation, and the government passed an order establishing the official state policy for the 2010−2020 period regarding nutrition and encouraging a healthy diet for the population.
