After two academic years of running Erasmus+ Jean Monnet Module “The European Union Entrepreneurial Environment at HEIs: Changing the World by Technology Ventures”, the Department of Innovations in Chemical Technology reconsidered the study plan for the MSc degree program. The renewed MSc degree program in 27.04.04 Innovation was titled “Project Management in Chemical Technology”. The study plan was validated by the University Academic Council and approved by the Acting Rector Yury Kazakov in June, 2021.

The graduate students enrolled for this program this year, will have four new courses in their study plan in the first semester. They are:

- “EU Practices to Support Innovative Engineering Entrepreneurship” (25 contact hours);
- “EU Quality Standards and Environmental Policy” (17 contact hours);
- “EU 3rd Generation Universities as an Integrated Innovative Environment for Young Future Makers” (21 contact hours);
- “EU Entrepreneurship Values: Cultural Diversity and Unity” (23 contact hours).

The round table program offered the presentations that focused on the EU expertise in innovative entrepreneurship, lean production, and circular economy. The KNRTU Vice Rector for Academic Affairs Dilbar Sultanova, the leader of the current Jean Monnet module project, analyzed approaches of EU and Asian countries to circular economy. Deputy Director of “Tatneftehiminvest-holding” Leysan Abzalilova overviewed the strategies of EU companies in green chemistry. The Head of Innovations Department at “Egida” company Timofey Kalinin considered recycling and ecological initiatives as the necessary prerequisites for the development of an industrial company.

The new study plan is attached.
