This project reviews the ongoing Eurasia Programme for the period 2015–2021 and is commissioned by the Norwegian Agency for International Cooperation and Quality Enhancement in Higher Education (Diku by its Norwegian acronym). The review is carried out by PwC Norway with Fridtjof Nansen Institute (FNI) as subcontractor.

The Eurasia Programme stimulates increased cooperation related to education between Eurasian and Norwegian higher education institutions (HEIs). The nine countries in which Norwegian HEIs may enter into cooperation with local HEI’s are Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Tajikistan and Ukraine.

The 62 funded projects’ aggregated contribution to the fulfilment of expected objectives and impacts of the Eurasia Programme will be reviewed. A report with findings and recommendations for further development of the Eurasia programme will be published.
