Nearly 90% of children having risk of disabilities need language and speech therapy.

Language and speech therapy is necessary for children and adults having problems of sucking/swallowing and problems of oral sensory.

Those who suffer from difficulties of communication and speech - include people with a wide range of disorders of the general communication and speech autism, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy and other chronic conditions.
SL therapy is important for children having articulation and speech problems, crucial for persons with hearing impairment etc.

Thus, the language and speech therapy is a very important specialization, which assists people with special communicational needs.

During last 10 years the need for Speech and Language Therapy services has become more and more evident due to the progressive awareness of communication, speech and language related disabilities both in children and adults.
In most cases these clients are being served by persons with no qualification in Speech and Language Therapy – they are from different related disciplines, such as linguistics, education and/or psychology, which cannot assure the quality of the speech and language therapy services.
Development of modern European standards-based specialty in Communication, Language and Speech Therapy will respond to the increased needs of quality services in the participating countries (Israel, Georgia, and Bosina & Herzegovina).

The growing global dimension of education, needs further actions for the enhancement of exchanges between the EHEA and other parts of the world, sharing goals and principles, as the transparent recognition of studies and qualifications.

The recent acceleration of mobility between EHEA and other regions through the EM programme put a renewed and global perspective of “mobility” which showed the huge challenges that HE institutions and systems still need to face and manage.
The students participating to EM projects are experimenting the same problems in recognition of studies abroad, that EU students and institutions had to afford at the first stage of Erasmus mobility.
The project proposal intends to harmonise the credit allocation and grading system in 5 study areas jointly developed in previous projects in 23 institutions from 8 countries belonging to 4 different regions, besides EU, providing a reliable scheme for credit and grades transfer, and is based on previous experiences of the partnership in TEMPUS Programme in CA, Caucasus, Russia and Asia and EMA2 projects in the same regions, and on the new ECTS Guide and pilot project EGRACONS.

Although assessment of the courses was included in these programs, none offered to develop relevant innovative tools and methods to evaluate these new innovative student-centered courses.

Moreover with relation to the formative assessment (FA) essential tenet needed in these environments, these projects have pointed to a growing need to deepen the knowledge of faculty regarding the optimal design and implementation of assessment in general and FA in particular.
The ASSET consortium provides the knowledge and pedagogical expertise aimed at developing and piloting creative and innovative course assessment tools (CATs) and methods adapted to the learning environments in use, and improving the effectiveness of teaching and learning within the IL and GE HE system, thus, bridging the gap between current educational goals of teaching and learning, and assessment processes for the 21st century.
The proposed ASSET project will develop IL and GE faculty skills in planning, preparing, producing, and integrating CATs in their courses including ICT-based virtual environments, by organizing training workshops for professional development, providing an ongoing support to further the sustainability of FA implementation, and disseminate the set CATs in their HEIs and beyond.
The development of CATs will allow partner HEIs evaluating students' lifelong learning (LLL) skills, both in personal and social levels.

Moreover, ASSET proposal is of relevance to the labor market and certainly offers flexibility when taking into account issues of lifelong learning, non-traditional learning, and other forms of nonformal educational experiences, in contrast to the SA approach.
The project will raise the quality and relevance of the teaching/learning experience and thus education at large, in line with the student-centered approach that lies at the core of the Bologna process.

Therefore, the proposal aims to: •develop and test in GE&UA 2-year University Masters(120ECTS),both for Engineering and Economics faculties; •support LU in defining and delivering the Masters; •support the implementation in LU laboratories dedicated to smart urban transport; • disseminate through the newsletters, events, workshops, seminars the importance of research in urban transport and logistics exploiting the new technologies; •set up national coordinated networks of UNIs, public bodies, private companies and NGOs involving them in the wider European network of research centres on smart urban transport and logistics.
These aims will be achieved thanks to a mix of activities such as: education, training, conferences and public events, web based dissemination and exploitation activities.The main outputs are: •masters in smart transport and logistics for cities formally approved(EU-GE/UA double-joint degree); •internationalization of research on smart transport and logistics for cities; •urban smart transport and logistics networks in GEandUA; •implementation of local laboratories on urban smart transport and logistics.

Specific objectives: 1.

To introduce Plagiarism Detection & Prevention/Feedback Instrument in Georgian universities, integrated into the existing Learning Management System (LMS); 2.

To Design & Launch PR Campaign of Plagiarism Awareness in Georgian HEIs targeting both students and faculty/teaching staff; 3.

To Develop & Deliver Faculty/teaching Staff Training in the area of Effective TLA; 4.

To Develop & Enhance Student Services to Boost their Academic Skills; 5.
To Review Academic Writing Curriculum at all 3 levels of Studies against standards and requirements established in the EU; 6.

To develop University Policies and Resources that are conducive to quality teaching & learning based on the principles of academic integrity.
The relevance of this initiative is as follows: a) Georgian HEIS are urged to respond to the external quality measures emphasizing regulation of Plagiarism; b) The National Research Report- 'The Problem of Plagiarism and Its Perceptions in Georgia' (2016) that revealed many critical issues to design intervention measures; c) The needs assessment of GE HEIs that was conducted in December 2016 by ISU QA Office boosting relevance d) Georgian HEIs actively attempt to align their teaching and learning processes with the EU HE Standards; c) The successful case of piloting advanced Technology tools (Turnitin and Moodle) at ISU transferring knowledge to other partners.
The INTEGRITY program has meaningful impact at the individual (min 60,000 students, 80 admin staff, 300 academic), institutional (12 GE HEIs), sector (transferable to the entire HE sector) and society levels (changing perceptions with regards to academic integrity).
