INTRODUCTION

1.1

The origins of Tempus

The political events of 1989 and 1990 in Central and Eastern Europe had a dramatic impact on the
European Community. The Member States individually and collectively found themselves facing
unprecedented challenges to the established philosophy and procedures in external relations. From
the outset there was no doubting the urgency in making an appropriately rapid and effective
response to these challenges. Quick action needed to be taken to strengthen the emerging
democracies and capitalise on this unexpected opportunity to redirect the future of Europe.

Aiming for an integrated global response,
to provide a
comprehensive framework for the provision of practical assistance and expertise to help the
countries concerned restructure their economies and political systems. An overall programme of
assistance was agreed by the Council of Ministers in December 1989. Known as Phare(1), it
provided the framework for Community assistance to the economic and social reform processes in
Central and Eastern Europe.

the European Community sought

The partner countries themselves identified higher education and training as one of the priority
areas for trans-European cooperation. From an early stage a number of assistance programmes in
the field of education were embedded within Phare. In January 1990 the Commission submitted to
the Council and the European Parliament its plans for the creation of a new Phare programme
specifically designed to meet the higher education needs of Central and Eastern Europe. This was
the starting signal for Tempus.

1.2

Tempus I and II

The Council adopted Tempus on 7 May 1990 (2), for an initial pilot phase of three years beginning
on 1 July 1990. A later Council Decision (3) extended the pilot phase for one year, until the end of
June 1994. Initially 3 countries were involved in the scheme: Poland, Czechoslovakia and Hungary.
This number increased with the years as illustrated in Figure 1. In 1999, 24 partner countries
benefited from the programme.

The Council Decision adopting the second phase of the Tempus Programme (Tempus II) was taken
on 29 April 1993 (4). This decision meant the continuation of support for the existing partner
countries and the geographical extension of the Programme’s activities to the new republics of the
former Soviet Union (the New Independent States) and Mongolia. Projects in these countries - with
the exception of the Baltic States - were funded from the overall Tacis budget, the European Union
(EU) initiative fostering the development of harmonious and prosperous economic and political
links between the European Union and the New Independent States and Mongolia. Preparatory
activities in Belarus, the Russian Federation and the Ukraine already commenced in 1993. Where
necessary this report will make a distinction between ‘Tempus Phare’ and ‘Tempus Tacis’.

1 At that time Phare stood for “Pologne, Hongrie: Assistance à la Restructuration Economique”. The current
full name is “Phare-Community programme for assistance for economic restructuring in the countries of
Central and Eastern Europe”.

MAIN FEATURES OF TEMPUS

2.1

Strategy: bottom-up approach with top-down orientation

In its first two phases Tempus adopted a predominantly bottom-up approach. Support concentrated
on innovation at the base of the university-pyramid, i.e. in the departments and faculties and not at
central planning level. The rationale behind this approach was the assumption that reform would be
more readily carried through when not imposed through hierarchical structures. Project initiation
and management at departmental and faculty level also increased the sense of ownership of
projects. Finally, the Programme as a whole was more likely to respond to the reform needs on the
“shop floor”.

In recent years several special actions have added a top-down aspect to the Programme in areas
where more targeted measures were considered beneficial. In 1997, they included the Tempus
Phare Compact Measures and the top-down orientation was further reinforced during 1999 with a
growing number of institutional development projects being funded in the pre-accession countries.

Another way in which the scope of the programme under Tempus II has been steered towards a
more top-down approach is in the definition of specific priority areas: the ‘National Priorities’.
These reviewed listings reflect the specific needs in the current phase of the overall socio-economic
development of each individual partner country. They are jointly identified by the national
authorities and the Commission and published in the Tempus Guide for Applicants. By using the
priorities as one of the selection parameters, Tempus has been able to continue to develop greater
relevance to the specific processes of reform in each partner country while at the same time giving
applicants guidance in their efforts. In recent years the national priorities have been less focused on
academic subject areas. Instead, they now tend to address more structural issues, such as university
management reform and the modernisation of administrative systems. In this way the national
priorities have become instrumental for gradually reinforcing the top-down element in the Tempus
Programme.

2.2

Projects

Tempus supports cooperation projects between EU Member States and partner countries in Central
and Eastern Europe, the New Independent States and Mongolia in the field of higher education. To
this end the Programme regularly calls for proposals for a variety of project types.

2.2.1 Tempus Phare

The majority of Tempus activities take place within Joint European Projects (JEPs). A JEP is a
multi-lateral cooperation project between at least one higher education institution from an EU
Member State and one other EU Institution from a different Member State together with at least
one higher education institution from a partner country. Universities from other G24 countries,
Malta and Cyprus can participate as associated partners. A Tempus Phare JEP may have a duration
of one (exceptional), two or three years and focus on university management or on the academic
content and quality of higher education.

A second group of projects were the Compact Measures, or CMEs, which aimed to increase
Tempus' impact on the organisational and administrative aspects of higher education. The CME
action was discontinued after 1997 with 102 projects completed in 1999.

During 1999 the Tempus II bis programme developed its activities in line with the orientations of
the Phare programme, which put emphasis on institutional development in the framework of the

6

pre-accession strategy. In the associated countries,
this led to projects often referred to as
“Institution Building projects” being mainly targeted at the improvement of the capacity of the
higher education sector
the ‘acquis
communautaire’. The coverage of Tempus has therefore been expanded; Tempus networks are
increasingly encouraged to invite other partners in society such as national, regional and local
authorities as well as social and industrial partners - to participate in their activities.

to contribute to the adoption and implementation of

For the non-associated Phare countries the emphasis remained on curriculum development and
university management.

Tempus also awards Individual Mobility Grants (IMGs) for the Phare countries. Through these
individual visits of higher education staff, senior Ministry officials and education planners from
East to West and vice-versa can be funded which contribute to the development of higher education
institutions in the partner countries.

Types of IMG activity are organised into three groups:

Development of an institutional approach, which aims through retraining of administrative
staff to improve university management practice.

Participation in the Socrates-Erasmus “Thematic Networks” and other academic associations.

Study visits and teaching staff development.

2.2.2 Tempus Tacis

Tempus Tacis supports Joint European Projects (JEPs) similar to those under Tempus Phare,
apart from the number of project partners which is subject to two or three EU higher education
institutions in at least two separate EU Member States and a maximum of two higher education
institutions in the partner country per JEP. A Tempus Tacis JEP may have a duration of three years.

In 1999 JEPs were eligible for the Russian Federation, Ukraine and Uzbekistan only and aimed at
curriculum development together with the introduction of new management practices in the partner
country higher education establishments.

Compact Projects (CPs) which were available to all countries in 1999 have a duration of two
years and address precisely defined, short-term needs. Activities must focus on curriculum
development, university management or dissemination. Exceptionally the second partner country
institution could be an enterprise or an organisation instead of a higher education institution.

Mobility Projects became available for the first time in 1999 in Georgia (the Russian Federation
was already eligible in 1998). Projects focused on the establishment of a network of institutions,
which could facilitate the implementation of student mobility between EU and partner countries.
Typically consortia were composed of more than the minimum members so as to encourage an
extensive network of institutions.

Tempus Tacis does not feature Individual Mobility Grants.

2.3 Management of the Programme

For the implementation of the scheme, the Commission is assisted by a management committee
composed of two representatives appointed by each Member State and chaired by a Commission
representative. The management committee is referred to as the Tempus Committee.

Technical assistance for the implementation of the programme is provided by the Tempus
Department of the European Training Foundation in Turin following the guidelines of the
European Commission Directorate-General for Education and Culture in Brussels.

¤
¤
In the Phare countries the National Tempus Offices (NTOs) are the programme’s main links to the
national authorities of Central and Eastern Europe and perform parts of
the day-to-day
administration of the Programme.

In the Tacis partner countries a network of Tempus Information Points (TIPs) has been
established in order to ensure appropriate support on the spot. They assist with the implementation
of the Tempus Programme by disseminating information about
the Programme, providing
information on the status of higher education in the partner countries and giving practical support
to project operators.

In the EU Member States, designated National Contact Points (NCPs) assist with the
dissemination of programme information, project submission guidelines and forms, and general
support through, among others, the organisation of workshops and co-ordinators’ meetings.

2.4 Monitoring

With a view to assisting the transition towards Tempus III, in 1999, the Commission reinforced the
monitoring policy for Tempus Phare projects in order to ensure maximum impact of the final “two
year” projects in the candidate countries. This new monitoring policy concerns above all Tempus
Institution Building (TIB) projects.

The new TIB monitoring cycle was strengthened with the implementation of three regional
Contractors’ meetings following the despatch of the 1999 JEP contracts (one meeting for Poland
and the Baltic countries, one meeting for Bulgaria and Romania and one meeting for Hungary,
Slovenia and the Czech and Slovak Republics) where recommendations for the best practice in
each project were discussed. By asking projects to address the outcomes of the meetings, and by
the reinforced monitoring visits in the partner countries carried out by National Tempus Offices,
three aspects of the monitoring policy, i.e. preventive, desk and field monitoring are interactively
combined.

As far as internal monitoring procedures are concerned, the main objective is to ensure that project
implementation is in line with the overall project objective and that projects are implemented in
accordance with Tempus contractual and financial rules.

Desk monitoring activities focus on the reporting obligations (Intermediate Reports, Revised
Budgets and Activity Plans, Progress Reports, Annual and Final Reports and Statements of
Expenditure), by assessing the performance of the project in terms of progress and/or outcomes,
organisation and management, and by checking carefully the financial management.

With the aim of closely monitoring the progress of projects, site visits are carried out to individual
projects as part of the field monitoring actions. Under Tempus Phare a full programme of
monitoring visits is agreed with all NTOs each year. Visits are carried out by NTO staff together -
when possible - with staff from the Foundation. Monitoring visits concentrate on the level of
implementation of the project objectives in the targeted partner institutions, on the project results
and on the identification of factors that might jeopardise the progress of the project towards its
objective. Following each visit, feedback is given to the project partners and recommendations are
made for follow-up. The monitoring visit programme involved a total of 210 visits in all the Phare
countries. Within Tempus Tacis, monitoring visits to JEPs are carried out by the Tacis Monitoring
and Evaluation Team, based on information supplied by the Foundation Programme Managers. The
monitoring visit programme involved a total of 62 visits in all the Tacis countries.

8

Monitoring visits provide a valuable opportunity to assess the impact of Tempus actions at an
institutional level and, if applicable, to judge the appropriateness of Tempus policy within the
institution concerned.

Preventive monitoring actions, such as contractors’ meetings in the partner countries and
correspondence with the project ensure transparency of the procedures and improve dissemination
of information.

2.5

Budget

Two factors determine the total budget available for Tempus activities:

the national Phare and Tacis budgets, which are determined annually by the Commission;

the proportion of Phare or Tacis funds which each of the national authorities allocates for
Tempus activities.

Every year each partner country decides how much of its total Phare or Tacis budget it wishes to
allocate to Tempus activities.

PROGRAMME DEVELOPMENTS IN 1999

3.1

Tempus III – the new phase

On 29 April 1999 the Council of Ministers of the European Union adopted the latest phase of the
programme, « Tempus III ». The new phase of Tempus covers the period 2000-2006. It addresses
two groups of countries: the New Independent States and Mongolia and the non-associated
countries of Central and Eastern Europe namely, Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and the former
Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia.

On 23–24 April 1999, a large conference was organised in Kiev on “Perspectives for EU supported
co-operation in higher education 2000-2006” to which a range of Higher Education actors was
invited (representatives of Ministries, higher education, Tempus support offices etc.) This
conference coincided with the adoption of Tempus III and represented an excellent platform for the
exchange of ideas on future developments in the Programme. As a follow-up to the conference,
conference proceedings were produced.

Under the new phase of the Programme, Tempus seeks to contribute to the reform of higher
education structures,
through targeted projects in clearly
specified areas including University Management, Curriculum Development, Institution Building,
Networking and Mobility Projects. In addition Individual Mobility Grants have been made
available to all countries eligible under Tempus III.

institutions and their management

The Central and Eastern European countries which have signed an Association Agreement with the
European Union, i.e. the candidate countries, are no longer eligible for Tempus funding in the new
phase. They now participate in the Community programmes in the areas of education, training and
youth in the context of pre-accession.

3.2 Exploitation of outputs

the Commission, with the assistance of the Foundation, has been working on
Since 1995,
maximising the value of the Tempus programme through the analysis and dissemination of its
achievements.

In 1999 several publications and events took place in order to increase the visibility of Tempus and
disseminate details on the impact of the programme in all participating countries. Tempus
publications are aimed at the needs of both existing project practitioners and newcomers to the
Tempus Programme

tool for the dissemination of
The Tempus at Work series continues to represent a useful
information on the Tempus programme. Individual country sheets were prepared for both EU
Member States and all partner countries. The sheets contain a valuable source of up-to-date
information on the projects funded in a particular partner country since the beginning of Tempus
and of the participation levels of EU Member States in the various geographic zones.

The 1999 Tempus at Work series includes:

introductory sheets on Tempus Phare and Tempus Tacis

summary sheet on Tempus Challenges and Achievements

12

¤
¤
separate EU country specific sheets

separate Phare country specific sheets

separate Tacis country specific sheets

In 1999 discussions took place concerning the establishment of an Outputs database, which will
provide details on all running and completed Tempus projects and will be Internet deployable.
Tempus has a wealth of project experience and results and clearly there is a need to harness this
information and disseminate to a wider audience. A feasibility study is planned for 2000 as a pre-
cursor to the actual database development.

3.3 Management of projects

In 1999 for the first time under Tempus Tacis the possibility of performing the role of JEP
Coordinator was extended to the Russian Federation and Ukraine.

3.4. Tempus Information Points (TIPs) and National Tempus

Offices (NTOs)

National Tempus Offices in Central and Eastern Europe and Tempus Information Points in the
Newly Independent States and Mongolia continued to provide information to interested institutions
and assistance to exiting projects.

National Tempus Offices exist in all Phare partner countries.

In the Tacis countries Tempus Information Point representatives were present for the whole of
1999 in Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Turkmenistan, Ukraine and
Uzbekistan. TIP support was available for part of the year in Kazakhstan (until May 1999) and
Mongolia (until September 1999). New candidates were identified subsequently, but new contracts
had not been finalised by the end of the year.

New attempts were made to set up a TIP for the Russian Federation. Two potential staff (the
director and the assistant director) were identified in November 1999 but no contract was issued. In
order to ensure that updated information on Tempus was available throughout the territory of the
Russian Federation, close links were developed with the EU Delegation in Moscow and the Tacis
Technical Offices in the different regions.

The status of the various TIPs is heterogeneous. Most TIPs are located within the Tacis Co-
ordinating Units, where the position is usually held by someone already working on other CU
functions, who cannot therefore allocate full-time attention to Tempus. This is the case for
Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. In Belarus and Moldova the TIP
representatives are employed by a local university, whilst the Ukrainian TIP is located within the
EC Delegation in Kiev. Finally, the Armenian TIP has an independent status.

THE 1999 SELECTION ROUNDS

4.1 Overall Tempus budget

The Central and Eastern European national governments allocated a total amount of MEURO 25.85
to Tempus Phare activities in 1999. For the countries participating in Tempus Tacis this figure was
MEURO 20. The table below (Figure 2) shows how the amounts compare to those of earlier years.

Tempus Phare selection results

4.4.1

Joint European Projects

JEP applications are considered for support through a co-operative decision making process which
consists of several different stages. In 1999, as in 1997 and 1998, important responsibilities in the
selection process of JEPs were given to the National Tempus Offices. The rationale behind this was
that
the preparation for
participation of the associated countries in the EU education programmes. In this selection
procedure, the technical assessment of projects was undertaken by the NTOs and the academic

The deadline for submitting JEP and CP applications was 15 March 1999.

Tempus Tacis selection procedure

4.7
Within the framework of the Tempus Tacis programme, the Joint European Project (JEP) and the
Compact Project (CP) are the means by which consortia of institutions in the partner countries of
the New Independent States and Mongolia, the Member States of the European Union and, where
appropriate, other G-24 countries as well as Cyprus and Malta, are encouraged to co-operate in
activities designed to promote the restructuring of higher education in the New Independent States
and Mongolia.

To ensure maximum impact of the funds invested in the Programme great importance is given to
the national priorities particular to each partner country (for the complete list see Tempus Tacis
Guide for Applicants 1999/2000) which are established every year by the Commission in
agreement with the authorities of the respective partner country.

The Tempus Tacis projects are selected by the European Commission with technical assistance
provided by the European Training Foundation. All projects undergo both technical and academic
assessment with the academic assessment being carried out by a pool of academic experts from the
partner countries and the EU Member States.

A final experts’ panel chaired by the Commission and involving EU and NIS experts has been
established in order to discuss applications for which the assessment differed and those where
further advice was sought. The panel then established a provisional ranking of applications for
countries in the Tempus Tacis programme.

The final expert meetings chaired by the Commission have been organised in two sessions, as
follows: EU and NIS expert meeting for UKR and MOL projects held on 29 May 1999 in Kiev and
EU and NIS expert meeting for ARM, AZB, GEO, KAZ, KYR, MNG, RF, TME, UZB projects
held on 28-29 June 1999 in Torino.

The final list of projects proposed to the Commission for funding was chosen on the basis of their
qualitative ranking, co-ordination with other Tacis assistance programmes, balance between
priority areas and an appropriate geographical spread of projects.

This selection process is illustrated in Flowchart 2 on the next page.

Tempus Phare

Joint European Project 12211 - 97

(Albania)

Project data:

Title: Development of University Management

Objective: The project aims at improving management methods at the University of Tirana and the
Polytechnic University of Tirana. This improvement will be achieved through the introduction of
computer support systems in the areas of student registration, personnel administration and finance
administration, and library management. The new computer systems should also support the work of the
office for international relations. In addition, the introduction of a computer-assisted decision-making
system for strategic planning as well as the development of a computer supported information system for
students and students counselling is foreseen.

Partners:
• Universität-Gesamthochschule Siegen (contracting and co-ordinating institution), D
•
• University of Tiranë, Tiranë, ALB
•

Polytechnic University of Tiranë, Tiranë, ALB

Straffordshire University, Stoke-on-Trent, UK

Countries involved in the project:
• Germany
• Albania
• United Kingdom

Duration:

2 years, extended by 6 months (15/12/1997 - 30/06/2000)

Joint European Project 12211 – 97 (continued)

(Albania)

Project description:

Results:
• Student registration: the system is practically complete, it still needs a security system, a help function,
fine-tuning for the production of reports and tools for school-leavers. Data in the old system shall
gradually be transferred to the new software. The administrative staff, which will use the new system,
will be trained.

• Personnel administration and Finance administration: the software have been purchased and adapted
with a one-year guarantee. The two systems are compatible. Representatives of each department of
each participating institution have been trained to use the software, the training should be also offered
to staff of other faculties.

• Library management: the software has been purchased and relevant staff has been trained to use it.
Two networks have been established, one in each of the partner university and should be linked with
two Foundations co-operating with the universities

• Computer supported information system for students and students counselling, upgrading to the Office
for international relations: the work being undertaken for the international relations offices and the
students information system are closely linked. A manual providing guidance to students on
admittance and information on internal regulation of the university is being produced. University
guides and Faculty Guides should be made available to all students. Polytechnic University has
developed the Web Home Page of the University, the same should be completed at Tirana University
in the very near future. Negotiations with SOROS foundation on the establishment of a student
information centre are on going.

• Computer-assisted decision-making system for strategic planning: the main objective is to provide
guidelines for the universities’ administration with regards to the application of the new Law on higher
education and directives from the Ministry of Education. A database, accessible to the authorities, is
being developed.

Dissemination achieved: Activities undertaken in the project are disseminated to other colleagues both
by systematic reports to the Board of the project and by workshops and seminars aimed at colleagues in
related fields at the two universities. Although this project only targeted the Faculty of Natural Sciences at
the University of Tirana, the other faculties have been up-dated on the models in use at the Faculty of
Natural Sciences and hope to purchase the same software.

Sustainability: Considering the very practical aspect of the outcomes of the project (software and
manuals), the sustainability of the results is guaranteed. The specialists in the Faculty of Natural Sciences
and the PUT can ensure maintenance of the products developed and any further work on the software.

Duration:

2 years (15/12/1998 – 14/03/2001)

Project description:

Results:
• First phase of the project : ‘train the trainers’ course - training of future trainers in sports management.
The training programme will consist of 12 modules such as general knowledge, sports and finances,
facility management, HR management, media management, event and project management, sport
organisation management, sound environmental management, sport and new technologies, legal
management, -sponsoring and marketing, other sport related topics as sport medicine, women and
sport, sport science, doping, etc.;
15 experts from H and the EU project partners will contribute to the programme for a group of 15-20
trainees who will act as future trainers;
The ‘train the trainers’ course took place between September ’99 and January 2000 during 8 week-
ends

• Second phase of the project : the delivery of the training programme to the target group will still start
during the life-time of this two years project. The target group consists of a potential of 1800 sport
managers from the governmental and non-governmental sport sector. The Semmelweis University will
keep teaching facilities available for the training programme. After the project end, the programme
will be continued with national funding from the Hungarian Ministry of Youth and Sports. Since 80%
of the target group is located in the province, the possibility of contact classes in regional centres will
be considered. The training programme will be offered twice a year for 20-25 sport managers per
course (175-220 persons to be retrained each year).

Annex 4 – Impact of Tempus, examples of projects

Joint European Project 13359 – 98 (continued)

(Hungary)

Innovative aspects: Hungarian sport policy shifted from elitist approach to a more democratic “sport for
all”. This new direction will be demonstrated in the priority on retraining of mid-career sport managers
graduated before ’89. Re-directing the approach of sport managers towards “sport-for-all” is a key issue
for Hungarian society and i.e. related to the public health policy.

Integration of project results into the undergraduate curricula at the Semmelweis University: The
project results will be integrated into the undergraduate curricula on sports management and a
correspondence course in this subject at the Semmelweis University.

Participation in Tempus III: The Semmelweis University maintains contacts in a number in Tempus III
countries, e.g. in Croatia (Zagreb), Ukraine and Moldova. The Semmelweis University is the Central
European contact institution of the European Network of Sport Sciences in Higher Education, which
functions as an Erasmus Thematic Network. The network has the intention to expand its activities to the
Tempus III partner countries. In relation to Tempus III; the Semmelweis University is ready to accept
experts from Phare non-accession countries and Tacis countries for study visits in order to disseminate
Tempus results and to participate in networking activities.

(Romania)

Curriculum development:

Three new courses in the field of Underwater Technologies have been developed :
• Underwater Technologies
• Underwater Inspection, Upkeeping and Repair
• Authorising Underwater Operators
Different textbooks have been edited and published : two volumes of Underwater Weldinga and another
and Underwater Technologies.

Multimedia teaching materials will be also produced for the ODL teaching.

The new curricula are approved by the Mechanical Engineering Professorial Council from the University
of Galati, the Shipping Electromechanical Faculty Council (Merchand Marine Institute, Galati) and by
the Senates of these institutions. The curriculum will be also submitted for the approval of the Romanian
National Ministry of Education.

The participants of the intensive courses receive a certificate from the Faculty of Mechanics of the
University of Galati and which is recognised by the Ministry of Education.

The new courses are created by a team of Romanian academics and specialists, together with the EU
partners who are very much experienced in the field of underwater technologies.

The new courses will also be introduced in regular curricula at undergraduate and postgraduate level.

Staff mobility:

Within the second year of the project, 19 Romanian academics from the different Romanian partner
institutions have been involved in the staff retraining programme at the EU partners. The main outcome
of the staff mobility was the improvement of the knowledge and teachings skills and the development of
new courses and teaching materials.
