Since the start of the programme in 1994 European Commission has allocated 22,16 million euro for financing 79 Tempus projects in Uzbekistan.
Tempus II: 6.14 million euro (1994-2000)
Tempus III: 11.3 million euro (2000-2006)
Tempus IV: 3.6 million euro (2008-2010)
During the period of the programme implementation 45 higher education institutions (HEIs) and 38 non-academic organisations throughout the country, in cooperation with more than 100 universities from 20 European Union countries, have participated in programme activities.
In the framework of Tempus III (2000-2006) 122 people have benefited of Individual Mobility Grants (IMGs).
The biggest number of Tempus projects in Uzbekistan has supported the development of new curricula and courses for Masters’ and Bachelors’ programmes, mainly in the field of engineering and applied technologies, ensuring their relevance to the local labor market needs through direct involvement of enterprises, branch ministries and other non-academic organisations. Curricula Development Projects were especially important because of their direct links to the National Programme for Personal Training (NPPT) and in particular with the introduction of the two-level higher education system.
At the beginning of 2011 10 Tempus projects (7JP & 3SM) with participation of 8 HEIs of Tashkent and 9 HEIs from 6 regions of the country (Samarkand, Bukhara, Khorezm, Kashkadarya, Andijan and Fergana) are being implemented in Uzbekistan. 17 Uzbek HEIs in cooperation with 48 EU Universities from 18 EU countries and 7 non-academic partners are participating in carrying out of the projects. Ministry of Higher and Secondary Specialised Education is a member of three project consortia. The most active participants are: Tashkent University of Information Technologies, Fergana Polytechnic Institute, National University of Uzbekistan, Tashkent Chemical-Technological Institute, Bukhara State University, Urgench State University and Karshi Engineering Economic Institute.
