UNITE
University and Industry for the modernization of textile manufacturing sector in Belarus
UNITE project brings together the major players of the textile manufacturing sector in Belarus with partners from European Union countries and aims to build a cooperation framework between Industry and Academia in Belarus, transferring experience and knowhow from Greece, Spain, Portugal, Belgium and Lithuania.
In parallel with the on-going modernisation process of the textile industry in Belarus, UNITE project aims at building capacity of higher education to build partnerships with the sector enterprises and engage in the modernisation process.
The project content and methodology has been designed in a way to allow on one hand transfer of know-how and good practices from EU countries to Belarus and on the other hand active engagement of Belarusian partners and ownership of the project and project results. Therefore in the whole project, the EU partners keep a consulting and supportive role, while the Belarusian partners are more actively involved in the project implementation with activities that are addressing their particular needs and are relevant to the current situation.
