PACTUM Project aims at providing a high-quality, multidisciplinary and stimulating one-year master programme in social, political and behavioural sciences. The goal here is to develop an innovative approach that might create positive effects both for the Tunisian teaching staff and the students. With regard to the former, the opportunity to establish and cultivate contacts with important European universities and professors could be relevant to learn new methodological techniques and develop a broader and more comparatives approach to the study of social, and more specifically political, sciences. In a similar way, also European instructors might benefit much from Tunisian academic staff, due to their skills and knowledge of the cultural and political environment.

 

The main milestones are the following:

• The Catalogue of good practices in the field of social political and behavioural sciences to be completed by the first year.
• The offering of a Summer School each year of the project as activity in synergy with the Master Course in order to recruit students and set up teaching activities.
• The piloting of the Master Course starting from the first year.

Some general indicators to measure the achievement of the objectives are the following:

• Number of Tunisian staff members trained
• Number of Tunisian people trained through teaching and learning activities;
• Number of partners meeting organised and successful finalised;
• Number of institutions, organisations, other universities involved in public events and outreach-dissemination activities;
• Number of access to the project website;
• Number of followers in the social-media project profiles;
