Preparatory measures for the start-up of the project
Lead partners: ALU, TyuSU
SUMMARY
The legal framework for efficient running of the project created: the Partnership Agreements signed; internal documentation regulating role distribution, responsibilities and structures on the institutional level signed by the rectors.
The kick-off meeting held at TyuSU in March 2016: work plan revised; a grant management workshop organized; the communication strategy discussed (see Activity 3).
Inter-disciplinary Working Groups (IWG) set up on a vertical level (in each PI), and on the horizontal level (trans-institutional WG), each centred around a specific task; their members trained at seminars, workshops and discussion sessions. More…

WP 2.
Design of methodology for TWRM and IALP: ALU, TSU, ENU
SUMMARY
2.1. A knowledge pool for TWRM created
2.2. Methodology for TWRM developed
2.3. Strategy for interaction with industry designed
The established IWGs and TWG-s including staff from academic and non-academic partners were the main facilitators in designing methodology for building Industry-Academia Learning Partnerships (IALPs).
As a result:
WP 2.1
An interdisciplinary knowledge pool for transboundary water resources management (TWRM) created:
- a questionnaire (Questionnaire_rus; Questionnaire_eng) jointly designed;
- the needs analysis (Needs Analysis in the Water sector of Region Tomsk_TSU; Institutional Paradigm of TWRM in the River Irtysh Basin IWEP) carried out;
- reports available on the project websites; (Report on the implementation of the project at EKSU; Contents of the Summary Report of the Lead Partner for WP 2);
- a ‘puzzle catalogue’ of the relevant for TWRM courses at PC universities created;
- TWRM-specific qualifications framework designed, incorporating experience of previous EU projects
- Qualifications Framework Water Management (http://www.qualfeem.org/qualfeem/ProjectOutcome.php; http://www.omgau.ru/international/programs/elfrus/#about )
- information resources partially compiled, including 4 data bases on: key actors in the water management sector in RF and KZ; legislation, policies and practices in TWRM; technologies of water management; ecological and socio-economic issues.

WP 2.2
On the basis of the good practices identified in discussions with the EU partners and water industry representatives, the strategy for establishing IALPs developed, built around a continuous dialogue with relevant stakeholders in the form of round table discussions, consultations and regular surveys, which has enhanced awareness of comparative contexts for TWRM and increased mutual understanding and has led to the development of recommendations for TWRM methodology
