MODEST is a three-year project aimed at modernizing doctoral studies in science in partner countries. The wider aim of the project is to improve the opportunities for doctoral cooperation between partner countries' higher education institutions in the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) and the European Research Area (ERA).

The aim of the MODEST project is to improve the quality of doctoral studies in engineering by modernizing the curriculum, optimizing doctoral studies, promoting the supervision of scientific research and increasing academic mobility. In order to achieve sustainable results, it is planned to develop web platforms and a virtual network using different approaches and information and communication methods.
