Within the work plan of Erasmus+ LISS24 project NPUA Team Leader and the Project National Coordinator Ruben Aghgashyan and the Team members Artur Zaprosyan, Lida Aghajanyan and Gor Martirosyan, together with the other project partners, had a Grand Study Tour in Finland on June 20-24, 2024, combining two interlinked programs.

The tour started with two intensive days of meetings and trainings, hosted by Turku University of Applied Sciences (TUAS) and continued with the rest of the week spent in Helsinki, where the project partners observed and actively participated in the European Sales Competition organized this year by Haaga-Helia University of Applied Sciences.

The agenda included also discussions on project management and coordination, insights into establishing sales laboratories at partner universities, and organizing their own sales “game-competitions”. The participants had the pleasure of brief introductions from the TUAS Rector Vesa Taatila and the Vice Rector Juhani Soini.

From May 20 to 24 of this year, within the framework of the on-going at the National Polytechnic University of Armenia (NPUA) Erasmus+ “LISS24” project, took place an exploratory visit of the project NPUA and the Armenian National coordinator Prof. Ruben Aghgashyan, along with the leaders of the project “academic” components, Lida Aghajanyan, Gohar Martirosyan, and Arthur Zaprosyan to Finland. The visit comprised two interconnected working phases.

Theoretical and practical exercises, discussions on project management and coordination issues, a visit to a specialized B2B Sales laboratory, and practical participation in the finals of the European B2B Sales inter-university student annual competition were planned to implement by the visit program.
