At the start of the project the consortium consisted of 9 members – 3 European universities, 3 Russian and 3 Ukrainian universities. The consortium was tailored to offer varied levels & types of experience in training and internationalization related to particular skills; all universities have proven solid experience and seek to work together in consortium. The consortium encompassed different countries, which were able to create an effective educational and research network:
1. Universities from EU Member States - University of Zagreb, University of Maribor and Higher School of Social Technologies in Riga. These Universities have particular experience in adopting of their national legal systems and state structure to International and EU legal rules, their application and management. European universities cover the EU from its south (Croatia, Slovenia) to its north (Latvia). Slovenian and Croatian institutions are classical universities with long-standing academic traditions, whereas Higher School of Social Technologies in Riga has been set up more recently being oriented on interdisciplinary research.
2. Ukraine was represented by three universities: Donetsk National University, National University "Odessa Law Academy" and Taurida National V.I. Vernadsky University. These institutions are the main educational and scientific centers of the country. They are successfully geographically located in different regions of Ukraine. This advantage will equally involve all students wishing to study for a double degree within the framework of the proposed project.
3. The consortium of Russian institutions was selected taking into account two paramount criteria: to match the need analysis and Russian geography. The Russia was thus represented by Kazan (Volga region) Federal University, Voronezh State University and Tyumen State University.
Eventually some of the consortium members withdrew from the project. Considering political situation in Simferopol, Taurida National V.I. Vernadsky University was suspended by EACEA on November 3, 2014 and officialy withdrew on May 5, 2015. It's no longer a part of the project. Higher School of Social Technologies in Riga stopped participating actively in December 2015. Even though it never formally withdrew from the project, EACEA was notified about that circumstance.
The project was successfully finished on May 31, 2017 by seven-member consortium consisted of: University of Zagreb, University of Maribor, Vasyl' Stus Donetsk National University in Vinnytsa, National University "Odessa Law Academy", Kazan (Volga region) Federal University, Voronezh State University and Tyumen State University.
