ProInCa – Promoting the Innovation Capacity of Higher Education in Nursing During Health Services’ Transition – is a project co-funded by the Erasmus+ Capacity Building in the Field of Higher Education Programme.
The logo was designed to capture the spirit of collaboration so essential to the success of this project. The 3 overlapping circles represent the 3- year project length, with the overlapping of the circles representing the joint collaboration of all of the participants in the ProInCa project. The “I” that is in the shape of a triangle is symbolic of the ProInCa project and knowledge triangle, with the flame on top giving the logo representation of the lamp commonly associated with Florence Nightingale and reminds us that this project has the opportunity and responsibility of lighting the way for strengthening higher education systems in nursing. The blue and yellow colors reflect the colors of Kazakhstan as can be seen in the Republic of Kazakhstan national flag.
