The CBHE action, supports international cooperation projects based on multilateral partnerships between organisations active in the field of higher education.
Projects under this Strand shall introduce new approaches and initiatives in higher education, based on peer learning and transfer of experience and good practice affecting not only the institutions but also the society at large.
Detailed Call Description
Projects under this Strand shall address the different state of advancement and challenges of HEIs located in eligible third countries not associated to the programme, enhance the impact of the programme and where relevant complement other sources of funding. Partnerships for transformation in higher education are complex and innovative capacity building projects based on a transfer of experience, competencies and good practice with a range of interconnected activities that aim to strengthen the capacities of the targeted HEIs to address the 21st century challenges such as migration, climate change, governance and shifts towards a digital economy. The projects’ outcomes should have a significant and long-term impact on the targeted HEIs beyond the projects’ lifetime and as such benefitting the society as a whole. In particular, these projects will combine the following elements for the benefit of HEIs in the third countries not associated to the Erasmus+ programme:
- Innovation in higher education: in order to enhance its relevance for the labour market and the society. It is
expected that the proposed projects address mismatches between the requirements of employers and the offer of higher education institutions and propose integral solutions to enhance better employability of students. - Promoting reform in HEIs: to become catalysts of economic and social development in the third countries not associated to the programme. Projects should support HEIs to develop and implement the institutional reforms that will make them more democratic, inclusive, equitable and full-fledged constituents of the civil society.
The proposed activities are shown in the programme guide page 296.
