Priorities and funded actions

Objectives

  • To attract less experienced HEIs and small-scale actors to the CBHE action to facilitate access to newcomer organisations;
  • To make these partnerships act as a first step for HEIs and organisations with a smaller operational capacity located in third countries not associated to the programme to access and increase means to reach out to people with fewer opportunities.

Priorities 

  • Priority 1: Finance small-scale projects to reduce the internationalisation gap among HEIs from eligible third countries not associated to the programme, from the same country or Region;
  • Priority 2: Establish partnerships to develop cooperation ideas as well as to facilitate transfer of know-how, experience and good practices, fostering access to capacity building opportunities and improving social inclusion and the access of students/staff with fewer opportunities to a qualitative higher education offer.

Among financed actions 

  • Activities aiming at enhancing the management/administrative capacity of the targeted HEIs such as:
    • reforming and modernising the university governance, including the enhancement of services in particular for the benefit of students (student guidance, counselling and job orientation etc.);
    • establishing or strengthening international relations offices and elaborating internationalisation strategies;
    • establishing new or developing existing quality assurance units and processes/strategy within HEIs;
    • creating or increasing the capacity of planning and evaluation units;
    • enhancing mechanisms for communication and dissemination of results from international cooperation projects;
    • building capacities to support students and staff mobility activities.
  • Activities aiming at ensuring high quality and relevant education such as:
    • modules or study programmes, technical or professional orientations of programmes;
    • establishing intensive study programmes bringing together students and teaching staff from participating HEIs for shorter study periods;
    • developing capacities for postgraduate students and academic staff as well as promoting postgraduate students and/or staff mobility;
    • implementing training courses for HEI academic staff;
    • creating synergies and strengthening the links with the business sector and with private or public organisations active in the labour market and in the fields of education, training and youth.
  • Activities aiming at increasing the accessibility of the students/staff with fewer opportunities such as:
    • developing remote and inclusive learning pathways and opportunities by relying on digital technology and e-learning for vulnerable students;
    • updating the digital technology to develop specific services aiming at ensuring equal and fair learning opportunities to students with disabilities;
    • promoting initiatives aiming at positive discrimination by empowering women and ethnic/religious minorities;
    • develop initiatives addressing and reducing barriers faced by disadvantaged groups in accessing learning opportunities;
    • contributing to creating inclusive environments that foster equity and equality, and that are responsive to the needs of the wider community.
