Overview

Capacity-building projects in the field of higher education support the modernisation and internationalisation of higher education in countries outside Europe - Partner Countries. These projects build on the success of the Alfa, Edu-link and Tempus programmes.

These projects aim to encourage cooperation in order to support Partner Countries in addressing challenges in the management and governance of their higher education institutions. This includes improving the quality of higher education, developing new and innovative education programmes, modernising higher education systems through reform policies as well as fostering cooperation across different regions of the world through joint initiatives.
