The Capacity Building in Higher Education (CBHE) action supports international cooperation projects based on multilateral partnerships between organisations active in the field of higher education.
The activities and outcomes of CBHE projects must be geared to benefit the eligible third countries not associated to the Programme and their higher education institutions and systems.
Objectives of the Action:
- Improve the quality of higher education and enhance its relevance for the labour market and society;
- Improve the level of competences, skills and employability potential of students in HEIs by developing new, relevant and innovative education programmes;
- Promote inclusive education, equality, equity, non-discrimination and the promotion of civic competences in higher education;
- Enhance the teaching, assessment mechanisms for HEI staff and students, quality assurance, management, governance, inclusion, innovation, knowledge base, digital and entrepreneurial capacities, as well as the internationalisation of HEIs;
- Increase the capacities of HEIs, bodies in charge of HE and competent authorities to modernise their higher education systems, particularly in terms of governance and financing, by supporting the definition, implementation and monitoring of reform processes;
- Improve the training of teachers and continuous professional development in order to impact the longer term quality of the education system;
- Stimulate cooperation of institutions, capacity building and exchange of good practice;
