European project desigN and management In the South MediTerranean region

The project aims to address the priority of the Internationalization of Higher Education Institutions (HEI) in countries in the South-Mediterranean region focusing on Lebanon, Jordan and Libya.

The project’s wider objective is to enable South Mediterranean Partner Country HEIs to build durable international partnerships and maximize their internationalization efforts. It will develop a comprehensive training programme for 24 participants from 8 selected Partner Country HEIs with a total of 8 training of trainers’ sessions and 8 practical placements taking place in European universities in 2017.

This will equip staff in Partner Country HEIs with the necessary skills to successfully set up and run an “EU project design and management unit” and hold internal training sessions within their HEIs.

These training sessions will be developed into Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) accessible via the project website for staff from other HEIs in the region. The selected Partner Country HEIs will then set up a regional EuNIT network to promote the exchange of good practices, use of MOOCs and also offer training sessions for staff from other HEIs in the region in EU project design and management.
