Impact of the partnership(s) in the region What’s in it for your university? • Improving visibility of your institution: local, regional, (inter)national
level • Recruiting highly qualified third country students and researchers • Create or reinforce a strong cooperation network with EU and TC
partners • Facilitate the exchange of good practices and innovation processes • Secure financial support for your inter-university mobility activities
Impact of the partnership(s) in the region
• Create synergy with other HEIs, enterprises, Chambers of Commerce, local authorities, Erasmus Mundus Assocciation… to increase impact
• Join forces to provide a more general and bigger picture on the impact in the relevant region;
• Stimulate the development of multi-lateral initiatives • Can serve as an opportunity to make use of the network of peers • Collaborative and joint programmes development • Cross participation to European networks and programmes (H2020,
Erasmus +, T.I.M.E.…) and Chinese networks and programmes (Campus Asia, CSC…)
Examples: • 5 Consortia meeting of the Call 35/08 – 2009: China Lot 14 • Joint Workshop on Academic Recognition and Credit Transfer (Nov. 2014) in Cambodia •Other projects : Tuning, EGRACONS, Heion,…
→ testimonials → impact/benefits of mobility on employability → workshops : expertise on specific matters e.g. Tuning – associate in Lotus – talked about credit transfer in general & China Tuning project during the 5 Consortia meeting in Beijing.
Impact of the partnership(s) in the region
Sustainability
Outputs can be maintained after the project has ended: • Address sustainability at 3 levels: ‣ financially (staff, fees or other revenues, possibly from industry etc.) ‣ institutionally (accreditation, official approval within university etc.) ‣ at policy level (impact on legislation, procedures etc.)
• Ensure that a sufficient number of staff is trained and that the training is sufficiently long to enable them to have an impact.
Sustainability: Erasmus Mundus Action 2 Erasmus +
Key Action 1 – Individual mobility - Inter-Institutional agreements with partner universities from the
EMA2 partnerships; Key Action 2 – Cooperation - Capacity building project (NutriSEA)
