The T-GREEN project addresses the need of reforming graduate education in Armenian in support of the Green Deal and enabling the shift from traditional to future-oriented, green, and interdisciplinary curricula, as well as by promoting student mobility and designing collaborative degree implementation schemes.Capacity building of national and institutional administrators, decision and policymakers, educators, researchers, and students to integrate the Sustainable Development Goals targeting environmental issues into policies and educational content will be the core of the project. Another central objective of the project is to create a network involving national authorities, HEIs and other stakeholders to engage in horizontal and vertical collaboration: to this end the national and institutional regulations fostering joint, double or multiple degree implementation and promoting student mobility, credit transfer and recognition will be enhanced and piloted. Strategic revision of the national list of professions enabling the licensing of new, future-oriented, interdisciplinary, and green master’s degree programs, as well as collaboration structures developed will contribute to further initiatives also beyond the project timeframe.The developed national and institutional toolkit enabling collaboration schemes will be tested with newly developed 3 collaborative green educational programs, as well as 9 existing programs which will be reprofiled with green modules.

The WBL4JOB project aims to enhance partnership between enterprises and HEIs and to increase graduates’ employability through development and implementation of supporting policy, legal framework and generic, flexible Apprenticeships Higher Education Model (AHEM) with the ultimate aim of promoting the work-based learning (WBL) in Armenia and Moldova.The following project outputs/outcomes are expected to be sustainable after the end of the Erasmus+ programme funding:- Apprenticeship Policy and Implementation Toolkit,- 52 trained staff on WBL/apprenticeship policies, schemes and tools, - 60 trained teaching staff/mentors on apprenticeship-oriented teaching/learning, - National Policy for implementation of WBL in HE systems, - 2 AHEMs, including an undergraduate one year apprenticeship based programme “Specialized Licence in Banking and Insurance” (SLBI), - Amendments to national legislations supporting apprenticeship, - 4 equipped universities,- Partnership agreements for activities after lifetime of the project. The expected impact is foreseen on:Institutional level: Implementation of new approaches of apprenticeship, teaching and administrative staff with increased and reinforced competences, relevance of improved education, strong links with enterprises for integrating created knowledge and experience-based learning, increased employability of graduates. National level: reinforced HEIs and company partnership, the establishment of new promoted apprenticeship and WBL schemes, skills matching and better employability of university graduates. Regional level: sparked Experience sharing, networking and promotion of mid and long-term cooperation between the involved partners. European level: Promoted Long-term cooperation between the involved partners leading to convergence in line with EU developments and standards towards fostering the integration of the HEIs from EaP region into the EHEA.

C3QA (Promoting internationalization of research through establishment and operationalization of Cycle 3 Quality Assurance System in line with the European Integration Agenda) is a three-year cross-regional and multi-partner structural project under EAC/A04/2015 call and Key Action 2 - Capacity Building in the Field of Higher Education. Its wider objective is to contribute to the establishment of a knowledge-based society in Armenia, Kazakhstan, Ukraine, and Mongolia through the launch and operationalization of a robust quality assurance system for internationalization of Cycle 3 programs.

The cross-regional nature of the project ensures learning from existing practices, successful experience exchange, long-standing cooperation between the 4 partner country and EU partners – with a major aim of promoting voluntary convergence with EU developments.

The ARMDOCT project addresses an urgent need in Reforming Doctoral Education (DE) in Armenia in line with the Salzburg Principles with the emphasis on policy, legal framework (including by-laws) and institutional procedures supporting integrative and internationally-oriented doctoral studies involving universities, research institutions and industry.The action foresees:• strengthening strategic, infrastructural & human capacities in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) and Institutes of the National Academy of Sciences (SRIs), Ministry of Education and Science of Armenia (MESA); • development of national new policy and legal framework, including by-laws for doctoral education in Armenia and further approval by national Ministry for pilot implementation;• revision of institutional policies, procedures based on the redesigned national regulatory framework and design of the Institutional Handbook for Doctoral Education;• establishment and operationalization of 5 Doctoral Schools creating synergies between HEIs, SRIs and industry;The action is complemented by extensive dissemination & networking activities. The partnership of 15 members comprises 4 EU HEIs, 8 HEIs and 2 SRIs from AM and the Ministry of Education and Science of Armenia. Expected impact on the international and national levels is seen as contribution to the reform and modernization of DE in line with the Salzburg principles enabling better integration to the European Higher Education and European Research Areas. The precise and clear institutional procedures and guidelines of DE will improve the transparency and accountability of the institutions. The involvement of MESA ensures project impact on policy level and provides modernisation at national development strategies.
