"The overall wider objective, to which the project will contribute, is to continue the reform of the system of higher education in the area of applied Physical sciences (Environmental science) in Egypt to comply with the Bologna Declaration and according to the demands of the Strategic Framework for European Cooperation in Education and Training (ET 2020), aimed at improving of the quality and efficiency of educational process.The aim of the project is to ensure the design and implementation of an interdisciplinary Master degree study programme ""Smart Environment and Climate Change Management"" through conduction of joint interdisciplinary research, devoted to the synergy between theory and practice in sustainable development, in order to support Egypt with the integration of emerging technologies in environment management in a competence-based education system, hence advancing higher education according to the Bologna Process and European standards for quality of education.The objectives and foreseen outcomes of the proposed project: - to design Master degree study programme curriculum integrated with the European education and research systems, in order to establish international standards of academic knowledge;- to involve researchers and practitioners into communication and to establish their joint participation in the educational process and research;- to train the academic staff of EG universities to be able to use a Master degree ""Smart Environment and Climate Change Management"";- to establish mechanisms and evaluation criteria that give a full analysis of the education process and content of courses as well as help to identify their strengths and weaknesses;- to implement innovative learning methods and a new collaboration platform for learning and academic environment to support the educational process;- to demonstrate the benefits of education based on the principles of Bologna process and European standards of quality in education."

Beyond teaching history, science or languages, teachers guide our children… shaping the attitudes, skills, & values they will use in the world beyond the classroom (Her Majesty Queen Rania Al Abdullah)Early Childhood Education is considered an important base for life-long learning & whole person development & the most important & most vital of all stages in the proper development of a child whether is in the emotional, behavioral or cognitive domain. Early years of child life are crucial as it is of the utmost importance in the child's physical, emotional & intellectual development.In line with the current digital era, teachers are required to integrate ICT in their daily teaching &replace their traditional methods with modern tools &facilities. (ICT4EDU) proposal addresses the need in Jo-HEIs for newly graduated student teachers to be able to teach using ICT, & for improving teachers & students digital competence, especially when dealing with children with special educational needs or disabilities, ICT plays a key role to facilitate their education process. Carrying out (ICT4EDU) project trans-nationally is essential for under-setting practices, & impacting policies & curricula in school of educational sciences & the integration of ICT teacher education to meet the requirements for digitally competent youth & children. The Main objective of (ICT4EDU) project in to enhance the quality of ICT competencies of early childhood teacher’s educators in the (8) higher education institutions in Jordan, Palestine and Egypt in line with advance EU practices, thereby enhancing the quality of the education in pre-schools in Jordan, Palestine and Egypt.

"Crop protection science deals with plant disease, pests and pesticides misuse that cause significant economic losses in crop production in Egypt and the world. Qualified expert is responsible to apply phytosanitary control measure and serve as ""plant doctor"" operate the plant clinic and provide services to crop producers. Crop protection is going to a rapid modernization and expansion as a result of global investment in sustainable agriculture, food security and environmental protection. The problem is “qualifications mismatch” as phenomena of HE graduates integration to deal professionally in labour market of crop protection job area. #The overall objective of the project #To establish a new joint professional diploma programme in plant clinic and phytosanitary technologies for the first time in Egypt at 6 agriculture higher education institutions to strengthen skills of students, graduates and employee in agriculture sector to match crop protection labour market needs.;# The major outcomes/results are• Network in the Plant Clinic and Phytosanitary among Egypt partner institutes• New PRO-PDPC centers with plant clinic unit (6) established each partner institute in Egypt• Trained staff on pedagogical and ECTS system, modern Plant Clinic Techniques at EU partner universities• Accreditation of the new diploma program (PRO- DPCP) with new and updated modules by late 2021.-This project will enhance the integration of Egyptian partner institutions in global education market; integrate the main EU expert knowledge in BG, IT and HU education and will create a sustainable network between universities in the field of plant protection. As well as it would impact wide range of stakeholder in crop protection areas of science by means of offered innovative courses and advanced specialized training. Therefore, this diploma is expected to offer its future specialists better chances to compete in the national and international market dealing with plant health."

Climate projections for the Middle East and North African (MENA) region indicate warmer and drier conditions with increased frequency of natural disasters. Agriculture is one of the most vulnerable economic sectors to climate change, mainly due to the limited availability of water and land resources in the two target MENA countries (Egypt and Jordan). There is future risk of higher skills shortages in ‘niche’ areas related to the impact of climate change to agricultural sectors and food production. In particular, there is need for highly specialised scientists in the field of agriculture and food security who want to combine scientific and social or policy skills to better understand and make significant contributions to climate adaptation and mitigation in agriculture and food security. It is critical to integrate agricultural science with related subjects that impact on sustainability and food security such as geo-politics, legislation and regulation, consumer pressures, economics, agro-ecology and environmental stewardship, especially at the post-graduate level. An inter/multidisciplinary MSc programme in Climate Change, Agricultural Development and Food Security (CCSAFS) is urgently needed. CCSAFS is driven by the Bologna process and a multi-stakeholder approach advanced through a participatory or negotiated curriculum, innovative methodologies such as the 10Cs transversal skills in a problem-based learning environment enabled by ICTs, blended learning, SDGs and agro-food entrepreneurship in teaching, learning and outreach activities. Graduates will be equipped with interdisciplinary knowledge and agro-food entrepreneurship and ethics to promote sustainable agricultural production, food security and climate change adaptation. CCSAFS will help to overcome the threats to agriculture and food security in a changing climate, exploring new ways of helping vulnerable rural communities to compact hunger and adjust to local, regional and global changes in climate.
