This eMWRE project aims at improving the existing MSc curricula in partner universities and develop eLearning curriculum for the eMaster program in water resources engineering to equip future professionals and scientists in Partner countries with the technical and managerial knowledge and skills they need to solve the current and future water challenges using innovative solutions. The project also aims at developing an eLearning platform to promote joint research, develop and educate on Open Source Software and Open Access data for Integrated Water Resources Management.The major outcomes of eMWRE are the development of an eLearning MSc. program in Water Resources Engineering (WRE), a set of professional eTraining modules and eLearning platform for water resources management and open software tools. The master programme will be implemented in the four Partners universities, where the curriculum, eCourses, and eTraining modules will be developed jointly by the project consortium. The project will contribute to the capacity development of water sector and open education in partners countries to advance their economy and social welfare. At the same time, aim of the project is to promote socially-equitable and gender-balanced access to education.Graduates of the eMSc program and professionals enrolled in the training modules will have acquired a comprehensive knowledge to successfully plan, design, operate and manage water resources projects; and advice and support authorities in decision-making and the development of policies and regulations that enhance the sustainable use and re-use of water, the equitable distribution and the conservation of the local, regional and global water resources using the latest technologies. The eLearning platform will be developed using emerging facilities and technologies for cloud computing to provide easy access and easy use to data and open source software, courses and training materials for water resources applications.

This Project aims to build capacity and enhance human skills of Palestinian academics, fresh graduates, and technicians to support the establishment and operations of smart cities in Palestine, and hence reduce unemployment. The Project will focus on three fields that are considered enablers for smart cities; IT Security, Telecoms and Computer Networks, and Smart Grid. The specific objectives of this project are: I. Developing & Delivering Academic courses to enhance knowledge & skills of university studentsII. Developing & Delivering tutorials to fresh graduates, private & public sector employees in order to help bridge the gap between academia and industryIII. Delivering the courses and tutorials via e-learning to guarantee flexible & wider deliveryIV. Increase cooperation between academia & industry.V. To promote entrepreneurship and encourage students and trainees to be job creatorsVI. Sustain lifelong learning by establishing an e-Academy which will also ensure academia-industry partnershipTo achieve the objectives, partners including public bodies will firstly identify the exact needs. Then study tours for PS academics will be organized by EU partners in order to gain knowledge and identify learning resources. After that PS and EU professor in collaboration with EU partners will develop university courses and society tutorials. The developed material will be delivered to students and trainees, and then they will be revised. After that some of the developed material will be adapted for VLE environment.Provoking academia-industry cooperation will include many activities like joint supervision of projects, internships, projects incubations, and Faculty to Factory program. The e-Academy will be established to maintain good relationship with industry. It will also maintain and promote the developed material to larger communities. The dissemination of the project will be guaranteed by a web portal, leaflets, dissemination workshops and others means.

The FORC project has sought to build capacities to develop integrated curricula in forensic computing as pathways within the undergraduate degrees of the faculties of Information Technology and Law, using a student-centred adaptive learning approach based on the Bologna Process. It has developed pathways, integrated within the current curricula, to bring continuity and achieve harmony across the programmes. This pathway has met the multidisciplinary needs of two domains - computing and law - and its uniqueness can be linked to the commitment of the consortium to develop an innovative, user-centred adaptive learning to create integrated curricula. In this way, the four universities can integrate the newly-developed courses within their degrees, addressing variations, yet meeting their own specified key learning outcomes. The importance of forensic computing as an integral part of the undergraduate training is critical to advance the forensic computing domain towards evidence-based practices in the region, which is still at an early stage. These skills are essential to solidify the more profound understanding of the value and importance of forensic computing not only to their speciality, but also their profession, work, and practice. They promote the uptake and implementation of forensic computing to become an essential part of their profession as enabling mechanisms to improve the quality of computing. Thus, on the one hand, a key objective of FORC has been to develop the capacity of faculty members in forensic computing and create undergraduate pathways to ensure sustainability and lasting impact. On the other hand, the established forensics labs can generate a significant impact not only for students but also for professional of non-academic institutions.

The PENS project seeks to build capacities to develop a new curricula in enterprise systems engineering as a new undergraduate program, using a student-centred adaptive learning approach based on the bologna processes. The project will develop 8 courses in total and four tutorials. Also it promote entrepreneurship education. These new Pathway in Enterprise systems engineering will be deployed at the four participating partner universities, two in Palestine (P4: AQU, P5:BZU) and two in Tunisia (P7:US, P8:UM). The uniqueness of this approach, that to meet the multidisciplinary needs of the two domains (engineering and system thinking), it will develop an innovative user-centred adaptive learning to create a new curricula and enable the four universities to implement developed program within their degrees addressing variations, yet meeting their own specified key learning outcomes. The importance of enterprise systems engineering to be part of the undergraduate training as integral part of their educational skills, is critical to advance the ICT sector towards evidence-based practices, in the region, which is currently developing. These skills are essential to solidify the deeper understanding of the value and importance of enterprise engineering not only to their specialty, but also their profession, work and practice. They will promote the uptake and implementation of enterprise system engineering to become essential part of their profession as enabling mechanisms to improve the quality of ICT. Thus one key objective of PENS is to develop capacity of members of faculty in enterprise systems engineeing and create undergraduate program to ensure sustainability and lasting impact.
