Capacity Building in Higher Education
HEIs of Kazakhstan can take part in Capacity Building in Higher Education (CBHE) projects both, as a partner and a coordinator under the Key action 2. CBHE projects support the relevance, quality, modernisation and responsiveness of higher education in third countries not associated to the Programme in addressing socio-economic recovery, growth and prosperity and reacting to recent trends, in particular economic globalisation but also the recent decline in human development, fragility, and rising social, economic and environmental inequalities.
CBHE projects are implemented under three strands:
|
Strand |
Duration of project |
Grant amount |
|
Strand 1: Fostering access to cooperation in higher education Designed to attract less experienced HEIs and small-scale actors to the CBHE action to facilitate access to newcomer organisations. These partnerships should act as a first step for HEIs and organisations with a smaller operational capacity located in third countries not associated to the Programme to access and increase means to reach out to people with fewer opportunities. This Strand will finance small-scale projects to reduce the internationalisation gap among HEIs from eligible third countries not associated to the Programme, from the same country or Region. |
24 or 36 months |
200 000 – 400 000 EUR |
|
Strand 2: Partnerships for transformation Projects under this Strand shall introduce new approaches and initiatives in higher education, based on peer learning and transfer of experience and good practice affecting not only the institutions but also society at large. The projects’ outcomes should have a significant and long-term impact on the targeted HEIs beyond the projects' lifetime and as such benefit society as a whole. |
24 or 36 months |
400 000 – 800 000 EUR |
|
Strand 3: Structural reform projects Projects under this Strand shall support efforts in third countries not associated to the Programme to develop coherent and sustainable systems of higher education to meet their socio-economic needs and broad ambition to create a knowledge-driven economy. Mainstreaming and upscaling of successful results as well as synergies with ongoing or pipeline support in the area under bilateral support programmes are also elements of this Strand. Structural Reform projects will address the needs of eligible third countries not associated to the Programme to support sustainable systemic and structural improvement and innovation at the level of the higher education sector. |
36 or 48 months |
600 000 – 1 000 000 EUR |
