Erasmus+ Capacity Building in Higher Education 2018 Key Action 2: Cooperation for innovation and the exchange of good practices Capacity Building in the Field of Higher Education 2018 (147 Selected Projects) Erasmus+ Capacity Building in Higher Education 2018 REFERENCE : 597795-EPP-1-2018-1-BE-EPPKA2-CBHE-JP TITLE: Research-based curriculum development in molecular and materials sciences Description: This project aims to reinforce the staff and lab capacity, thereby enhancing the quality of education and training programmes in molecular and materials sciences (MMS) at four Vietnamese universities: Can Tho University, Quy Nhon University, University of Education – The University of Danang and Hanoi National University of Education. This will be done through intensive collaborations with three European universities: KU Leuven, University of Twente and University of Rostock. The main objective of this project is to develop research-based modules in MMS, which will be integrated into the current curricula in chemistry and physics at the four Vietnamese partner universities (VPU). 24 courses in MMS will be adapted by professors from the European partner universities (EPU), who will be responsible for teaching these courses in this project. At the end of the project, four research-based curricula in MMS are developed. This project emphasizes the staff exchange between the VPU and the EPU. In addition to the visits of EPU professors to deliver the courses at the four VPU, young staff of VPU will be visiting EPU to follow scientific and soft-skills training courses for two months. By following the courses given by EPU professors and experts, knowledge in MMS and teaching experiences and skills of VPU staff are improved, which is needed for VPU staff to take over the 24 courses in the following years. The project also focuses on the improvement of academic English for both staff and students at the four VPU. For this purpose, specialized English courses will be designed and given by experts from EPU. In addition, to implement the research-based curricula, a portion of upto 30% of the project budget will be used to upgrade the lab facilities at the four VPU. Moreover, to raise public awareness about the role of science and to attract students to start science education, especially students from remote areas in Vietnam, appropriate plans for dissemination are designed.

Description: Problem & Needs:(1) Egypt (over 90 million) has the largest epidemic of Liver Hepatitis Virus C (HCV prevalence = 14.7%) in the world. This is 10 times greater than any other country. In Upper Egypt, the HCV prevalence is 16%. (2) More than 10% of the total population are infected and are infectious to others & Transmission of HCV is continuing each year (165,000). (3) There is NO justification for Egyptians to be tested for liver diseases. The HCV awareness programs in Egypt do not work. (5) Assiut University Hospital is the core referral center for Upper Egypt that serves 10 Governorates (25 million). (6) The present post-graduate curricula in faculties of Medicine and Nursing, in Assiut University suffer from: A complete absence of Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary(HPB) Diseases & Liver Transplant education & training programs.(7) Assiut University Liver Hospital: 1) needs its own professional medical & nursing staff whom are specialist in managing “Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary (HPB) Diseases & Liver Transplant”, 2) needs a Capacity building of its health care providers (Medical, Nursing & Administrative staff), 3) needs to cooperation with Ministry of Health to face the Egyptian Liver Problem. Project Outputs:[1] Modernize of Teach/Learn & Train Resources. [2] Network & Video Conferences & Web Site design.[3] Capacity building of health care providers (Medical, Nursing & Administ. staff) in the field of “Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary(HPB)Diseases & Liver Transplant"(TOT), [4]Networking of Egyptian & EU and international medical centers specialized in Medical and Nursing Sciences. [5]Develop New: (1) Professional Diploma Courses in Medicine & Surgery of Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary(HPB)Diseases & Liver Transplant (2) Joint Master & Joint Professional Diploma Courses in Nursing care of Patients of Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary(HPB)Diseases & Liver Transplant, Compatible to EU Standards.

Water as the basic resource incorporated into functioning of different sectors requires innovative, interdisciplinary, structural, and trans-boundary approach - strong coordination and cooperation across countries and across sectors. Western Balkan (WB) partner countries i.e. Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro and Kosovo* on their path to EU accession should harmonize procedures with EU water management requirements in line with Chapter 27 - to converge national rules and standards towards a single framework of EU water legislation. The wider objective of the SWARM project is to improve the quality of higher education in Water Resources Management (WRM) field, strengthen its relevance for the labour market and society, enhancing the level of competences and skills of experts for WRM in WB partner countries by developing new competence-based and improvement of existing master curricula in line with EU trends. This wider objective is fully compliant with the priorities of the Capacity Building projects within the Erasmus+ program. Besides day-by-day visible outcomes (reports, analyses, trainings, action plans, etc.), more prominent outputs showing to what extent the project objectives are met will be: - Developed/modernized master curricula and modules in WB partner HEIs, in accordance with the highest EU standards, - Contemporary equipped laboratories for studies in the field of WRM, - Enrollment of students to the new master curricula, -Developed and conducted for professionals in water sector. Since the background for the foreseen activities is in accordance with EU standards and the best practices it is expected that all partner universities will educate experts with adequate knowledge and competences, which will be able to employ in relevant institutions for WRM.
