Introduction The report of deliverable 2.3. is situated in WP2 Human Capacity Building in Public Health Education in Montenegro and focuses on different possibilities for strengthening the cooperation of Montenegrin (ME) Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) with EU authorities in healthcare education. Lead by University of Heidelberg as leader of WP2 the EU partners shall offer support and advice to improve the integration of ME HEIs in European Public Health fields. Main objective is to achieve an intensified integration and cooperation into Public Health related EU associations. Secondary objective is to settle a foundation for continues education of educators in public health through entering into European associations for public health educators, fulfilling their requirements at institutional and professional levels (e.g. APHEA- Association of Schools of Public Health in the European Region, etc.)., certifying teachers in interdisciplinary public health domains (e.g. Certified Professional in Healthcare Quality (CPHQ) ), etc. The progress report describes the activities in WP2 Task 2.3. of the second project year, Focusing on the establishment oF international relationships in the Field oF public health between ME HEIs and EU associations. In the previous report, various possibilities were identified for ME HEIs to improve their network in the field of public health (see main chapters in the table of contents). In the progress report it is observed, and analysed which options could be suitable and feasible for ME HEIs. Every possibility for better integration of ME HEIs listed here was carefully considered during joint project meetings between all project partners before further steps were taken. In the following chapters is described which options were identified, chosen and approached. European Commission Erasmus+ Project: | PROJECT COORDINATOR: University of Donja Gorica 573997-EPP-1-2016-1-ME-EPPKA2-CBHE-JP | Donja Gorica, 81 000 Podgorica, Montenegro | http://www.udg.edu.me This project has been funded with support from the European Commission. | [email protected] This publication [communication] reflects the views only of the | Tel:+382(0)20 410 777 author, and the Commission cannot be held responsible for any use | Fax:+382(0)20 410 766 which may be made of the information contained therein. | PROJECT WEBSITE:www.ph-elim.net 2. Funding schemes For exchanging staFF and students with EU HEIs 2.1. International programs 2.1.1. Projects for mobility, Erasmus+ (Erasmus+ mobility scholarship) As most suitable funding option the Erasmus+ International Credit Mobility (ICM) was identified. The main advantages are, that both student and staff exchanges can be supported and the funding is like the PH-ELIM project within Erasmus+. Though there are still multiple barriers complicating the application for ICM or other funding schemes for staff and student exchange. • Language barrier. o At the EU partner HEIs the study programs are mostly in the local language and not in English. Only English courses seem to be reasonable for application for further education of ME students. • Missing information on possible timeframes. o EU and ME HEIs have different semester schedules. o ME HEIs staff shall participate in PH-ELIM trainings in the EU partner countries. Exchanges during the trainings period are unfitting. However, slight progress is made: - Submitted 2 Erasmus+ staff mobility applications: University of Debrecen with UDG and University of Debrecen with UCG - Discussed potentials with University of Heidelberg and University of Health Sciences, Medical Informatics and technologies- difficulties due to German Language requirements are found; solutions: focus on other actions - Discussed potentials with National and Kapodistrian University of Athens- at university level it is needed to have established program in Montenegro, in order to develop exchange programs; conclusion: wait for accreditation to be finalised and completed During the actual period these questions will be clarified, and bilateral applications submitted for ICM wherever possible.
