Context

  • The CBHE action supports the relevance, quality, modernisation and responsiveness of Higher Education institutions and systems in third countries not associated to the Erasmus + programme for socio-economic recovery, growth and prosperity.
  • It reacts to recent trends, in particular economic globalisation but also the recent decline in human development, fragility, and rising social, economic and environmental inequalities exacerbated by the COVID-19 crisis.
  • It is aligned with the ‘Sustainable Development Goals ‘(SDGs) and the Paris Agreement.
  • It puts focus on Inclusion, accessibility and equity
