EGREEN Project Case Study
Presented By
Prof. Ahmed Al-Salaymeh
The University of Jordan
Erasmus+ projects workshop
Amman, Jordan
November 19, 2017

Capacity-building projects in the field of higher education support the modernisation,
accessibility and internationalisation of higher education in Partner Countries.
There are 2 types of capacity-building projects:
• Joint projects: aimed at organisations to help improve curriculums, governance, and the
strengthening of relations between higher education systems.
• Structural projects: aimed at promoting reforms in higher education systems,
modernising policies, governance and strengthening relations between higher education
systems and the wider economic and social environment.
Capacity-building projects can be:
• National projects involving institutions from only one eligible Partner Country
• Multi-country projects within one single region, involving at least two countries from
this region
• Multi-country projects involving more than one region and involving at least one
country from each region concerned

Erasmus+ - Key Action 2 - Capacity building in the field of higher education
• Length: 2 or 3 years
• Minimum grant award: 500.000€
• Maximum grant award: 1.000.000€
• Application deadline: 8 February 2018 at 12:00 midday Brussels time for
projects starting on 15 November of the same year or 15 January of the
following year

PRIORITIES
• Depending on the countries involved in the project, national, regional or cross cutting
priorities may be defined for both categories of projects (Joint Projects and Structural
Projects).
• Proposals not respecting the national and/or regional priorities will not be considered
for funding. Cross-cutting priorities will be considered at selection stage for deciding
between proposals of similar quality.
National projects, in the countries where national priorities have been established, will have
to comply with national priorities. For the other countries, projects will have to comply with
the regional priorities.
Multi-country projects, that is, projects involving institutions from at least two eligible
Partner Countries, must respect the regional priorities or national priorities (if relevant) of
the participating eligible Partner Countries involved.

Through this proposal a new curriculum will
be developed. The course modules will also be
available through a virtual learning platform
(distance learning) and will incorporate the
latest and newest technologies on water
resources. Establishing such a distance-
learning program is essential for this region
because of the frequent instability that makes
it impossible to always attend classes. The
pedagogical approaches will be progressive
with more interactive exercises, use of videos,
social networks, blog and when possible more
hands on activities. The languages of the
modules will be in Arabic and English.
