Project Summary
Internationalization and sustainability are growing missions of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) worldwide aimed to promote a high-quality and interconnected academic system responding to the emerging global challenges and the training needs of the new students’ generation. The “Sustainability and Internationalization capacities to promote modernisation of Newcomers Higher Education in Neighbourhood East Countries” (SIN-NEC) project addresses the need to enhance sustainability and internationalization competencies of less-experienced, newcomers Armenian (AM) and Ukrainian (UA) Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) with the support of 3 EU partners (2 HEIs, 1 private company) and 1 experienced AM HEI.
To fulfill this goal, the project, after a comprehensive self-assessment, will build capacities of academics, managers and administrative staff on planning and development of strategies and action plans towards internationalization and sustainability. The project will upskill teachers on teaching and training on innovative pedagogics and digital tools in virtual environments to enhance their internationalization potential. Training will be addressed to sustainability and sustainable entrepreneurship that will be used to develop and pilot new modules.
Main project results:
- Enhanced capabilities of the 7 newcomer and less-experienced HEIs that will be exploited in modern strategic plans and actions on internationalisation and sustainability;
- Upskilled teachers on new teaching methodologies, language strategy, heterogeneous learner management, Virtual Exchange, and sustainability;
- Modernization of equipment and software of AM and UA universities to support internationalization and virtual exchanges.
The interconnected SIN-NEC activities by knowledge transfer and best practices exchange will promote the internationalisation the newcomers HEIs and enhance the awareness on sustainability aspects that could be used as a model to be further exploited in other environments.

''Establishment of National framework of Key Performance Indicators for good governance and quality towards inclusive, digital and green oriented higher education in Armenia'' (KPI4HE) project aims at improving higher education system governance, university strategic planning and management contributing to quality and inclusive, digital and green oriented higher education in Armenia through development and implementation of National framework of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for higher education (NF-KPI), operationalization of Institutional Research and Planning Services (IRPS) and revision of State Institutional Accreditation Standards in line with NF-KPI.
Capacity building of national and institutional administrators, decision and policy makers, educators and researchers to integrate the Sustainable Development Goals targeting environmental issues into NF-KPI as tool for higher education steering and university practices of governance, strategic planning, management and quality assurance will be the core of the project.
The following project outcomes are expected to be sustainable after the end of the Erasmus+ programme funding:
- Training Kit on European experience of Institutional Research (IR) for improvement of higher education governance, university strategic planning, management and quality within the context of digitalization and green transition,
- Trained staff from involved institution in charge of strategic planning, management of information system, quality assurance, educational and administrative management,
- National framework of KPIs for higher education (NF-KPI) and its digital platform based on context and supporting transition to inclusive, digital and green higher education in Armenia
- Operations Manuals of IR (OMIR) in application of NF-KPI fitting the size, mission and objectives of the involved HEIs,
- Functional Institutional Research and Planning Services (IRPS) with necessary infrastructures and regulatory framework in involved higher education institutions
- Reports on pilot Institutional Research (IR) and strategic planning activities in involved HEIs,
- Revised and adopted State Institutional Accreditation Standards in line with NF-KPI.
The project expected impact is foreseen on:
Institutional level: Teaching and administrative staff with increased and reinforced competencies on IR for digitalization and green transition, functional IRPS and set of KPIs for collection, analysis and utilization of relevant institutional data in support of daily management and strategic planning, monitoring and control, quality evaluation and decision making for the sake of university efficient and green functioning and development.
National level: Implementation of National framework of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for higher education (NF-KPI), digital platform supporting NF-KPI and revised State Institutional Accreditation Standards in line with NF-KP as tools for effective steering of higher education system towards inclusive, digital and green-oriented higher education in Armenia.
European level: sparked experience sharing, networking and promotion of long-term cooperation between the involved partners leading to convergence in line with EU developments and standards and towards fostering the integration of the HEIs from Armenia into the EHEA.
