The National Erasmus+ Office in Moldova organized on November 2, 2023 the cluster session with the topic "Management and Implementation of Capacity Building in Higher Education Projects (CBHE): MEDIA, Skills4Future and DEFEP" at its headquarters in Chisinau. The event brought together the institutional teams, as well as the key persons involved in these projects, winning within the Erasmus+ call for proposals 2022.
Thus, the event aimed to become a platform for discussions on the objectives and preliminary results of the projects, focusing on the contribution of the institutions and stakeholders involved, highlighting the good practices, but also the solutions to the challenges arising during the implementation.
The preparation and presentation of a brief information on the implementation of the project was carried out by the participants at the cluster session - the academic and administrative staff from partner universities. In addition, project members participated at filling in a questionnaire, thus providing a detailed picture of progress and challenges encountered.
It has to be mentioned that until now, thanks to the support of the Erasmus+ Programme, 30 capacity building in higher education projects have been implemented in the Republic of Moldova. They have budgets from 200 thousand to one million euros, and support international cooperation actions, based on multilateral partnerships between organisations active in the field of higher education. CBHE projects support the relevance, quality, modernization and adaptability of education in third countries not associated with the Erasmus+ programme, such as the Republic of Moldova, for socioeconomic recovery, growth and prosperity.
