Key Action 2
Within higher education dimension of the programme Key Action 2 supports:
- Capacity Building Higher Education Projects (CBHE),
- Knowledge Alliances and Strategic Partnerships.
Capacity Building Higher Education Projects (ex Tempus Programme)
Capacity Building Higher Education Projects (CBHE) promote cooperation and partnerships that have an impact on the modernisation and internationalisation of higher education institutions and systems in Partner Countries. This action will be open to Neighbouring and Enlargement countries, Asia, Latin America, Africa, the Pacific and Caribbean.
Two categories of projects will be supported:
Joint Projects aim to impact principally and directly the institutions involved in the Partner Countries and will typically focus on 3 different categories of activities, namely curriculum development, modernisation of governance, management and functioning of HEIs and strengthening of relations between HEIs and the wider societal and economic environment.
Structural Projects aim for a systemic impact and promote reforms at national and/or regional level with the support of the authorities in the Partner Countries and will typically focus on 2 different types of activities: modernisation of policies, governance and management of higher education systems and strengthening of relations between higher education systems and the wider societal and economic environment.
In specific cases Joint and Structural Projects may include a Special Mobility Strand for staff and students.
Capacity Building Projects are open to the participation of a wide range of organisations, such as: public or private higher education institutions, national and/or international associations or organisations of higher education institutions, teacher or student organisations, public administrations (i.e. ministries, other national, regional and local administrations), social partners and/or their training organisations, chambers of commerce, labour associations and/or other public or private professional organisations, private and/or public enterprises, research institutions, non-governmental organisations.
Organisations wishing to apply for Capacity Building in the field of Higher Education projects are invited to submit applications on-line to the Education, Audiovisual and Culture Executive Agency in Brussels.

If this is the case, you may use this PIC code to create your electronic application form. At the application stage, PIC statutes can be either "Validated" Declared" or Sleeping" but in case of double reference for one same organisation, the "Validated " PIC should always be considered.
