The DREAM Partnership
The DREAM Consortium comprises 8 European universities, 12 ACP Countries' Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) and a group of Associations. This project is being implemented within the framework of the Erasmus Mundus, Action 2 – STRAND 1, Lot 18, ACP Countries.
Among this initiative’s main goals, one can point out:
- Strengthening institutional cooperation by allowing a better knowledge of the partners and countries’ different HESystems through staff training meetings and workshops and also creating new partnership prospects;
- Empowering partner and associate ACP Higher Education Institutions, training and motivating them to become drivers of knowledge transfer in their country/region by enhancing their teaching capacity and quality through the transfer of EU and some ACP Higher Education Institutions’ academic best practices;
- Developing ACP HE through the capacity building of partner/associates’ Human Resources in new thematic fields not covered by their syllabus. These new fields will contribute to the Higher Education Institutions’ development and will also offer new training aspirations to students and staff;
- Building of management capacity through the successful transfer of know-how in mobility procedures and studies recognition;
- Consolidating the cooperation towards its sustainability: The UNIPRISE network will have a major contribution to this goal;
- Enhancing the academic performance of ACP students through the implementation of new initiatives (e.g. mandatory language courses to enhance their skills, allowing them to explore new mobility opportunities beyond their traditional “comfort zone”);
- Generating a solid academic/research cooperation fostering co-tutelle and joint degree awards;
- Establishing a liaison with ACP actors and stakeholders, mainly through the UNIPRISE network, promoting the development of Higher Education cooperation through curricular internships, work positions and support to mobility of top level students and staff.
To achieve these objectives, the project foresees 190 mobilities, divided in two cohorts.
