project-based transnational collaboration between enterprises and students/staff at higher education institutions to study real life

cases;

pedagogical approaches and methodologies especially those delivering transversal competences, entrepreneurship mindset and

creative thinking, including by introducing multi-, trans-and interdisciplinary approaches, building learning mobility more

systematically into curricula ('embedded mobility') and through a better exploitation of ICT;


… in other words HE Strategic Partnerships

the integration of a greater variety of study modes (distance, part-time, modular learning), notably through new forms of personalised

learning, strategic use of open educational resources and virtual mobility/learning platforms;

new approaches to facilitate permeability between education sectors (i.e. through validation of prior learning and possibility of

flexible learning -modular studies, blended learning etc.);

the engagement of HEIs with local/regional authorities and other stakeholders based on a collaborative work in an international setting to promote regional development and cross sectoral cooperation to build bridges and share knowledge between the different formal and

informal education and training sectors; cooperation and exchange of practice between staff responsible for

support services, such as guidance counselling, coaching methods and tools, development of systems that help track student progress; or those involved in student support services, to increase

quality (i.e. attract and retain non-traditional learners, e.g. adults, and underrepresented groups in higher education);
