• revising the legal (system level) and regulatory (HEI level) frameworks in line with Bologna action lines;

• establishing the state-of-the-art university management system through overhaul of approaches to system changes: strategic, financial and human resource management

• introducing working approaches to student-centered educational provisions: ECTS and academic programme management to assure quality and promote student mobility.

  • The principle outcomes/outputs include:

• Building on capacity of top and middle level administration to enable Bologna action lines implementation;

• New legal (system-wide) and regulatory (HEIs) frameworks in line with Bologna lines;

• State-of-the-art management system based on new approaches to strategic and structural management, budget allocation, human resource management;

• Indicators and criteria for academic programme and student mobility operationalization;

• New approaches to managing academic programmes and office of academic affairs and registrar (installation of student portal and student affairs information management system).

The HEIs are from a single CIS country – Armenia. It will allow deeper understanding of the needs of developing systems and customization to specific country and institutions priorities.

ABCinEnergy: towards sustainable energy consumption in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs)

European higher education institutions face difficulties in translating sustainability goals into concrete actions, mainly due to a lack of clear assessment tools and metrics. ABCinEnergy responds to this challenge by developing the Habit Tracker platform, which will help universities and academic communities monitor and change energy behaviour. The project promotes energy sustainability, while also supporting training for the adoption of more responsible behaviour.
