Description
This grant opportunity aims to foster excellence in higher education by supporting projects that enable higher education institutions to design, adapt, and implement innovative and inclusive transnational joint programmes at the bachelor, master, or doctoral level. All programmes must align with the criteria for the joint European degree label, as established in Annex II of the Council Recommendation on a European Quality Assurance and Recognition System in Higher Education. The action also encourages targeted exploration of the European degree concept in engineering, with the goal of generating practical models and evidence to inspire broader adoption of the joint European degree label across Europe.
