TEMPUS-ESPRIT​​ (2013-2016)

 

 

The TEMPUS-ESPRIT project is an innovative international project which seeks to map, analyse and strenghen the social involvement and responsibility of the Israeli academia.The project, coordinated by the BTC, includes the participation of  Israeli and European higher education institutions, as well as the Israeli and the European Students Unions. The project's main goal is to develop the social characteristics and public responsibility of Israeli higher education.

 

In the course of the project, a mapping of the interfaces between the social and the academic activities of higher education institutions in Israel will be conducted. According to the findings, the participants will operate in two dimensions in order to strenghen the connection between the academic role of the institutions (Research & Teaching) and their social role. This objective will be achieved by formulating modules that will involve social activity, and by constructing a benchmarking tool for the evaluation of higher education institutions in accordance with social perspectives.

Jean-Monnet Network- NEAR-EU (2016-ongoing)
Near-EU, coordinated by Ben-Gurion University of the Negev,  is a global academic network, funded by the Jean Monnet programme of the European Commission. The project, officially launched in November 2016, aims to broaden the field of European integration studies by incorporating the domain of higher education in the research and activities of European study centres and departments of international affairs.The project will develop an inter-regional, collaborative academic space to enhance the study of European higher education policy and academic internationalization. The project intends to establish Bologna Resource Centers (BRC), for the study and research of European HE, within and outside Europe and to create a nexus among them. The BRCs will evolve into a network of prominent academic units in the field of European Studies and international affairs  in EU and non-European countries (Israel, New Zealand, Canada and Singapore) to further deepen the academic discourse on European HE policy and the EHEA. Capitalizing on their venues within National Jean Monnet Centers and leading European and international affairs research centers, the BRCs will be in a position to catalyze interest in European higher education policies and research, attracting academics and graduate students to the arena.
