E4A Key Action 2 : Cooperation
• SPECIAL ACTION FOR NEIGHBORING COUNTRIES: Combining
capacity building and mobility. Joint projects based on multilateral
partnerships between higher education institutions from the EU and
Neighboring countries. Joint projects between EU and partner
countries for capacity building (curriculum modernization, staff
training, modern teaching, governance, etc.) with in-built mobility.
Based on integration of Tempus and Erasmus Mundus (action 2)
• CAPACITY BUILDING PARTNERSHIPS WITH HEI FROM ASIA,
LATIN AMERICA AND AFRICA: Joint projects between EU and

CONCLUSIONS
• EU projects could help in institutional and capacity building of
CEENQA on its way from a network to the organization
(strengthening the organization by increaseing of activities and
networking)
• Professionalization: for dealing with projects, CEENQA need new
staff – could be paid from a few projects – synergy effect
• Lessons learned from the BIHTEK: better commitment of member
agencies is required
• Participating in CEENQA Project will bring benefits for the member
agency and all persons involved (time is paid, mobility costs are
paid, new connections and contacts, opportunity for learning, etc.)
