To ensure a smooth flow of the project and continuous enhancement an accurate quality control and
monitoring plan and respective tools will be developed. The idea is two-fold: to constantly get feedback of
the participants on the quality of the project organization as well as conducting regular review of the
documentations to ensure accurate, financial and technical tracking of the project activities, when
requested by the grant-holder. The lead partner for the WP is CESIE and it will take care of timely and
efficient implementation of the QCM activities. The major tangible outputs for the WP will be the QCM
plan and tools, reports on WP implementation and achievements.
Next, the grant-holder with the EU partners will conduct monitoring by visiting the PCI and observing on
spot the project developments and achievements. The reports on WPs and the analysis of the visits will
feed into the intermediate and final reports to be submitted to EACEA. Close to the end of the project an
external audit will be invited to review the documentations, protocols and other documents related to the
project implementation for factual findings and report to EACEA.
The WP will be divided in two parts:
1) Internal monitoring: will be lead by CESIE as part of its role as project coordinator. The internal
monitoring will aim to supervise the work of partners and give support, while ensuring that all milestones
are reached through a quality process. All partners will be actively involved in the internal monitoring,
contributing to the achievement of the results and outputs of this WP. Communication will be an essential
part of internal monitoring because it will ensure the transfer of information regarding the project and
the performance of partners, as well as prevent and/or resolve possible challenges. In case of problems by
one partner or among partners in the project performance or in the development of the planned
activities, CESIE will activate a plan consisting mainly in:
 giving permanent support for the realisation of the activities, analysing with the partner(s) the
origin of the problem and proposing solutions to it
 monitoring the implementation of the possible solutions and their results
 involving all the Consortium to ensure other point of views and good practices to overcome the
problems
 foreseeing alternative solutions, informing and asking for support to the EC in case of need.
2) External monitoring: The grantholder will subcontract an external evaluator who will contribute to the
quality of work and the Consortium. The external evaluator will be in charge of
 monitoring all the activities at local and international levels;
 creating and delivering tools for the assessment of the quality of work and the impact of activities
(training and coordination events);
 developing annual reports based on the results of the evaluation activities;
 giving recommendations to the partnership on how to improve the project performance (if
needed);
 assist CESIE in the management of potential challenges of partners (if needed);
 participating in XX Consortium meetings, giving advice for the quality of the work programme.

AAUJ
D.1.1 - Aims and activities of the organisation
Please provide a short presentation of your organisation (key activities, affiliations, size of the
organisation, etc.) relating to the area covered by the project (limit 2000 characters).
The Arab American University-Jenin (AAUJ) located in the Governorate of Jenin was established in
September 2000 as the first private university in Palestine.
Since the 1970s, many Palestinian universities have been established in the West Bank. However, in
addition to being subject to the limitations of the conditions of occupation, these institutions have had to
rely mainly on insufficient levels of public funding and on charitable support from abroad. The founders of
AAUJ were moved to create a new paradigm: By mobilizing local private capital, this new private
university would not only avert many of the constraints of public funding, but it would also set a new
standard for Palestinian higher education.
AAUJ was conceived to accomplish the following strategic goals:
1. To provide excellence in education
2. To carry out engaged and applied research
3. To play a central role in the integrative and comprehensive development of the Jenin and
Tubas governorates in particular and in Palestinian development at large
4. To achieve financial sustainability and growth
AAUJ’s role as an engine and catalyst for human and economic development in the region and beyond
indicates its importance as an effective private-sector initiative and model not only for a new direction in
Palestinian higher education but also for integrative and comprehensive development.
Institutional Growth
In 2000 AAUJ began with an initial enrolment of 270 students, a couple dozen academic and administrative
staff, one faculty (Art and Sciences) and a single building. By the end of 2013, AAUJ has grown to include:
1. More than 500 academic and administrative employees 8,200 students (among them 2,570 Arab
students from inside Israel)
2. Seven faculties
 Arts and Sciences
 Dentistry
 Engineering and Information Technology
 Law
 Allied Medical Sciences
 Administrative and Financial Sciences (the largest in Palestine)
 Graduate Studies
AAUJ is currently building the largest sport village in Palestine.
Please describe also the role of your organisation in the project (limit 1000 characters).
AAUJ will participate in developing the program design and the developing the courses. They will also
arrange and host a workshop for evaluating the first year of the running program in the third year of the
project.

PART E - Project characteristics and relevance
E.1. Why does the consortium wish to undertake this project?
Please outline the motivation behind your project, clearly identifying the specific needs or problem/s which
it intends to solve. Explain how the project proposal fits within the development strategies of the Partner
Countries involved and how it addresses the priorities defined at national / regional level. Also explain why
this/these problem/s were selected instead of others. In particular, explain how the area of intervention has
been explored to guarantee that the project is offering something new compared to the existing situation.
Where applicable, explain any synergy with other EU initiatives should be highlighted (limit 5000
characters).
Governmental institutions but also the universities in Palestine suffer the scarcity of the basic knowledge
on information management, strategy, quality, privacy and security. These issues are important for
public, private and non-profit organizations. By getting the information management right, this will result
in reducing administrative labor cost- less actual time moving information around and outside the
enterprise. This saves massive amounts of staff time and labor cost. It also reduces wasted time and
mistakes – access to constantly updated information from an easy to locate source - prevents repetition
of work on out of date documents.
Getting the proposed project will improve the skills of the teaching staff in information protection and
management. These skills will be disseminated to other institutions in Palestine and Jordan through the
membership of other Palestinian and Jordanian Universities in the consortium. The project will also
empower academic staff and graduate students by providing the required facilities for MSc projects.
This project will facilitate better collaboration, which means Palestinian and Jordanian staff will work
closely with their European counterparts and build up expertise in the areas of security and information
management. Information management also helps with compliance of regulations, which will lead to
reduce the cost of audits. Information security and privacy including data protection, copyrights and
intellectual properties are of high priority in the Palestinian and Jordanian societies private and public
sectors.
Ethics, Copyright and Intellectual Property Issues in Computing and Privacy and Information Security
Concerns represent a crucial necessity for the Palestinian universities, industry and community as a
whole. The public and the private sectors in Palestine are not fully aware of the importance of having a
national framework of ethics and professional conduct to enhance the quality of service and protect the
overall society from computer, internet and social media crimes. The universities in Palestine are not
embedding these issues in their pedagogical curricula and do not pay fully attention of these concerns.
The industry also shows lack of understanding and application of the intellectual property and privacy
and information security concerns. IT strategy and management is also essential in strategic planning for
institutions and enterprises.
Please describe briefly how your project proposal was prepared (e.g., capitalising on previous experiences,
based on achieved outcomes in former projects, following previous cooperation amongst the consortium
members, etc.) (limit 1000 characters).
The idea of the project comes from PTUK as a state flourishing university in Palestine. Dr. Eleyan took the
initiative to contact different partners from EU and Palestine. These EU partners are renowned HEIs in
Europe and has the reuired expertise to support and lead the project.
If your proposal is based on the results of one or more previous projects / networks, please provide precise
references to this / these project(s) / network(s) in the table below.

E.2. Rationale for the setting-up of the consortium
Please explain why the selected partners are best suited to participate in this European project. Describe
innovative and or complementary skills, expertise and competences within the consortium directly relating
to the planned project activities. If associated partners are involved, please explain their role in the project
and the added value to the consortium (limit 3000 characters).
The partnership will be led by Harokopio University (HUA) in Greece has extensive experience in
successfully managing EU funded projects, development of graduate studies degrees and research
supervision. The academic staff at HUA will share their expertise in developing graduate programmes in
Information and IT management areas. They will have a significant role in developing and delivering
relevant modules and training programmes for staff, evaluating the overall programme and sharing
research. Dr. George Dafolos from Middlesex university UK will also provide advice on program and
courses design.
According to the Quality Assurance Plan (to be drafted by CESIE (month 4), monitoring and evaluation
will be conducted internally and externally on a six-monthly base. Evaluations will be both formative
(conducted during the project in order to improve the results) and summative (conducted at the end of
the project to assess achievements).
All planning and reporting tools will be provided to partners. Online evaluation questionnaires (after
meetings / during -after WP ending) will be prepared and sent out; responses will be analyzed and
reported.
E.3. European added value
Please describe the benefits of and need for European cooperation. Please describe also why the results
cannot be achieved through national, regional or local funding (limit 1000 characters).
This proposal aims to develop a new master program to bridge the gap of knowledge and build
competencies of the Palestinian society with the know-how for information management, quality,
privacy and security in various aspects of life. It will provide resources and training for academic staff
including facilities to develop the program modules. The project will transfer the know-how and best
practices from Europe to Palestine, through proposing a joint MSc in Information Security and Data
Management (ISDM). This project will focus on developing the academic modules and tutorials to
establish a joint MSc degree in the partners’ universities. In other words, the project aims to develop
teaching staff capacity building and graduate students in four main areas (information management,
Information security, IT Laws and Rules, and Computer forensics), which are the main challenges in
implementing any service either in private or public sector.

PART F - Quality of the project design and implementation
F.1. Aims and objectives
Please define the concrete aims and objectives of the project and describe the ways in which the situation
set out under the previous section (Part E) will be changed (limit 3000 characters).
a.The development of the proposed MSc program's curriculum in cooperation with the partner
universities.
b.Capacity building of Palestinian and Jordanian academic staff by training a number of the teaching staff
to become the teaching core of the newly established MSc program.
c.Equipping laboratories to be utilized by graduates during their studies
d.Establish links with Palestinian, Jordanian and European local industry to provide ideas of relevant MSc
projects and placements for graduates
e.MSc modules to be taught jointly by staff members from Local and European institutions during the
implementation stage
f.Staff members from the consortium will embark on joint research in areas of common interest. This
includes the supervision of MSc students’ projects.
g.Improving the management skills of Data Centers in Palestinian and Jordanian institutions.
F.2. Project activities and Methodology
Please define the activities proposed and the working methodology (project activities/developments
including educational and training content and pedagogical approach) to be used for achieving the
objectives, including major milestones, measurable indicators, etc. (limit 6000 characters).
The main aim of this project is to develop a master degree at Palestine Technical UNiversity and Arab
American University and provide necessary supporting laboratory and library resources. The academic
contents of the programme will be developed during the first two years of the project.
To ensure the high standard and quality of the programme, it will be submitted to the Palestinian
Ministry of Higher Education for accreditation.
The research and laboratory infrastructure at ptuk in the Department of electrical and computer
Engineering is not up to what is expected for a university to run graduate studies and be able to provide
sufficient support to graduate level projects. PTUK requires support to build up their laboratory and
research facilities and resources to support the successful development and delivery of high standard
programme. The project will provide capacity building of Palestinian academics by training them on the
use of research facilities and by enabling a number of MSc holder staff to become PhD holders following
split-site doctorate programmes at EU partner institutions.
The lack of graduate studies in Information security at Palestinian institutions is attributed to the
requirements necessary to launch a successful programme. PTUK University believes that it is their duty
to serve the Palestinian population and to fill in the gap in higher education infrastructure by establishing
a master program in the proposed Information Security and IT management. The project will develop the
required master level programme and help in providing training and resources for researchers in a
methodological approach that takes into account the local needs and national priorities, and to fit them
within a global network of education and knowledge. In addition to developing the MSc programme, the
project will encourage research ethos culture among Palestinian academics by providing necessary
equipment and training and building research skills. .
The project will involve academics, students and stakeholders at different levels and implementation
stages. Academics from EU institution will share their graduate level teaching and research experience
with Palestinian academics by contributing to programme and module specifications and detailed
contents as well as delivering and reviewing a number of the designed modules. Palestinian academics
will enrich and enhance their teaching and research knowledge by visiting EU institutions and
participating in the implementation stages of the project and by contributing to programme and module
specifications and detailed contents as well as delivering and reviewing number of the designed modules.
Joint Master in Information Security and Data Management / (ISDM)
Page 23 of 54
During the first six months of the project, all partners will participate in round table discussion with
relevant Palestinian industries, organizations and government bodies to establish the level of
cooperation and assessment of need for MSc level graduates and support required for execution of
graduate level projects and seminars. The project will also investigate ways in which academia could
benefit the Palestinian engineering industry and other relevant organisation to ensure a two way flow of
knowledge for a sustainable national collaboration.
Also, a workshop will be held at during the second year of the project. Academics, industry and
government representatives of related research, teaching and training areas will be invited in an effort to
promote university-industry cooperation. The workshop will be open to all stakeholders including
students and professionals who may benefit from the development of the programme and support
facilities.
The specific project objectives are the following:
- The development of high quality Master programmes in information security in cooperation with the
partner institutions.
- - Building laboratory facilities to be utilized by graduate students during their courses and thesis
- Academic staff from Local and EU institutions will deliver the first year of the MSc
- Collaboration between the partners’ institutes to prepare joint research bids in areas in common
interest. Such cooperation will help sustain the joint activities beyond the life time of the project.
- Additionally, one of the project’s wider objectives is to establish collaboration in the Palestinian context
by engaging in discussion with Palestinian companies, professional and governmental organizations.
The cooperation between the partnership will last for three years and the project will be carried out in
three stages:
The Preparation Stage: careful planning will take place for the project kick-off meeting to ensure a
smooth start of the project. The kick-off meeting will be held at PTUK and will serve to establish the
needed atmosphere for the project success. The meeting will educate project partners about the
logistics and reporting requirements. This meeting will involve developing detailed planning the first six
months activities and an overall planning for activities throughout the project. The kick off meeting will
be followed by visits of the Palestinian partners to EU partners’ institutions to explore graduate teaching
facilities and research and training centres and discuss staff training requirement and programme
development areas and courses.
To assess collaboration between different entities in the Palestinian context that are necessary for the
success and sustainability of the project’s outcomes, all partners will participate in round table discussion
in a meeting to be held at Birzeit with relevant Palestinian industries, organizations and government
bodies. This will establish the level of cooperation and assessment of need for MSc level graduates and
support required for execution of graduate level projects and seminars. Ways for academics to benefit
the industry and relevant organisations will
F.3. Budget and cost effectiveness
Please describe the strategy adopted to ensure that the proposed results and objectives will be achieved in
the most economical way and on time. Explain the principals of budget allocation amongst partners.
Indicate the arrangements adopted for financial management and what co-financing modalities are
planned (limit 3000 characters).
n preparing this proposal we endeavored to achieve the objectives of the project in the most cost
effective way. We minimized travel by (i) arranging activities so that visitors perform multiple tasks on a
visit (monitoring, dissemination, promoting the Bologna process and financial management); (ii) using
video-conferencing and e-learning technologies when possible, particularly for teaching some of the
course; (iii) reducing staff cost to the minimum necessary and asking partners to provide some staff input
as their co-financing share; and (iv) limiting the purchase of equipment to items which are absolutely
necessary for the achievement of this project's objectives. We believe the project delivers good value for
money.
As for the budget allocation, a number of important principles were followed. First, Erasmus Plus rules
Joint Master in Information Security and Data Management / (ISDM)
Page 24 of 54
were strictly followed. Second, budget has been allocated to different partners based on the demands of
different tasks, activities and deliverables that they are involved in. For partner country universities, their
needs have been the guiding factor in allocation of equipment, printing and publishing budget and other
costs. For all partners, the budget for staff was guided by activities they are involved in and the time they
need to put. Third, to meet the responsibilities of the project’s administration and financial management,
PTUK was allocated an extra share of the budget
Financial management is the most crucial element of the project management. PTUK is skilled with
project coordination with experienced staff who worked on several Tempus projects before. They are
very familiar with Tempus rules and regulations. Additionally, all financial work is subject to the financial
and auditing rules of the PA. Any further training needed will be provided to ensure full understanding
and adherence to Tempus rule. A system will be in place to ensure that financial records are maintained
consistently in all institutions
F.4. Quality control and Monitoring
Please explain what mechanisms have been put in place for ensuring the quality of the project and how the
evaluation will be carried out. Please define the specific quality measures established, as well as the
benchmarks and indicators foreseen to verify the outcome of the action. Make sure that the information in
this section is consistent with the project Logical Framework Matrix (limit 3000 characters).
The qulaity and control will be divided in two parts:
1) Internal monitoring: will be lead by CESIE as part of its role as project coordinator. The internal
monitoring will aim to supervise the work of partners and give support, while ensuring that all milestones
are reached through a quality process. All partners will be actively involved in the internal monitoring,
contributing to the achievement of the results and outputs of this WP. Communication will be an
essential part of internal monitoring because it will ensure the transfer of information regarding the
project and the performance of partners, as well as prevent and/or resolve possible challenges. In case
of problems by one partner or among partners in the project performance or in the development of the
planned activities, CESIE will activate a plan consisting mainly in:
•giving permanent support for the realisation of the activities, analysing with the partner(s) the origin of
the problem and proposing solutions to it
•monitoring the implementation of the possible solutions and their results
•involving all the Consortium to ensure other point of views and good practices to overcome the
problems
•foreseeing alternative solutions, informing and asking for support to the EC in case of need.
2) External monitoring: The grantholder will subcontract an external evaluator who will contribute to the
quality of work and the Consortium. The external evaluator will be in charge of
•monitoring all the activities at local and international levels;
•creating and delivering tools for the assessment of the quality of work and the impact of activities
(training and coordination events);
•developing annual reports based on the results of the evaluation activities;

PART G - Impact, dissemination and exploitation, sustainability
G.1. Expected impact of the project
Please explain who will use these project outputs / products / results and how the consortium will reach
them. Describe how the target groups (including participating institutions, stakeholders) will be reached and
involved during the life of the project and how the project will benefit the target group at local, regional,
national and or European level. Please structure your description according to the different levels of impact
and stakeholders (limit 3000 characters).
The main outcome of this project is the development of a model of a joint MSc in Information Security
curriculum that well suites universities in the region and has the unique elements of e-learning, industrial
tutorials, distributed team work and joint thesis supervision. Successful exploitation of this curriculum in
the partner universities is a core and integral part of the project is allocated considerable resources.
Partner country universities all lack a similar a degree and are in bad need of one. They will implement
the curriculum by obtaining the required approvals and running the first round of the programme. This
will pave the way for other universities to model this programme or join the consortium for joint
deployment and implementation.
Central to our curriculum philosophy, design and implementation is sustainability. Sustainability activities
are designed to ensure that partner country institutions are committed, and have the ability, to continue
the implementation of the outcomes of the Project after funding comes to an end. Particularly, the
Project will produce the following outcomes which will ensure the sustainability of results:
a. The new Master in information security programme with its newly prepared teaching model and
materials will be included in the regular programmes of the participating universities and offered yearly;
b. The developed programme should be continually kept evolvable to meet advances and evolution in
the subject area. At the heart of our design, and to handle such co-evolution, will be the introduction of
“” modules. The contents of such modules will change regularly taking into account current development
in the subject area and local needs.
c. Carefully defined evolvable industrial case studies will be an integral part of the modules developed in
this program.
d. Some, if not all, of the modules within the developed programme will be appropriately packaged and
be offered as industrial training, hence serving local industrial needs.
e. The staff needed to teach the programme in partner universities will be trained, retrained and
updated;
f. Equipment, books and software will be in place for the continuation of the new programmes
g. Improved understanding of the Bologna process (through the establishment of the two programmes,
seminars on the promotion of the Bologna process and the visit of senior members of universities to EU
countries) in partner countries will facilitate its eventual adaptation.
Finally, dissemination of the outcomes to all relevant stakeholders will contribute to the sustainability of
the project results and the ultimate success of ISIM Project. This will be achieved by reaching all possible
targets groups and informing them of the project and encouraging them to participate in its activities.
Stakeholders of this project are the students and staff of partner country universities; companies in the
field, employers of these students; administrative staff of the universities and Ministries of Education.
Workshops will be organized and dissemination materials (CDs, brochures, website) to disseminate all
the relevant information to other faculties and departments of each university as well as to stakeholders
outside the universities.

G.2. Dissemination and exploitation strategy
Please explain how the dissemination will be organised and how exploitation activities will ensure optimal
use of the results within the project's lifetime and after. Explain the roles, responsibilities and target groups
(limit 3000 characters).
The project will be promoted according to a dissemination strategy that will be carried out mostly by the
academic and administrative staff of the project at PTUK University in cooperation with other partners in
two ways:
• Disseminate the project results to all members inside the consortium
• Disseminate the project results outside the consortium in Palestine and the region
The dissemination of knowledge and results within the consortium will be achieved through progress
reports, meetings and minutes . The project website will be a major dissemination tool. A part of this
project website will be allocated for internal use by the project members and project monitoring bodies if
required with communications including file exchange and discussion forums. Furthermore, the project
reports will mainly be for internal circulation within the consortium and monitoring bodies in order to
keep all members up to date about the progress of the project.
As for dissemination outside the project consortium, a website for the project will be established and
launched to the public at the beginning of the first year the project which will report on the project's
intermediate outcomes and events. Links to other relevant websites will also be established which may
include in addition to partners websites, other Palestinian universities. Palestinian Ministry of Higher
Education, other ministries and governmental organizations and engineering organizations.
Other dissemination materials such as brochures, posters, and leaflets will be designed and printed in
both Arabic and English. These materials will be distributed to all potentially interested parties in the
project, the developed programme and research facilities including universities, ministries, engineering

teaching and supervision of graduate project. They will continue to use the teaching and course
materials designed and reviewed during the project
- Equipment and simulation packages for the programme laboratory and projects will be purchased using
the project funds. In addition, a list of books will be purchased to establish a core specialized library for
the programme
- The success of the programme in its first year of implementation will be an important factor in
preluding for a continuous cooperation in the future with the European partners. The academic staff at
Birzeit University will discuss the possibility and requirements of bilateral cooperation with EU partner
institutions where EU academics may be appointed as visiting Professors at Bizeit to continue teaching on
the programme for the seeable future.
-- Other activities will serve as an opening for future cooperation of the consortium members in
conducting joint research projects, publications and exchange of visits.
- The project is expected to strengthen the links between Palestinian universities, engineering industry
and organizations and the Government.
