The main objective of the IREEDER project is to improve the capacities of high quality education in Jordan, using state of art technology and training staff on improving the quality of the courses taught by making best use of these technologies. Specifically, IREEDER aims at introducing the recent developments in Electrical Engineering to the undergraduate curricula, where three subjects in renewable energy, Internet of things and Cyber security will be developed. Also, three laboratories for training the students in the selected topics will be established in three different Jordanian partners. The reason behind this project is mainly to enhance the quality if the graduated engineers by providing the basic knowledge and the necessary skills to enter the labor market in Jordan. The three selected subjects have been chosen based on a need analysis of the Jordanian market.IREEDER includes five Jordanian partners and five European partners, who have the willing and the ability to accomplish this cooperative project by exchanging the experience towards achieving the project aims.

The MED2IaH initiative stems from the necessity of cover an important aspect of internationalization in Mediterranean countries (Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt, Lebanon, Jordan) higher education system that has not been tackled adequately until now – Internationalisation at Home (IaH). Within EU funded projects, internationalization at large has been covered by different projects embracing European concepts like Bologna system, ECTS, internationalization of curriculum and cross-cultural issues within a multi-diversity paradigm. Though IaH is a relatively recent concept, it has already been embraced widely, particularly in northern and western Europe. IaH aims to bring internationalisation to all students through the home curriculum. It is therefore primarily about teaching and learning, which implies that lecturers are increasingly becoming prominent players in internationalisation. After all, they are the ones who create learning environments with international and intercultural dimensions. The project thus attempts to develop University Strategy on IoHE and Research and individual Action plans for IaH in 12 PCHEIs after exploring the different EU models available for IaH. A common terminology around the concept of IaH will be needed as well. As a way to reinforce IaH strategies partners will establish specific guidelines and protocols for foreign student services - including those related to safety and security for instance. Other mechanisms like social integration schemes will be developed as well. A particular activity to enhance IaH will be the organisation and delivery of virtual webinars in PC HEI. The project will support the development of a strategic framework for HE and IaH specificially and the enhancement of structured regulations and procedures that facilitate incoming exchange mobilities, creation of support schemes for foreign students coming to PC HEIs and complementing other measures that have been previously put in place through other CBHE projects.
