Signature of Erasmus+ Inter institutional agreements between the CIHEAM-IAMM and three Albanian Universities

signature1In a view to strengthen a yet close cooperation relationship, the CIHEAM-IAMM, in collaboration with the Agricultural University of Tirana, the European University of Tirana, and the University Fan S. Noli of Korçë, has submitted a project and obtained a grant for 32 mobilities. This will stimulate exchanges of teachers, students and staff of the four institutions during two years: a wonderful support of the Erasmus+ Program, optimizing the existing dynamics between France and Albania, and a successful example of a contribution to the internationalization of Higher Education Universities in Albania.

The presence of the rectors and presidents of the three Albanian universities during the high-level segment was an opportunity to sign the three interinstitutional agreements.

Quality Plan

t10

Two level of quality assurance will be used throughout the entire project duration:

-  Quality assurance of the whole project: the aim is to assure the compliance of the project processes and results with the standards agreed among the Partners (identified indicators of progress), and to implement a continuous quality monitoring. 

-  Quality assurance of the 9 Modules: the Albanian HEI-s have to follow an well-defined procedure for the quality assurance. HEI-s should build up internal quality bodies and respect the quality procedures foreseen by the existing Public Standard. A better quality assurance framework reflecting the Albanian public standards requests, and integrating best Albanian and EU practices will be set up.
