2021-2027 program is one of the key initiatives of the European Commission in the field of higher education. Its goal is to improve the quality of higher education in partner countries, expand international cooperation and increase the competitiveness of national higher education systems.

CBHE is an Erasmus+ program that funds projects aimed at strengthening the capacity of higher education institutions in partner countries. Projects should be aimed at solving specific problems in the field of higher education, such as improving the quality of education, developing new programs and teaching methods, increasing the accessibility of education for all segments of the population, etc.

The CBHE program funds projects for a period of three years. Financing can cover the costs of organizing seminars, trainings, conferences, developing new programs and teaching methods, purchasing equipment, etc. In addition, the program provides an opportunity for international cooperation and exchange of experience between project participants.

The CBHE program is open to higher education institutions, research institutes, organizations working in the field of higher education, as well as government agencies and non-profit organizations. Participation in the program does not require special knowledge or experience in the field of international cooperation.
