  Duration: 3 years (2016-2019)
  TLQAA+ aims to respond to major and urgent needs in the Lebanese Higher Education (LHE) related to the use of internal and external programmatic Quality Assurance (QA) for better recognition of skills and competences. Moreover, the project aims to build more capacity by training QA experts and reviewers, building courses and NQF, and developing dialogue between Higher Education (HE) and the labor market. It will test the built components in a real pilot evaluation whose outcomes and findings shall be of profit to the whole LHE sector and beyond.
  
  The project will contribute to the emergence of more integrated academic communities of universities cooperating to improve the quality and relevance in the LHE system. http://plus.tlqaa.org/
• MERIC-Net (Mediterranean Network of National Information Centres on the Recognition of Qualifications)
  Duration: 3 years (2016-2019)
  The MERIC-Net project's objective is to revitalize the MERIC network (Mediterranean Recognition Information Centres) to increase the recognition of qualifications within the Mediterranean Region, and to raise the quality of vertical and horizontal mobility in the higher education systems of the involved countries.
  
  The project partners intend to improve the competencies and skills of credential evaluators defining common practices and realizing common tools among European and South Mediterranean countries, national bodies, and HE institutions, starting from the experience of European higher education institutions and practices adopted by the ENIC-NARIC centers. http://www.meric-net.eu/en/index.aspx
• EuNIT (European project design and management In the South Mediterranean region)
  Duration: 2016-2019, 3 years
  The objective of the EuNIT project is to implement EU project design and management units in the involved partner universities. That will contribute to the internationalization of HE institutions in Jordan, Lebanon, and Libya, to develop sustainable international and regional partnerships. By doing so, it will encourage the creation of networks that enables the HE institutions to exchange good practices in EU project design and management units as well as to forge south-south collaboration. Consequently, the project will contribute to the modernization and development of systems of HEIs in the partner countries and the region.
  
  This project involves 16 partners and 6 associated partners from Croatia, France, Italy, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, and Spain.
