The project aimed to support the modernisation, accessibility and internationalisation of higher education in Indonesia. This action contributed to the development of sustainable and inclusive socio-economic growth in Indonesia. The main focus of the project was to provide entrepreneurship education that students in each Indonesian partner should receive as part of their programme of study and to develop a comprehensive framework for embedding an interactive and progressive set of entrepreneurial learning outcomes (ELO) into programme curricula and career development planning.The project also implemented a Growth Hub in each Indonesian partner university, adapted to suit their local and regional context and needs. The project embedded the triangular approach to capacity building in the Indonesian higher education sector that included three converging streams of activities addressing the priority area of university-enterprise cooperation, entrepreneurship and employability of graduates. The project also resulted in creating a virtual Learning Network including students, enterprises and other stakeholders that operates at the university level, between universities and also across the Indonesian higher education sector. Activities included: - Assessment of the detailed needs of each Indonesian HEI partner with an Action Plan for each of the 3 components (the triangular approach) of the project.- The development of a comprehensive framework for embedding an interactive and progressive set of entrepreneurial learning outcomes (ELO) into study programme curricula, course content and career development planning.- Multi-level (i.e. network, institutional, and programme) learning outcome programme plans that embedded sustainable state-of-the-art and targeted entrepreneurial learning pedagogies. Building on the HEInnovate Entrepreneurial assessment at university level and resulting Action Plans it involved engagement with external stakeholders with the universities who contributed to enterprise support, guidance and advice within the student learning experience.- Training and development of university staff relating to the knowledge, skills and competences to design and establish an Enterprise Incubation Unit within each university. Creating a resource base for student learning, university staff, graduates and early stage entrepreneurs, that supported local enterprise development activities.- Established a Growth Hub at each Indonesian partner with a digital infrastructure for the GITA Learning Network portal. - Strengthening the internationalisation of university capacity to network effectively in research, scientific and technological innovation including international openness of curricula, student services, inter-institutional mobility schemes, scientific cooperation and knowledge transfer.- Upgrading of facilities necessary for the implementation of innovative practices (e.g. for new curricula and teaching methods, for the development of new services, etc).

On of the focus of the Horizon 2020 is on the investment in research and innovation, which is foreseen as essential for Europe’s society aiming to produce Europe as world-class science and technology community that drives economic growth not only in the European geographical area. As part of this effort it is of the foremost importance to bring together European scientists with those from around the world. Building research and innovation capacities is a challenging task and the current project will address this task within the cooperation network of Asian and European partners. The research capacities will be developed at partner higher education institutions in Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand through the creation and implementation of the System of the Assessment of Quality and Impact of Research and the development and the introduction of self-contained transferable research skill training modules. Though individual partner universities are at different levels of the research capacities development, all of them strive to embrace the ways towards their improved research performance. The diversity of partner higher education institutions involved in the project (public vs. private, research vs. teaching focused, traditional vs. new, located in the capital city vs. in rural areas, focused on social vs. technical sciences, located in high income vs. medium/lower income countries) allows for addressing the research capacity building goal from diverse perspectives and for achieving necessary synergies in the partnership. The transfer of the best practice and knowledge in the area of research capacities in both ways will provide additional value added for European partners.

The MASUDEM project focuses on curriculum development and academic and administration staff capacity building at partner universities in Indonesia and Thailand (Region 5) addressing the priority Green deal and Sustainable growth and jobs. During the project's existence, the new Master's program/Concentration in Sustainable Development and Management will be developed, accredited, and introduced at partner country universities. The new Master's program will be supported by the development of the study program modules, course documentation, and study texts as well as by retraining of partner country academics teaching in the program. Also, the study services for students of the Master's program will be upgraded in line with best practices and the administrative staff responsible for their provision will be trained. The capacity building will be strengthened by the purchase of relevant equipment to support the core project outcomes. The project will provide opportunities for building sustainable cooperation links among the partner institutions, which are aligned with their internationalization strategies. The outcomes will be disseminated to key stakeholders. The focus of the project on Sustainable Development and Management fully meets the needs of partner countries and contributes to their effort to align their development with the UN sustainable development goals and spread European values in partner countries.

The Indonesian Higher Education sector is facing significant change as it moves from a phase of expansion with increased access to higher education, to one where the focus is on enhancing the quality of that education. The reform and restructuring of the higher education (HE) system in Indonesia needed to deliver on these objectives is being slowed by a lack of leadership and management capacity in the HE sector. Universities in Indonesia need to build the capacity of their leaders for governance, strategic planning and management in order to deliver these reforms. The project addresses the need for development for university leaders and managers in Indonesia through the creation and implementation of a structured leadership and management development network (LMDN) and an associated programme (LMDP). When creating the network and programme for higher education institutions in Indonesia, it will create the constitution and operating procedures for the network; structures and materials to support the programme; and identify and equip dedicated facilitates where the development activities will take place. Learning will take place through networking meetings, lectures from visiting speakers, action learning sets, national management research projects, and exercises to strengthen professional networks. The project will ensure staff training workshops are developed and executed for the Indonesian university staff responsible for implementing the new network and programme. During the life of the project, 500 Indonesian leaders and managers will engage with the LMDN, and 208 will be developed through the LMDP with a demonstrable impact on their capacity to operate the governance, strategic plans and management of HEIs. In the year following the project, it is expected that a minimum of 192 additional leaders will benefit from taking the LMDP and that at least 14 additional Indonesian universities will have adopted it, enhancing the capacity for reform nationally.

BUiLD stands for “Building Universities in Leading Disaster Resilience”.Opportunities for HEIs to promote disaster resilience are multi-layered and range from awareness raising within individuals, curriculum development, building institutional disaster resilience and contributing to community resilience to supporting regional, national and international disaster resilience strategies. Comprehensive endeavours within HEIs to build disaster resilience must be strategic as well as operationally and academically embedded, and must be built on a proactive engagement with external stakeholder groups The BUiLD project is designed to contribute to the modernisation of HEI governance across Indonesia, the improvement of the management and functioning of HEIs, the strengthening of relations between HEIs and the wider social and economic environment, as well as curriculum development. It does so through the creation of a comprehensive disaster resilience framework for HEIs in Indonesia with six associated primary outputs, which areBUiLD Best Practice Model for HEI GovernanceBUiLD Disaster Response and Recovery BlueprintBUiLD Curriculum Benchmarks for Disaster ManagementBUiLD Disaster Awareness Campaign and Training MethodologyBUiLD Disaster Resilience Centres of ExcellenceBUiLD Disaster Resilience NetworkThe project will create a Centre of Excellence in Disaster Resilience in each participating Indonesian HEI. These centres will oversee the implementation of a comprehensive Disaster Resilience Framework within the respective HEIs. This framework integrates resilience capacity building at multiple levels of HEIs, including the individual, programme, institutional and network level. It addresses several aspect of resilience capacity building, including HEI governance, disaster response and recovery capability, disaster awareness education, curriculum development, internal and external information exchange and knowledge transfer. Through this, the project aims to inc
