Erasmus+ training projects

Coordinator: University of Montpellier

Dates: December 1, 2025 – November 30, 2028

Description: The Green Gecko project aims to combat climate change by improving engineering education in Southeast Asia. Engineers play a crucial role in designing and implementing solutions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and build a sustainable future.

The project identified two main challenges: the lack of integration of climate change issues into engineering education and the lack of links between universities and industry. To address this, Green Gecko will introduce a new educational approach to equip the future workforce with the knowledge and skills needed for carbon neutrality. It will bring together four universities in Thailand, four in the Philippines, and four in Europe, with the active support of industry partners.

This project builds on the CBHE GECKO project (2017-2021), which aimed to improve engineering education by adding interpersonal and managerial skills. To achieve its objectives, it plans to: (1) develop new modules and methodologies for training engineers and teachers; (2) set up a network to strengthen collaboration between academia and industry; (3) conduct a pilot phase to test the effectiveness of the training modules with students.

Geographical area:Maghreb

Title:Co-construction of a Training Program Aimed at High Employability

Project description: Theproject aims to improve the employability of young Algerian graduates by meeting the needs of the socio-economic sector for directly employable middle managers. Professional bachelor's degrees are not currently fulfilling their expected role because they lack appeal for students and potential employers. The project therefore aims to give the socio-economic sector a voice to express its needs and create professional bachelor's degrees that meet those needs.

Role of the UM: Coordinator

Duration: October 15, 2015– March 14, 2019

Target countries: Algeria

Main beneficiaries: Highschool students, college students, the socio-economic world, and universities.

Objectives: Theexpected results are the launch of a total of 18 pilot bachelor's degree programs, two per Algerian university. To date, the needs for middle management in the socio-economic sector have been identified. Based on these needs, Algerian universities have made three proposals for professional bachelor's degree programs that they would like to launch as part of the project. At the same time, and in preparation for the launch of these bachelor's degrees, the consortium has worked on producing a structural matrix, a procedure for co-constructing highly employable training courses, and a directory of training courses, skills, and professions.
Algerians will also benefit from training in "professionalization of training," and each university will send four teachers to European partners to benefit from a transfer of skills.
