ITP are projects that focus on short- to medium-term, intensive, interactive and practice-oriented training courses, distinguished by topic.
These topics can be about sustainable development, transversal skills for higher education (HE) management, transversal or priority themes (e.g. gender, sustainable development, human rights, digital 4 development, decent work, etc).
Through International Training Programme projects, HE institutions (HEIs) aim to systematically integrate global perspectives. In doing so, they create a supportive, inclusive and networked learning environment in which individual scholars, professionals and academics acquire transversal skills and state-of-the-art knowledge on sustainable development. This enables them to become experts and critical global citizens, motivated to act as change agents in their network.
Professionals from civil society, the private or public sector and/or academics, scientists, and researchers at HEIs with relevant professional experience in the subject of the organised training.
