The short term impact of the HealthI (acronym; working title is Heath-I) project is the creation of a solid foundation of necessary knowledge and tools to develop locally an innovative, post-graduate education program in clinical epidemiology and big data. The long term impact of the Health-I project is the improvement of the health outcomes of the Indonesian population by building a critical mass of health researchers, particularly physicians, to generate evidence for health practice and policy.The Health-I project has the following objectives:1. Strengthen the capacity in clinical epidemiological and big data research by training the next generation of physicians and building a Community of Practice with experts in health research that are equipped to self-sustain, develop and amplify knowledge in this field of expertise;2. Enhance the capacity of teaching in (clinical) epidemiology and big data by training of trainers;3. Access to high quality education without limits of time and space by increasing the capacity to develop online education;4. Promote mutual understanding, exchange of good practices and collaborations between the partners.These objectives should be reached using the following tools:1. Developing and offering of online courses for physicians;2. Onsite training sessions with Indonesian trainers and participants in support of the online courses to guarantee indispensable social interaction among participants and staff from both Indonesia and Europe;3. Conduct of research projects supervised by European and Indonesian experts;4. Teaching of skills needed for the development of online education, including the use of technical facilities needed for developmentThe sustainability of the project is guaranteed through the train the trainer component, a business model for the online courses and continuing PhD training after the project. The results of the project will be disseminated actively via the consortium partners and their network.

Engineering has a pivotal role to play in solving humanitarian challenges, enabling communities to progress towards sustainable development. Because the issues of humanitarianism are not just engineering problems, there is need to introduce new designs of engineering education to embrace and exploit combinational expertise in community-based engineering. ENHANCE aims at nurturing humanitarian attributes through engineering education for serving unsupported communities effectively and responsibly, in identifying problems and defining sustainable solutions. The novelty of ENHANCE lies in integrating highly diverse, yet complementary, expertise in engineering Higher Education (HE). The objectives of the project involve: (a) mapping professional attributes for mitigating humanitarian challenges over the next 15 years; (b) assessing and evaluating current graduate engineering programmes in Partner Institutions under the enablers needed to ensure humanitarian attributes to graduates; (c) setting up tools for evaluating graduate engineering programmes; (c) building capacity in the field of community-based engineering with interventions in curriculum content, assessment and feedback, methods of delivery; (d) tasting, adopting and implementing in current curricula innovative (i.e. inclusive, interdisciplinary, problem-based) teaching and learning methodologies; (e) developing and testing the ENHANCE Training Kit for staff development/training. Outputs of the project will be disseminated to audiences from HE educators and students in the partner countries; modern media (podcasts, video’s, etc.) will be utilised to share insights with a wide audience. ENHANCE will allow us to ensure advancement of community-based engineering directly to a range of Official Development Assistance (ODA) recipients and to instigate longer-term developments with beneficiaries and end users. Nevertheless, outputs of this project will be applicable to many other countries facing global challenges.

Two important elements of healthcare workforce development are access to information and quality higher education. Health sciences staff, students and healthcare professionals in low- and middle-income countries lack access to high quality health information adapted to their specific needs. Access to high quality education becomes more important for future healthcare professionals, amongst others because an accelerating digitalisation needs matching digital competencies. In Indonesia and Cambodia, these problems are excacerbated respectively by a spread-out geography and a challenging economical situation. Both countries want to enhance quality of their Higher Education (HE) and improve university support services.This project addressses the above needs by:1) Building up the capacity of techno-pedagogical staff, so they can assist teaching staff in implementing innovative techno-pedagogical projects in teaching & training2) Building up the capacity of health libraries and specialized librarians, so they can improve service for HEI staff & students and train them in digital information management skills 3) Ensuring open access to high-quality scientific and educational resources for HEI staff & students and healthcare professionals, via the development of platforms and supporting teaching and academic staff in posting high quality content on these platforms. The content will also be exploited by healthcare professionals. The impact of this project will be sustained beyond the project end, by (1) making sure that training is tailored to the needs of the HEIs; (2) subscribing to the vision and the strategy of the partner HEIs and (3) ensuring co-ownership of all digital platforms through a network of experts from Partner HEIs. The innovative platform will focus on infectious and (neglected) tropical diseases as a case study, given the specific expertise of all consortium partners. As such, this project aims to improve HE and ultimately healthcare quality in SEA.
