The complexity of nutrition as a discipline and practice tends to be overlooked; doctors, nurses and community health workers need specific preparation or guidance to deliver the nutrition services that health facilities are expected to deliver. When nutrition professionals are unavailable for field programs, international nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) may hire other workers, whose nutrition competencies may be highly variable. Studies on nutrition workforce capacity conducted in Palestine confirm the severe shortage of skilled clinical nutrition professionals. In addition, because of a shortage of nutritionists, the bulk of the nutrition interventions were done by health workers who lacked the skills to provide quality nutrition services.This project aims to enhance the clinical nutrition practice in Palestine and its role in the medical care process and has successfully achieved the following outputs:1. Assessment of academic and professional needs2. Training of academic staff and professionals and mobilization to European partner institutes3. Preparation of Clinical Nutrition manual 4. Development of Arabic food analyzer software5. Developing of Clinical Nutrition curricula 6. Development of food and nutrition laboratories7. Exposing best local students to EU reaching environment.At the longer run, the project has accomplished the following results:1. Reduced gap between academia and practical clinical nutrition sector2. Turning the focus of the stakeholders onto clinical nutrition as a component of health care process3. Knowledge and skill transfer to local nutrition workforce4. Raised community awareness towards nutrition knowledge and practice5. Networking with international academic and professional bodies

3DGarT addresses VET initial and continuous training in the garment sector, in Jordan and Palestine. It builds on the recommendations obtained by a previous Eramsus+ Capacity Building project for HEIs, on similar studies in Palestine and it follows the Priorities for Action from ETF for Human Capital Development in both countries. It aims at modernizing the offered VET training by incorporating the principles of 3D Garment Design into the curricula of Initial VET training and also in advancing the knowledge of existing employees in design departments.The project will draw knowledge from the participating HEIs and training providers, which offer courses on 3D Garment design, adapt it to the needs of VET providers and Final Users and transform it into curriculum, profile design and training reform actions for newcomers and for existing employees. It will improve the level of competences, skills and employability potential of VET learners by developing new and innovative VET education programs, by delivering key competences and ICT skills related to 3D garment design.The specific objectives of the projects are to: Establish an innovative lab center for creativity and design “Garment and Fashion Design Center” one in each country, to design and implement comprehensive training programs for students, semi-skilled workers, trainers, stakeholders based on the assessment of needs including study tours for selected participants to an internationally renowned fashion institution, to developing and implement promotional and marketing strategies and materials including a market outlook, and assisting workshops/entrepreneurs to consolidate business linkages with local and international markets.Work is accomplished in 6 work packages, and the consortium consists of HEIs, a Technical College, NPOs and a Technological Centre, specialised in training for the textile and garment sector.

Disability support is the main aim of our project. We aim at establishing an “Inclusive Education Unit” that follows the international standards with the objective of equality in Education, Activities, and Services for students with disabilities. Edu4ALL is an innovative project to empower students with disabilities academically, socially, and psychologically through 4 goals: 1)reach; 2)development; 3)equity & quality;4)sustainability. Edu4ALL aims to reach students with disabilities and to build their capacity by including them in universities programs and increasing the successful participation of them; to build the capacity of staff (lecturers, administrative, and technician) and to ensure they are well trained for teaching and serving students with disabilities; to ensure that the educational experiences that students receive are high quality; and to ensure sustainability. The institution and classroom will operate on the premise that students with disabilities are as fundamentally competent as students without disabilities. Therefore, all students can be full participants in their classrooms and in the local institution community.

MS@CPS is a collaborative effort among EU and MENA countries for the establishment of an International Master of Computer Systems on Cyber Physical Systems. The envisioned master programme will focus on the contemporary recent technologies in the fields of Embedded Systems (ES) and Knowledge-based Systems (KBS) that provide the needed expertise for a CPS education and tremendous economic opportunities and furthermore span various important applications in our daily life such as: Internet of Things (IoT), autonomous cars, smart phones, embedded systems, big data, semantic computing, cloud computing, etc.The curriculum of MS@CPS program will be designed by analyzing the existing curricula in the area of embedded and knowledge-based systems, then a field study of market requirements and needs in the MENA region will be conducted. In parallel, the consortium members will review and examine pedagogical teaching and learning methods to fulfil the program objectives. Further, the curriculum of MS@CPS will be strongly aligned with the special requirements of the industry in the MENA countries in order to establish the skills of the students for strengthening the economy. In particular, MS@CPS will arrange several activities in cooperation with the industry partners to provide an open platform for students and industry, which will strengthen the students' skills and establish joint internships and master thesis. By providing solid skills in entrepreneurship and adopting proven mechanisms from program countries, the graduated students of MS@CPS will be able to establish their own start-ups. By enrolling in this program, the students will benefit from the multi-cultural experience and contact with different teaching styles responding to labour market needs, foster innovation and create top talents as the mobility readiness and complex system solution handling are highly valued skills for technology-driven companies.
