About:
HEBA is a three years
project started on October 15, 2017, and funded by the European Union through
Erasmus+ programme.
The project
aims to reform and improve existing master programs in Energy Efficiency (EE)
and Renewable Energy (RE) on single technology and energy systems level,
improving existing or establishing Centers/Laboratories of EE+RE in Jordan,
Lebanon, and Egypt.
The consortium
will help the society to protect the earth. It will help in providing qualified
professional resources capable of sustaining and managing the huge effort of
EE+RE infrastructure development. Special emphasis will be given to advanced
energy management. HEBA will be oriented to further development of the process
of interaction with professional communities and reflects their requirements in
the developed curriculum.
The EU
experience is a major component in the success of the HEBA project. The
courses/modules and adapted curricula within HEBA project should be based on
the needs and challenges of the building/industry/energy sectors.
Specific Objectives:
HEBA establishes new
modules on Energy Efficiency (EE) and Renewable Energy (RE) that includes EU
quality standards; promotion of students and Prof’s mobility; internationalization
of education/training and the use of digital technologies in learning.
The specific objectives
are:
1. Increase the local
competences on Energy Efficiency (EE) and Renewable Energy (RE);
2. Develop/reform
new/existing master courses in EE+RE systems;
3. Train-the-Trainer
courses for 90 MENA teachers;
4. Promote the dialogue
between EU and higher education institutions in MENA countries in order to
facilitate the reciprocal recognition of competences and credits, informing on
EU University system: Bologna Process, Quality Evaluation and
Internationalization;
5. Establish/improve
centers/laboratories of EE+RE Technologies in every MENA partner country; they
will collaborate with each other;
6. Promote the mobility of
students and staff and the universities cooperation;
7. Contribute to guidelines
for best practice for EE+RE in industry and buildings
