Objectives and mission of the HEREs

The purpose of the National Teams of Higher Education Reform Experts is to provide a pool of expertise in order to promote reforms and enhance progress in Higher Education in the countries concerned and therefore participate in the development of policies and reforms in Higher Education in their respective country.

 

Profile of the HEREs

The HERE scheme is a “peer-to-peer” exercise. Although HEREs do not replace the work done by Ministries, Rectors Conferences, Quality Assurance Agencies, academic recognition centres, National Erasmus+ Offices (NEOs), etc., they should be well embedded in the national higher education environment and cooperate closely with national authorities.

As a group, each national team of HEREs must have the necessary knowledge and expertise to provide counselling to institutions and peers on the different areas covered under their mandate. In this context, the composition of the team must provide a suitable balance between the various profiles (academic/administrative/Student representatives) and fields of competences. The inclusion of at least one student within the team should be ensured. In order to ensure that each members of the team has the knowledge and competences required to fulfil the tasks assigned, training will be provided through international training events suchs as conferences, seminars and study visits.

The size of each national team of HEREs will vary in accordance with the size of the country and the number of higher education institutions, with an estimated number of 5 to 15 members per team. A Chair will have to be identified by each national team of HEREs with the responsibility of coordinating the activities of the group and being the privileged contact person for external stakeholders.

 

Appointment of the HEREs

HERE teams will be designated (renewed or reconfirmed) for a period of 3 years (renewable) starting as from 01 January 2015.

HERE candidates (new or already in place) will be proposed by the NEOs and the national authorities in the Partner Countries. This proposal will have to be endorsed by the respective EU Delegation and confirmed by the EACEA in line with the criteria defined by the European Commission.

Currently The Egyptian HEREs team consists of 15 members, representing public and private HEIs from the capital and regions, as well as Ministry of Education and Science and National Center for Educational Quality Enhancement:
