TITLE – Subtitle – info / date

OUTLINE INTRODUCTION

I. PROMOTION

• Promotion Events

• On-line promotion (web-site, Facebook, videos, forums)

• Publications

• Support with applications

II. DISSEMINATION

• Ministry of Education

• EACEA/EAC

• Higher education community in your country

CONCLUSION

I. PROMOTION Gaps

We found little evidence of;

• promotion activities to address lesser-used priorities

• to reach new organisations that are not participating in the programme

• to reach HEIs in remote regions in larger countries

• to involved new departments in HEIs not already participating in the programme

• to ensure the involvement of the private sector in all curriculum development projects to ensure

they are relevant to labour-market needs.

Good Practice

A. PROMOTION EVENTS

Good Practice

Uzbekistan

Jordan

B. On-line Promotion

I. Web-sites

NEO web-sites have improved over the past few years. However, there are still

some basic problems;

-a number lack the EU disclaimer

Web-site ctd.

• Lay-out is not the most user-friendly and logical

• Broken links

• Web-pages, new sections, call information is not always up to date

• Not enough information about existing projects

• Individual feedback from your POs

Good Practice

NEO Albania NEO Armenia

On-line Promotion ctd.

ii. Facebook

More pictures of projects please

More videos of projects please

Good Practice

iii. Videos when they existed often showed more the NEO staff and official from

the Ministry or other national representatives rather than projects.

Good Practice

Moldova

Good Practice

Kyrgyzstan.

e. Publications

More publications on the programme please written in your

language – especially on project results and impact

Good Practice

f. Newsletters

Are people on the mailing list reading your newsletter?

How useful do they find it?

Very little evidence in reports of evaluation of the usefulness of the newsletters.

g. Support with applications

a. Some countries are bringing a former expert who worked on the selection to give a presentation. The difficulty is that the Call changes every year and so does our briefing of the experts. Their information could be out of date.

b. NEOs need to give more support with proposal- writing because we are still finding proposals written by consultants. Coordinators also need help with partner-search.

Good Practice

II. DISSEMINATION

Three key stakeholder groups

Ministry of Education

EACEA/ EAC

Higher Education Community

Ministry of Education

• Joined-up strategy working closely with the Ministry to promote the national

priorities in the programme?

• Structured communication with the Ministry of Education?

• Meeting on a regular basis with the Ministry to inform them of the outcomes of

Erasmus+ projects in their country?

• Sending reports to the Ministry on the results of the programme in-country?

• Participation of the Ministry in Structural Projects?

Good Practice

EACEA /DG EAC

•Recommendations on projects you consider to be examples of best practice,

especially if they are creating attractive communication tools

•Mechanisms to collect best practice?

•Ensure they upload their results on the project results platform

Best Practices

Please grade your field monitoring reports objectively so we can make the best

selection.

Higher Education Community in Your Country

Project exhibitions?

A national dissemination event for projects in your country?

Information on successful projects on your website?
