Central projects aim to develop new and innovative approaches to common problems in the fields of higher education, vocational education, school education, adult education, youth, and sports by collaborating with a wide range of institutions/organizations across Europe such as academia, private sector, public institutions, and civil society. These large-scale and high-budget international projects focus on improving higher education standards, enhancing the innovation capacity of sectors through university-industry collaborations, addressing skills gaps in sectors, increasing entrepreneurship, and improving vocational education capacities in non-European countries. Each project under this program receives a budget of 4 million Euros.
