In order to develop a student-centered learning environment, cover successfully the needs of a growing diverse population of children in China, India and Cambodia with a variety of multi-cultural, multi- linguistics and multi-ability needs and respond to the gap in skills set in the labour market and society, shortage of qualified teachers and poor level of student learning this proposal aims at transferring knowledge, best practices and experience on innovative and ICT-based teaching methodology on 21st skills acquisition from HEIs in Programme Countries to the HEIs of Partner Countries that will be benefitted directly from this project. This project worked under Department Information Technology of Engineering of Faculty Engineering, aims to

  • - Improve the quality of higher education and life-long learning by offering online learning system and transferring new teaching ICT-based methodologies to the Partner Countries as well as innovative assessment tools for evaluation of 21stcentury skills. -Enhance the relevance of education for the labour market and society by making the acquisition of 21st skills the highest priority for pupils and thus contributing to the upskilling of school graduates who want to be incorporated in the labor market and will prepared to satisfy the ever-growing demands of a globalized market.
  • - Improve the level of competences and skills in the HEIs by developing new and innovative education courses for pre-service and in-service teachers and educators, which will modernise the curricula offered and will offer innovative MOOCs.
  • - Enhance the innovation capacities as well as the internationalisation of HEIs by promoting transnational cooperation and networking in the field of application and tool development and better exploitation of ICT potential, use of toolboxes for learning and extent use of virtual platforms for learning, as well as by developing common pedagogical practices in a globalized market.
  • - Promote voluntary convergence with EU developments of curriculum development in the field of education studies in higher education system through the sharing of best practices and know-how and the promotion of e-learning. -Promote people-to-people contacts, intercultural awareness and understanding with the development of an open digital education platform which will launch a section for learning communities in the educational platform for academics and will help grow them into something influential in the field of Education. Exchange of best practices, tools and methodologies will help the development of personal contacts and the enriching of professional knowledge without the limits of borders or specific to a culture. Concerning the feasibility of project objectives, there is broad confidence in the great capacity of the EU- HEIs which have qualified academic personnel with great expertise on the field of education and implementation of EU projects. The EU-HEIs have contributed to the design of a project that has feasible goals. Additionally, the Asian HEIs have assessed the need and challenges of educational reform in their countries and region and how the skills should meet the needs of the labor market as well as the challenges of the globalized world.

SDGs
SDGs Project: Sustainable Development Goals in Journalism Reporting Effective 15 may 2020

Media is an important stakeholder in regard to societies reaching the goals of development-both as a contributor and a beneficiary. Notwithstanding, the Communication and media studies curriculum in the Asian HEIs seem to not successfully match with the skills required for effective sustainable development reporting in order to delivery the 2030 Agenda. The new courses will respond to the need for modernization of curricula in journalism and media reporting in the PC-HEIs, the need for journalist education with focus on sustainable development as well as the need for strong journalistic and pluralistic media system and the process of sustainable development. The curriculum content is designed to install the skills and level of data literacy necessary to produce both short data stories on a deadline as well as longer in-depth stories that explain underlying development challenges facing the region through data and digital storytelling. By choosing what is in a story, how the story is told, and the diversity of stories, journalists and editors have the capacity to enhance or limit the information people will use to form opinions and make decisions. Specifically, the objective pursued is in department of Media and Communication of Faculty of Social Science and Humanities of RUPP.

ANGEL
ANGEL Project: ASEAN Network for Green Entrepreneurship and Leadership/ ANGEL Effective :15 Jan 2021

A creation of strong network for green entrepreneurship and transformational leadership can be a catalyst for innovation and development as well as sustainable transformation (EU, ASEAN, UNDP, UNESCO, OECD). ANGEL aims to build the capacity necessary in eleven ASEAN Universities for balancing the high potential economic growth and innovation in the partner countries with their lack of capacities in green entrepreneurship as well as resolving entrenched issues and challenges of poverty, low quality jobs in the informal sector, digital divide and leadership gaps.

Its objectives are:
  • - to address green entrepreneurship and transformational leadership and social innovation challenges. The ASEAN nations involved in this ANGEL project is at the lower spectrum of innovation, high-tech sectors and effective sanitation. Still, they have developed aspirations to improve living conditions by moving from a subsistence agricultural economy to commercial-based farming as well as high-based technology and energy. This is where ANGEL aims to create a difference in supporting such transition economies in Lao PDR, Vietnam and Cambodia.
  • - to build a high calibre network of future green entrepreneurial-leaders with effective and efficient style of management who could uphold ethics and good governance while able to connect with the local/regional and international market ecosystem with a multiplier effect in the ASEAN region. ANGEL takes issues of leadership as a prime concern in order to improve current institutional settings and professional practices which in some contexts are laden with cases of cronyism, corruptions and incompetence.
Against the above general aims of ANGEL, the project specifically designs the following objectives in the hope to develop an innovative green entrepreneurial-leadership ecosystem that will foster:
  • - Guidance: an online guide will offer practical, personalized information for building and leading a green enterprise; a targeted training programme, complemented with personal coaching will support the creation of start-ups.
  • - Engagement: a university network will reach and mobilize both internal and external stakeholders through its ANGEL- Innovate Unit. Internal stakeholders would include faculty members, administrative staff, researchers, students and relevant external partners could be social entrepreneurs, start-ups and government agencies that relates to green entrepreneurship). The ANGEL- Innovate unit will orient learners to the process of design thinking; effective and responsible leadership, supporting grassroot green entrepreneurship and developing patent/copyright.
  • - Exchanges and sharing: the ANGEL-Hub will be a centre for the development of early-stage startups in green technologies, energy and sustainable development; the ANGEL-Site will provide all the information for the development and visibility of startups; the ANGEL-Community will connect all relevant parties in the University and external stakeholders in exchanging experiences and ideas.
  • - Support: the ANGEL-Enterprise team will have the mission to support and advance ANGEL in the long term through a) the development of expertise in the commercialization of Universities’ knowledge and technology, b) partnership-building with the external regional/national/international entrepreneurial ecosystem.
It’s was capacity building an Industrial Linkage and National Incubation Center.
