Written by: Adel Khelifi on August 14, 2026

The University of Monastir announced that it had won three new projects under the Erasmus+ Capacity Building in Higher Education (CBHE) program, thereby strengthening its presence in international networks of academic cooperation.

This achievement, according to the university, reflects its aim to develop effective international partnerships, support innovation, and continually improve the quality of higher education and scientific research.

Health, Modern Technologies, and Skills Development

The new projects notably focus on strengthening skills and integrating modern technologies into health professions in the Middle East and North Africa region.

The objective is to accompany the evolution of professional and academic practices in the health sector, while promoting the acquisition of new skills adapted to technological transformations.

Circular Economy and Waste Valorization

Another aspect concerns innovation and knowledge development in the field of the circular economy and waste valorization.

These initiatives aim to promote more sustainable practices, by strengthening university and scientific competencies in areas that have become essential in facing environmental challenges and the need for better resource management.

Digital Pedagogical Clinics in Public Health

The projects also plan the development of digital pedagogical clinics in the field of public health, in order to better address issues related notably to climate change and migratory phenomena.

This approach aims to bring together training, digital innovation, and contemporary health issues, while offering new pedagogical tools to students and professionals.

Expanding International Cooperation

These new projects confirm the international momentum of the University of Monastir and its commitment to innovation, academic excellence, and international cooperation.

The institution particularly continues to strengthen its partnerships with universities and various structures active in several regions around the world, including the Middle East and North Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa, Southern Africa, and Latin America, notably Brazil.

Erasmus+ CBHE, a programme supported by the European Union

The Erasmus+ Capacity Building in Higher Education (CBHE) program is an international initiative funded by the European Union. It aims to support the modernization, development, and improvement of the quality of higher education systems and higher education institutions in partner countries that do not participate fully in the Erasmus+ program.

Among its main objectives are modernizing university curricula, creating new specialties meeting the needs of the job market, improving management, governance and quality assurance mechanisms, as well as establishing durable strategic partnerships between European universities and the higher education institutions of partner countries.
