Promoting Internationalisation, Inclusion and Innovation at Higher Education Institutions

3-IN-AT-PLUS 2022-2024 is already the fourth project of the Austrian Federal Ministry of Education, Science and Research (BMBWF), Unit IV/11 to support the implementation of the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) in Austria and internationally. As for the predecessors, the OeAD, Austria’s Agency for Education and Internationalisation is responsible for coordination and implementation of the project as affiliated entity.

3-IN-AT-PLUS takes up the results of the Bologna Process Implementation Report 2020 and the priorities of the Rome Communiqué (2020) and draws from the suggestions of the Austrian national Bologna Follow-Up Group (BFUG) to ensure focusing on the needs of the target group. For three years, the project will contribute to realizing the vision of an „inclusive, innovative and interconnected EHEA” on a national and international level. 3-IN-AT-PLUS‘ outputs will be disseminated by newsletters of the OeAD and through the national BFUG and they will feed into the working structures of the European BFUG.

3-IN-AT-PLUS‘ work program offers a broad range of consulting, training, international networking opportunities and information for actors at Austrian higher education institutions as well as other stakeholders involved in education policy. In cooperation with national ministries (Iceland, Croatia, Lithuania), consultative members of the BFUG (ENQA, EUA, EURASHE) and other partners, international events and activities will be implemented which will contribute to networking and discussion at the European level. In addition to the Austrian partners and the “National Team of Experts for the European Higher Education Area”, organisations from eight other countries (Croatia, Germany, Iceland, Ireland, Lithuania, The Netherlands, Rumania, Sweden) could be won as partners.
