The Harmony Project addresses the process of Internationalisation of Higher Education (IoHE) (with focus on Internationalisation at Home – IaH) in Asian countries as the one that requires immediate institutional response and actions. Enabling Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) to strategically manage internationalisation in the provision of education, research, mobility and services are regarded to be the project’s overall objective and the main underpinning of Partner countries’ accountable and complementary role in EU-Asia cooperation development. The project’s key target groups are academics, researchers, students and administrators who are participating or wish to participate in international collaboration. The overall objective of the project is to strengthen PC HEIs’ internationalisation capabilities and to develop students’ global competence through the integration of intercultural dimensions into PC HEIs’ formal and informal curriculum.
