Project Summary

The project aims to ensure that the universities in Jordan and Syria can offer a high quality education compatible with European standards and meets the market needs of the emerging knowledge-based society by strengthening environmental teaching.

EGREEN will thus contribute to a sustainable outcome that will promote curriculum reform in engineering education and leave a longer-term legacy for Jordanian and Syrian universities. All project’s partners have rich experience and successful track record and active participation in Tempus projects which will ensure that the consortium will achieve EGREEN objectives.It is envisaged that these specific objectives will contribute to a sustainable outcome that will promote curriculum reform in environmental engineering education and leave a longer-term legacy for both Jordanian and Syrian Partner universities.
