EUA and University of Barcelona providing Centralised Support for Higher Education Reform Experts in European Neighbourhood countries
For the next three years, the SPHERE Consortium (Support and Promotion for Higher Education Reform Experts) composed of the University of Barcelona (Coordinator) and the European University Association (EUA) will be jointly in charge of the HERE project.
