This report is based on the Education, Audiovisual and Culture Executive Agency's evaluation of reports (interim, monitoring, final and impact) of the first generation of CBHE projects selected in 2015. In 2015, two projects were selected for an EU funding, namely: (1) Internationalisation of Higher Education in Iran (561753-EPP-1-2015-1-ES-EPPKA2-CBHE-JP) Region 9 Country: Iran; and (2) International MSc Educational Programme in Environmental Management and Modelling (561967-EPP-1-2015-1-SE-EPPKA2-CBHE-JP) Region 9 Countries: Iran and Iraq. The report is analysing the role of the CBHE action regarding the impact and sustainability of the funded projects. More specifically, the report will look into the institutional development of higher education institutions (HEIs), their modernisation of study programmes their teaching and learning methodologies, structural reforms and the strengthening of their technical capacities. It will then focus on opportunities created for individuals (students, academic and administrative staff). The report will also examine how the EU projects have influenced national policy developments in the education sector, despite the fact that for the years in question no Structural Projects are active in the country.(As Provided)
