The support of European programmes in the Internalization process of engineering courses: DIEGO project — Development of high quality courses on renewable technologies and energy efficiency

Abstract

The Internalization process of Higher Education Institutions find, in European programme, the instruments for the modernization of the didactic offer, according transnational high quality standards, the promotion of the mobility of staff and students, accessibility and equity. DIEGO project, funded by European Commission, as Capacity building in the field of higher education, aims at establishing six innovative courses in six Latin American Universities with the collaboration of European partners.
