Erasmus+ | Capacity building in higher Education
The Capacity Building in Higher Education (CBHE) action supports international cooperation projects based on multilateral partnerships between organisations active in the field of higher education. The activities and outcomes of CBHE projects must be geared to benefit the eligible third countries not associated to the Programme, their higher education institutions and systems.
CBHE distinguishes between three funding strands:
- Strand 1: Fostering access to cooperation in Higher Education
- Strand 2: Partnership for transformation
- Strand 3: Structural reform projects
A consortium consists of at least one higher education institution from two different program countries and at least two higher education institutions from each partner country participating in the project. There are many exceptions and additional rules (see Erasmus Program Guide 2025).
The projects in Strand 1 and Strand 2 must fulfill a priority:
- Environmental sustainability
- Inclusion and diversity
- Digital transformation
- Civil society engagement and participation
- Growth and jobs
