RISHI Project co- funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union

An EU Strategy on India signed 20 Nov 2018 reiterates the need to work with India on internationally recognizable degrees – to focus on Internationalization of Curriculum (IoC).

RISHII focuses on management approaches and modus operandi necessary to plan and implement curriculum internationalization. The focus is on improving communication and collaboration between the different agents (who should be) involved in curriculum internationalization. Through adopting the tools and procedures proposed by RISHII, Indian Higher Education Institutions will be able to significantly improve their management and operation.

RISHII focuses on equipping project participants with skills in strategic planning and globally open pedagogy. It works on common needs of all Higher Education (HE) programs and chose to work with diverse programs exactly to help Indian Partners see that Curriculum Internationalization principles are generic, applicable to any area of studies and, therefore, once mastered can be cascaded to ALL programs offered by a Higher Education Institutions (HEIs).
