To expand the skills of the international departments of higher schools, RA Ministry of Education and Science and partners for strategic management, marketing and inter-cultural communication challenges, as well as the basics for the realization of credit mobility, ensuring systemic approaches towards the problems of internationalization management;

To create or enforce the resources and pro-service centres in the internationalization departments of Armenian higher schools, including elaboration of the strategic and marketing programmes and toolkits.

The programme issues will be realized on the institutional, regional and national levels through detailed planned actions, including holding workshops and training courses on strategy planning, international relations management and structural reforms in partner universities.
