APPLICATION FORM. In this section, please declare: the objectives and expected results of the project (see section 1), the planned activities, the description of Work packages (see section 2 and 3), and the financial and economic sustainability profile (section 4). 1. Objectives and expected results a) strengthen the Italian higher education system in Argentina and contribute to the consolidation of the European higher education area (Bologna Declaration and subsequent inter-ministerial communications); b) improve the attractiveness and interest in the Italian higher education system in Argentina, also as a "model" of international higher education; c) contribute to the indications and guidelines deriving from the bilateral government agreements on higher education, cultural and scientific cooperation, the strategies posed by the EU, the OECD, the ONU 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the DNSH (Do Not Significant Harm)-principle. The following project lines will effectively help with the general objectives described above: - TNE Double/Joint Degree. Stimulate a joint implementation of academic educational courses. Implement double degrees and doctorates in co-supervision between Italian and Argentinian universities, promoting both the territorial distribution in the two countries and the dimensional diversity of the universities involved. There is a need to have comparative frameworks since the two higher education systems are very different. Studies on the recognition of Italian and Argentinian university qualifications, collaboration profiles on double/joint degrees and co- supervision of doctoral theses will also constitute that comparative analysis on academic qualifications between Italy and Argentina which Italy, unlike Spain, France, Germany, England has not yet formalized. This project line will contribute to objectives a), b) and c). - TNE Professors/Researchers Promote bilateral cooperation on teaching, research and transfer of knowledge and skills through a mobility plan for professors and researchers within specific research projects of bilateral interest. A strategy that will promote the European area of education and research and will offer important results in terms of scientific and cultural cooperation between Italian and Argentinian academic institutions, will identify new international partnerships and strengthen existing networks. This project line will contribute to objectives a) and c). - TNE Students - TNE Advanced Skills An information system, together with its digital counterpart, reporting on the project lines results as well as on the quantitative indicators and impacts will contribute to a mutual learning platform. 1.1.
