Five European partners from Italy, Ireland, Portugal and Slovenia and five Palestinian partners are working together to support the modernization, accessibility and internalization of higher education institutions in Palestine.
UniGov is a project of international cooperation selected for co-financing under the Erasmus + Capacity Building program in Higher Education during the period 15 October 2016 - 14 October 2019.
The project will address weaknesses in the existing governance systems across HEIs in Palestine. By establishing a comparative study with European benchmark universities, UniGov aims to establish a common governance framework and promote the adoption of innovative practices to improve university governance in Palestine.

Higher education in Palestine is considered prosperous and challenging. Prosperous because of the motivation of the Palestinians to share their experiences with others and to learn from them. Challenging because Palestine is not yet considered as an independent state.
On 3-6 September, the Palestinian universities and the EU partners from Cork University, Ljubljana University, Siena University and UNIMED gathered at the University of Evora in Portugal for the 4th management meeting of the project and the third and last study visit of the UniGov project.
On June 10-14, the study visit of the project uniGOV was organized at the University of Cork in Ireland. Several Palestinian universities, members of the project, attended the initiative. The UCC, represented by a group of experts, presented a variety of presentations on the principles and mechanisms of governance at the university in various fields trying to convey their experience and expertise to the Palestinian institutions.
