Key results of the project
- As part of the programme, the Multi-Donor Trust Fund was established and has since served as the central mechanism for coordinating international support. It enabled transparent management of resources, regular monitoring, and effective cooperation among partners, and continues to operate as a key instrument for sustaining coordinated donor engagement.
- Despite a challenging regional context, EHU continued to provide students with access to a high-quality academic environment grounded in openness, critical enquiry, and international standards. The university advanced its institutional development plan, earned long-term accreditation, and continued to improve study programmes, research activities, and digital infrastructure. Student numbers grew steadily during the reporting period, and satisfaction surveys showed consistently positive evaluations of the learning experience.
- The programme also provided targeted technical assistance to help EHU strengthen governance, modernise management systems, improve financial and administrative processes, and develop academic and digital solutions. By 2025, EHU had reached a level of operational maturity enabling it to manage most core processes independently, with external support shifting to an advisory role.
- Overall, the Action successfully contributed to EHU’s ongoing development, helping the university enhance its academic offer, reinforce institutional resilience, and maintain a stable learning environment for its community.
