This call for applications aims to select 20 beneficiary universities. 

These centers, located on university campuses in areas with high social challenges, will have the mission of sustainably providing (during the project and beyond): 

• Internal university services (targeting students and recent graduates): training in employability and digital skills, micro-credentials, and pre-incubation schemes for student entrepreneurship projects; 

• External university services (for vulnerable populations): training in literacy and digital professionalization, open to the surrounding community and delivered by students. 

The selection of the 20 universities will be carried out following this call for applications, based on various criteria (location, organizational capacity, social dimension, impact, sustainability, etc.). 

Project duration: 3 years (project closure in August 2028).

Countries of implementation:  Cyprus, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine.
