International Projects
Our Project Portfolio

Gordon Academic College works with the European Commission, UN agencies, foreign ministries, philanthropic foundations and partner universities across more than a dozen countries.

Global academic cooperation
Projects that connect research, education and international impact.

Gordon Academic College of Education has been an active participant in international academic cooperation since 2012. Over more than a decade, we have built a project portfolio that spans Erasmus+ Capacity Building, bilateral government-funded research, UN-affiliated initiatives and philanthropic partnerships across Europe, the Middle East, Latin America and beyond.

We engage in international projects not as a peripheral participant but as a substantive academic partner, contributing expertise in teacher education, multicultural pedagogy, inclusive education and educational research at every stage of project design, implementation and evaluation.

Our portfolio reflects what we believe international cooperation should be: long-term, reciprocal and grounded in genuine institutional commitment.

Active projects
12 ongoing projects
