U.S. Department of State sponsored “Collaborative Capacity Building: Integrated, Sustained and Data-Informed Course Improvement” project aimed to develop a partnership between the American University of Iraq, Sulaimani (AUIS) and Texas university (TUNI) faculty to strengthen AUIS’s institutional capacity, build Iraqi and female capacity, and take the university to the next level of academic excellence.

This project is a partnership between Texas International Education Consortium (TIEC) and the U.S. Embassy Manila,Education USA, and the Philippine Commission of Higher Education to provide capacity building and technical assistance to faculty toward enhancing virtual instruction among identified higher education institutes within the Philippines. 

With the sponsorship of the U.S. State Department and the U.S. Embassy - Cairo, the Texas International Education Consortium (TIEC) will leverage relationships with the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research in Egypt to provide a platform for participants to share innovations and current research at their universities and specifically in the field of renewable energy. In addition, participants will gain an understanding of opportunities for partnerships and create an action plan for collaborative programming between Egyptian and Texas faculty. Long-term, this project will lead to sustained partnerships for institutions of higher education and strengthened ties between the U.S. and Egypt.
