International capacity-building projects in the field of higher education enable partner institutions and countries to share best practices, increase access to higher education, and address challenges facing their institutions or countries. Capacity-building projects frequently focus on curriculum development, faculty/staff training, or strengthening governance or management of higher education institutions or systems.
UC Berkeley participates in a wide number of capacity-building projects internationally, many of which aim to further internationalize the UC Berkeley campus while bringing critical resources to campus. A few examples of recent initiatives are highlighted below.
