This animated video introduces the SPHERE initiative, explaining how it supports the Higher Education Reform Experts (HERE) network by fostering cooperation, policy dialogue, and capacity building in third countries neighbouring the EU.

These activities cover four key regions: the Southern Mediterranean, the Western Balkans, the Neighbourhood East, and Central Asia. Each country has a national HERE team.

The goal of the HERE network is to inspire policy change in higher education systems, improve institutional strategies and practices, promote European policies, and create links between universities and society, while strengthening cooperation with the EU's European Education Area and the wider European Higher Education Area.
