Jordan University Joins AI Education Project

Al-Hussein Bin Talal University in Jordan has secured a place in the MED-BALKAN AI EDU project, funded under the European Union's Erasmus+ programme. The 24-month project, with a total budget of 400,000 euros, is coordinated by the University of Pristina and focuses on AI applications in education.

Why it matters

The project aims to strengthen higher-education institutions through AI-supported teaching and digital transformation, which could shape how students in participating countries learn and access courses. It brings together academic partners from Europe and the Arab world to exchange institutional expertise.

The project carries a total budget of 400,000 euros and runs for 24 months under the Capacity Building in Higher Education Strand 1 of Erasmus+. Partners include institutions in Portugal, Lithuania, Kosovo, Egypt, and Jordan.

The details

The MED-BALKAN AI EDU project is funded through the Capacity Building in Higher Education strand of the European Union's Erasmus+ programme, which supports institutional partnerships between European and partner-country universities. The University of Pristina in Kosovo coordinates the project, working with partners from Portugal, Lithuania, Egypt, and Jordan, including Al-Balqa Applied University and Al-Hussein Bin Talal University. Partner institutions exchange academic and institutional expertise to build AI-supported educational practices and digital teaching methods. Ms. Rab'a Abu Hilaleh of the International Relations Department at Al-Hussein Bin Talal University coordinated and followed up on the project.

The project will be implemented over a 24-month period beginning with its award.

Education Landscape

The project sits within Erasmus+'s Capacity Building in Higher Education strand, which funds cross-border university partnerships beyond the European Union. It reflects a wider push to bring AI-supported teaching and digital transformation into universities in partner regions.

If you are a student at one of the partner universities, watch for new AI-supported courses and digital teaching methods as the project rolls out over its 24-month timeline. Ask your university's international relations or academic office how project outcomes may reach your programme.

The takeaway

International partnerships are increasingly channeling funding into AI-supported teaching, which may change the digital tools available to students over the next few years. If you are considering a programme at a partner institution, ask its admissions or international office which digital learning resources will be available to you.
