     SZTE’s HUNSEM – on the basis of 15-year expertise and experience in developing, implementing and evaluating MA programs for leaders and the experts – will take a complex role in the project. Based on empirical research on Educational Leadership HUNSEM will help conceptualize and structure the Master program and PD courses, especially focusing on the competencies and learning outcomes (WP1).

The HUNSEM’s task is also providing trainings for the trainers, taking part in the implementation of the MA program and PD courses with giving some lectures / workshops, and hosting students (WP 3, WP4). HUNSEM will also lead the formative evaluation of the project and help with establishment of high quality QA mechanisms (WP6).
