If you intend to participate in a partnership scheme the pre-project or inception phase of the partnership is designed to enable the partners from various institutions to prepare a full partnership proposal that describes in detail what the partnership will achieve (the outputs) and the activities (the inputs) that will produce this. It is obligatory under partnership schemes for the partners to meet during the reception phase to draft and agree formally the full proposal. Partners who submit successful proposals on comple-tion of the inception phase will receive funding to progress to the full partnership phase.

Description of the project

1. Describe in detail the area of need and therefore focus of the project.

2. Why does the need exist? Tell us about the local and national context of your project and what has to be done to bring about change.

3. How have you established the validity of this need, what evidence has been gathered to corroborate this?

4. Describe the purpose of the project, outlining the transformation that the project is designed to bring about within its target group.

5. Please elaborate your initial thoughts on how you will ensure that the mate-rials/courses produced by the partnership will be adopted and disseminated.

Activity Plan

1. Outline the activities you wish to undertake with your partner institution during this pre-project phase. For each activity list who will do what, giv-ing names and designations of those who will be responsible.

2. Elaborate (separately) on the sorts of areas you might go on to develop in a full partnership, for example the development of new course materials, de-velopment of teaching staff, seminars or workshops for the teaching staff of your institution, purchase of teaching materials for adaptation to your in-stitution, etc.

As you have learned from the above, study visits can be ar-ranged as individual and partnership scheme and there can be collaborative research as well. What are the core principles for the collaborative Research model?

The Collaborative Research Model is a flexible method for engaging stu-dent learning teams in research.
