University of Zagreb Faculty of Education and Rehabilitation Sciences - The Prevention Research Laboratory (PrevLab), Department of Behavioural Disorders is participating in the implementation of the ERASMUS+ project entitled Higher Education Institutions for Prevention Science and Quality of Life Enhancement (HIPE project).
The project coordinator is Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest, and the project is funded by the Erasmus+ Programme (KA220-HED – Cooperation partnerships in higher education). Six partner organizations from European Union countries are participating in the project.
The project started in December 2025 and will run until November 2028, and the first meeting was held in Budapest on 12 and 13 January 2026.
The HIPE project aims to strengthen the skills and competencies of current and future prevention professionals while connecting education, research, and practice in prevention science. It seeks to improve the quality of life of young people and reinforce the role of higher education in addressing societal challenges.
To achieve this, the project will develop a European competence framework for prevention practice, create a modular and multidisciplinary curriculum using evidence-based approaches and innovative pedagogical methods, pilot-test the curriculum with students and professionals, and establish micro-credentials and lifelong learning programmes accessible across Europe
