Action Plan 2021 - Annex 2 - Global Campus Regulation (EU) 2021/94 (Annex III) states that the thematic programme on human rights and democracy shall promote education and research on human rights and democracy, including through the Global Campus of Human Rights. The Global Campus of Human Rights (`Global Campus¿) is a unique network of 100 participating universities around the world, seeking to advance human rights and democracy through regional and global cooperation in education and research. This action will provide support for the continuation of existing activities for the academic years August 2022 until August 2024. It follows an Individual Measure, which provides funding for the academic year starting August 2021.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The action will:1) Support and reinforce the Global Campus as a strategic hub that strengthens the regional and global dimensions of human rights and democracy through education, training, research, mobility and promotional activities.2) Support and reinforce a worldwide community of students, professionals, scholars, etc. to apply their specialised knowledge and skills in actions and policies related to human rights.This global network is promoted through seven regional programmes based in Venice (for Europe), Sarajevo/ Bologna (for South East Europe), Yerevan (for the Caucasus), Pretoria (for Africa), Bangkok (for Asia-Pacific), Buenos Aires (for Latin America and the Caribbean) and Beirut (for the Arab region). These regional programmes offer specialised postgraduate education and training in human rights and democracy from a regional perspective, interdisciplinary content and a multiplicity of research, publications, public events and outreach activities.Overall, this programme will cover the academic years of 2022/2023 and 2023/2024. It will result for each academic year in: approximately 250 Master¿s graduates worldwide; about 300 participants in additional training seminars, conferences, research projects and promotional activities; and in an academic community that is significantly better networked and integrated in the field. E-learning activities will further increase these numbers by a few thousand online users every year. The action may support new activities to be undertaken by Global Campus as part of its mandate, such as the development of new programmes or the support to scholars and students at risk.By supporting the Global Campus, the European Commission aspires to: reinforce high-quality education in the field of human rights and democracy; encourage vibrant intra- and inter-regional exchange and research in the current debates on human rights and democracy; reinforce local capacities in the field; enhance ownership of national human rights.The action will contribute to the following specific objective and result of the human rights and democracy thematic programme multi-annual indicative programme: to enhance strategic partnership and improve effectiveness of key international, regional and national actors to advance the realization of all human rights for all; enhanced capacities of the Global Campus of Human Rights and further expansions of its worldwide network.&nbsp;The EU support will contribute to the whole SDG framework and in particular SDG 16, 4 and 5.
