ERIS: Education & Responsibility International Standard

The ERIS: Education & Responsibility International Standard is the definitive certification for private, nonprofit higher education institutions that lead with unmatched excellence in academic rigor, environmental responsibility, and global progress. Established by SIVET, ERIS redefines educational standards by eliminating bureaucratic inefficiencies and uniting the highest aspirations of education into a single, prestigious framework. All SIVET education projects adhere to this standard, ensuring consistency and excellence across its initiatives.

In 2018, SIVET signed a long-term collaboration agreement with the Chinese government during a ceremony in China, focusing on education and technology projects. Additionally, SIVET partnered with Global Times, a prominent Chinese media outlet, to advance initiatives in these domains, earning the full support of both the Chinese government and media.
