ERASMUS MUNDUS 2009 -2013 The Erasmus Mundus

ERASMUS MUNDUS 2009 -2013

The Erasmus Mundus programme comprises three actions: • Action 1: Implementation of Joint Programmes at Masters (Action 1 A) and Doctorate (Action 1 B) levels and award of individual scholarships/fellowships to participate in these programmes; • Action 2: Erasmus Mundus Partnerships; • Action 3: Promotion of European Higher Education.

Action 1 provides: • Support for high-quality joint masters courses (Action 1 A) and doctoral programmes (Action 1 B) offered by a consortium of European and possibly third-country higher education institutions. Other types of organisations concerned by the content and outcomes of the joint programme can participate in the consortium. • Scholarships/fellowships for the third-country and European students/doctoral candidates respectively to follow these Erasmus Mundus joint masters courses and doctoral programmes. • Short-term scholarships for third-country and European academics to carry out research or teaching assignments as part of the joint masters programmes.

Action 2 provides: • Support for the establishment of cooperation partnerships between European HEIs and HEIs from targeted third countries/territories with the objective of organising and implementing structured individual mobility arrangements between the European and the third-country/territories partners. • Scholarships of various lengths - depending on the priorities defined for the third countries/territories concerned, the level of studies or the particular arrangements agreed within the partnership - for European and third-country/territory individuals (students, scholars, researchers, professionals).

Action 2 is divided into two strands: • EMA 2 - STRAND 1: Partnerships with countries covered by the ENPI, DCI, EDF and IPA instruments (former External Cooperation Window); • EMA 2 - STRAND 2: Partnerships with countries and territories covered by the Industrialised Countries Instrument (ICI).

Action 3 provides: support to transnational initiatives, studies, projects, events and other activities aimed at enhancing the attractiveness, profile, image and visibility of, and accessibility to, European higher education in the world.
