The 2012 Erasmus Mundus Call has now been published and can be accessed from the European Commission website.

Submission deadline: 30th April 2012

Erasmus Mundus is a cooperation and mobility programme in the field of higher education that aims to enhance the quality of European higher education and to promote dialogue and understanding between people and cultures through cooperation with Third-Countries.  In addition, it contributes to the development of human resources and the international cooperation capacity of higher education institutes in Third Counties by increasing mobility between the European Union and these countries.

The Erasmus Mundus programme provides support to:

  • higher education institutes that wish to implement joint programmes at postgraduate level (Action 1) or to set-up inter-institutional cooperation partnerships between universities from Europe and targeted Third-Countries (Action 2);
  • individual students, researchers and university staff who wish to spend a study / research / teaching period in the context of one of the above mentioned joint programmes or cooperation partnerships (Action 1 and Action 2)
  • any organisation active in the field of higher education that wishes to develop projects aimed at enhancing the attractiveness, profile, visibility and image of European higher education worldwide (Action 3)
