Erasmus Mundus is a cooperation and mobility EU programme in the field of higher education that aims to enhance the quality of higher education and to promote dialogue through mobility and academic collaboration.
Erasmus Mundus Programme 2009-2013 is implemented through three following activities:
- Activity 1 (Action 1) – joint graduate and postgraduate studies and awarding scholarships to candidates interested to study at the such higher education institutions.
- Activity 2 (Action 2) – partnerships between higher education EU institutions which implement the Erasmus Mundus study (chosen through the Activity) and higher education institutions from third countries (all other countries).
- Activity 3 (Action 3) – promotional activities of higher education such as internationalization of higher education institutions or mutual acknowledgement of qualifications between higher education EU institutions and higher education institutions from third countries.
For more information on Erasmus Mundus Programme please visit Education, Audiovisual and Culture Executive Agency and Agency for Mobility and EU Programmes.
