Call for proposals for the EU-Canada Programme for Cooperation in Higher Education, Training and Youth
The European Commission has issued a call for proposals for the EU-Canada Programme for Cooperation in Higher Education, Training and Youth 2010. The general objectives of the programme and this call are to promote mutual understanding between the peoples of the European Union and Canada including broader knowledge of their languages, cultures and institutions and to improve the quality of human resources in the EU and Canada. There are two types of actions under this call, namely Transatlantic Exchange Partnerships and Transatlantic Degree Partnerships. Submission of grant requests under this call is open to higher education institutions and vocational education and training institutions. Eligible applicants must be established in one of the 27 Member States of the European Union. Each project must have one lead institution in the EU and one lead institution in Canada, responsible for submitting the common proposal and for the management of the project. These lead institutions must be higher education or training institutions. The consortium must be composed of at least four institutions in total, i.e. two from the EU and two from Canada. These institutions may be either higher education or training institutions, as defined above, or a mixture of both, depending on the project. There is also a requirement that the institutions have to be from two different Member States of the EU and two different Canadian provinces/territories.For further information, please contact: The Education, Audiovisual and Culture Executive Agency EU-CANADA Call 2010 Avenue du Bourget 1 - BOUR 02/17 B-1140 Brussels To see the full details of the call, please consult: OJ No C 308 of 18 December 2009(opens in new window)
