Call for proposals for co-operation in higher education and training between the EU and Australia and the EU and the Republic of Korea
The European Commission has issued a call for proposals for co-operation in higher education and training between the European Union and Australia and the European Union and the Republic of Korea. The general objective is to enhance mutual understanding between people of the EU and the partner countries including broader knowledge of their languages, cultures and institutions and to enhance the quality of higher education and training by stimulating balanced partnerships between higher education and training institutions in the EU and partner countries. There are two types of actions under this call, namely Joint Mobility Projects and Joint Degree Projects. For Joint Mobility Projects (JMP) support is provided to enable EU-partner country consortia of higher education and training institutions, to carry out joint study and training programmes and to implement student and faculty mobility. Support includes lump sum funding for administration, grants for students and members of the academic and administrative staff. A consortium applying for an ICI-ECP Joint Mobility Project must include at least three higher education and/or training institutions from three different EU Member States and at least two such institutions from the partner country. For Joint Degree Projects (JDP) support is provided to develop and implement dual/double or joint degree programmes. This includes lump sum funding for the development work and administration, grants for students and members of the academic and administrative staff. A consortium applying for an ICI-ECP Joint Degree Project must include at least two higher education and/or training institutions from two different EU Member States and at least two institutions from the partner country.For further information, please contact: The Education, Audiovisual and Culture Executive Agency EU-ICI Call for Proposals 2010 Avenue du Bourget 1 - BOUR 02/17 B-1140 Brussels To see the full details of the call, please consult: OJ No C 138 of 28 May 2010(opens in new window)
