Call for joint mobility projects and joint degree projects
The European Commission has published a call for joint mobility projects and joint degree projects between the European Union and Australia, and the European Union and the Republic of Korea. The general objective of the call is to enhance mutual understanding between people of the EU and Australia, and between people of the EU and Republic of Korea, including broader knowledge of their languages, cultures and institutions and to enhance the quality of higher education and training by stimulating balanced partnerships between European, Australian and Korean higher education and training institutions. There are two types of actions under this call- joint mobility projects and joint degree projects. For joint mobility projects (JMP) support is provided to enable EU-partner country consortia of post- secondary vocational and training institutions, to carry out joint study and training programmes and to implement student and faculty mobility.

Consortiums must include at least three post-secondary vocational 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.
