New Erasmus Mundus call allocates 52 million euro for cooperation with Egypt, Israel and occupied Palestinian territory
27-07-2010
The EU’s Education, Audiovisual and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA)has launched a call for proposals under the Erasmus Mundus programme, which allocates €5.2 million for cooperation with higher education institutions in Egypt, Israel, and the occupied Palestinian territory, aiming at a minimum mobility flow of 200 individuals.
Erasmus Mundus Action 2 Parnerships promotes cooperation between higher education institutions through encouraging partnerships, mobility and exchanges of students, researchers and academic staff.
The projects in the three Mediterranean partner countries are part of a €15.2 million call for proposals (EACEA 22/10), with the aim of accomplishing objectives identified in the cooperation between European and third country higher education institutions only partially reached in an earlier call (EACEA 29/09). The remainder of the call is targeted at the Central Asian Republics and the Western Balkans.
Specifically, the Mediterranean window of the call allocates €2.9 million (minimum mobility flow 110) for Egypt, and €1.15 million (minimum mobility flow 45) each for Israel and the occupied Palestinian territory.
The distribution of the type of mobility must respect the following:
Undergraduates: 30-40% of the total
Masters: 20-30% of the total
Doctorates: 15-25% of the total
Post-doctorates: 5-15% of the total
Staff: 5-15% of the total
For the three Mediterranean partners, the call is open to mobility in all fields of study under projects not exceeding 48 months.
The deadline for submission of applications is 15 October 2010.
Eligible activities, including preparatory activities, can start as of 30 November 2010. (ENPI Info Centre)
