  2. Erasmus Mundus • 1 Programme • But 3 Actions • i) Action 1 - Joint Masters and Ph.D programmes • ii) Action 2 – Partnerships aimed at specific countries/regions • iii) Action 3 - Attractiveness Projects

  3. Very competitive process – 1 in 10 applications successful in 2010 but 75% of top-ranked HEIs

  4. What is an EM Joint Programme? An integrated programme at masters (60 to 120 ECTS) or doctoral (3 to 4 years) level; Jointly designed, delivered and managed by a consortium of HEIs representing at least 3 different EU/EEA states and, optionally, non EUR HEIs; It includes a mandatory mobility component; It is fully recognised and leads to the award of a double, multiple or joint degree; It aims at attracting the best students, doctoral candidates and scholars, worldwide It offers full study scholarships to EU and non-EU nationals (students, doct.candid., scholars)

  5. Action 1 Call targets • EMMCs: 10 to 15 new Masters & up to 22 renewals • EMJDs: 9 or 10 new Doctorates • PDF version of application form & Instruction document now on line • E-forms to be used for final applications • Summary sheets (on paper version) by 31 March 2011 • Application Deadline: 29 April MIDDAY !(Central European Time)

  6. EMMC award criteria • Academic quality – course content (30%) • • Course integration (25%) • • Course management, visibility and sustainability (20%) • • Students’ services and facilities (15%) • • Quality assurance and evaluation (10%)

  8. Action 2 Partnership projects • Two Strands • 1 Developing Countries • 2 Industrialised Countries • Large partnerships between higher education institutions in EU and third countries in a specific region • Countries / regions covered by the EU’s external co- operation instruments • Erasmus-style cooperation mechanisms, transfer of know- how • Definition of priorities according to the needs of third countries involved

  9. Scholarships of varying length (1 month to 3 years) •Bachelor, master, doctorate and post-doctorate students and HE staff (training, teaching, research activities) •Mobility not linked to specific programmes •Special attention paid to socio-economically disadvantaged groups and populations in a vulnerable situation (Strand 1 only)

  10. Composition –At least 5 European HEIs from at least 3 EU countries –At least 1 HEI from each country of the Lot (S1) –At least 3 HEIs from two countries of the Lot (S2) •Maximum eligiblity period: 48 months

  11. Action 3 Attractiveness Projects • Studies • Erasmus Mundus Alumni Association • Information activities of EM National structures

  12. Building a Successful Application • Distinctiveness of the JP(often missing/ unconvincing) • Consortium relevance/expertise–include all relevant actors (no „old boys/girls‟ networks) • Cover all criteria and sub-criteria • Quantify & be specific-less waffle more facts. • Annexes: Only to provide evidence, NOT to add key information.

  13. Research/Methods –Why? • Transfer of knowledge ? Contingency plans? • Management sections –get help from administrators–they will do it better • Training-give examples to convince of feasibility • Career opportunities –guidance? successes? alumni? private sector? • Clarify degree awarded and justify robustly–this is really important
