1 ERASMUS-MUNDUS SMART SYSTEMS INTEGRATION Marc Desmulliez 1

2 ERASMUS MUNDUS Political Context Challenges Globalisation Lisbon strategy : Europe to become the most competitive and dynamic knowledge-based society in the world. European education and training systems to become a world-wide reference for quality and excellence. 2

3 Aims Promote and identify European quality offer in higher education. Attract excellent graduate students and scholars from all over the world. Foster structured co-operation between European and non-european higher education institutions. Improve profile, visibility and accessibility of European higher education in the world. Promote intercultural understanding through worldwide cooperation. 3

4 Target Countries and Participants Higher education institutions in 28 European countries to offer high quality Masters Courses. Graduate students, scholars and higher education institutions from all other countries around the world ( third countries ) to participate in these Masters Courses. 4

5 Programme Actions Action 1: Erasmus Mundus Masters Courses Action 2: Scholarships Action 3: Partnerships Action 4: Now also joint PhD programmes 5

6 Action 1: Erasmus Mundus Masters Courses Corner-stone of the programme High-quality Masters Courses of 1 to 2 years offered by a consortium of at least 3 higher education institutions from 3 different European countries. Integrated study programme: one course = one product with common set of features (joint curriculum, joint admission criteria, joint application and selection procedure, common tuition fee, one degree). Any discipline. 6

7 Action 1: Erasmus Mundus Masters Courses Study in at least two institutions. Award of an officially recognised joint, double or multiple degree. Use of at least 2 EU languages (not necessarily 2 languages of instruction). Grant scholarships to third-country graduate students and scholars. Offer high-quality hosting services for students. First 14 Courses started in September 2004, more Courses to start every September. 7

8 Action 2: Scholarships: Student travel, etc: 8,000 per student for a two-year course (20 study months x 1,000 ) plus a fixed amount of 16,000 for tuition fees and insurance for 4 semesters, or 44,000 per student for a two-year course. Scholar scholarships: 14,400 per scholar for a 3 month stay Grants are paid to grantees by consortia 8
