It was created a new section on the DG EAC Erasmus Mundus webpages entitled "News - Erasmus Mundus Community".

The idea is to publicise news and stories that will be of interest to the large number of actors involved in Erasmus Mundus and to keep them informed about latest developments: pre-departure events for Erasmus Mundus students, promotional campaigns, successful Erasmus Mundus partnerships between European universities and those from other countries, etc.

The European Commission has just awarded almost 10,000 new grants to be funded by the Erasmus Mundus programme in the academic year 2009-2010. 8,385 students and academics will come to study or teach in Europe, and 1,561 Europeans will spend periods at partner institutions in countries outside Europe.

Ján Figel', the European Commissioner for Education, Training, Culture and Youth, said " Erasmus Mundus is going from strength to strength. In the years since 2004, when it began, the programme has been able to establish itself as one of the world's foremost international mobility programmes. With its emphasis on quality and excellence, it is doing an outstanding job of promoting European higher education on the world stage."

Benita Ferrero-Waldner, the European Commissioner for External Relations and European Neighbourhood Policy said: " Education plays a crucial role in the development of countries and for providing younger generations with perspectives. By promoting academic exchanges between Europe and the rest of the world we are giving university students the means to better shape their own futures and to understand and respect each other. Erasmus Mundus is, therefore, a precious instrument to build and strengthen bridges across the world."

Erasmus Mundus is a co-operation and mobility programme in the field of higher education that aims to enhance the quality of European higher education and to promote dialogue and understanding between people and cultures through co-operation with countries outside the European Union.
