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. |

With European Union Education budgets for the Eastern Partnership significantly increased this year, university cooperation and individual student and professor mobility will be boosted. A regional conference on EU Programmes Tempus and Erasmus Mundus highlighted these new opportunities and brought together 300 representatives from higher education institutions and key partners in Kyiv 5-6 December. "Erasmus for All", which opens the EU programme to even more students, will bring together all beneficiaries into one global community of scholars and university staff as of 2014. Ms. Androulla Vassiliou, Commissioner for Education, Culture, Multilingualism, Sport, and Youth, opened the conference and held a public speech in the National University of Kyiv - Mohyla Academy.
"The privileged relations between the EU and its Neighbours have led to closer political association, deeper economic integration, increased mobility and more contacts between people. Cooperation between universities and their staff and the mobility of their students is an important aspect of this privileged relation and of higher education's increasingly international nature" said Commissioner Vassiliou.
Strengthened engagement in the area of education is a crucial element of the EU Neighbourhood Policy. Particular attention is given to support for young people, students, and university staff, who play an important role in the current democratisation and modernisation processes. |
