Mobility of Individuals

This activity supports the creation of highly integrated international study programs with 60, 90 or 120 ECTS credits.

The program creates an international consortium of higher education institutions (or other parthers active in the field of education or beyond it). These partners have specific expertise and interest in the fild of study/expertise included in the joint program. Within the project, scholarships can be awarded to outstanding students from all over the world to participate in shared masters programs.

All other partner organizations from Program or Partner Countries must be known at the time of applying for a grant. For participation in the project and the possibility of applying for it, institutions must have Erasmus Charter for Higher Education (ECHE).
