In the framework of the External Cooperation Window programme the Educatio, Audiovisual & Culture Executive Agency published a new call for proposals for the promotion of cooperation between higher education institutions and the exchange of students, researchers and academic staff from EU member states and the countries targeted in the Asia Regional window. The Erasmus Mundus External Cooperation Window aims at mutual enrichment and better understanding between the European Union and Third Countries, through the exchange of persons, knowledge and skills at higher education level.

• The implementation of individual mobility for students and academic staff

Budget: EUR 11 085 700, aiming at a total minimum mobility flow of 360 individuals
