The European Commission has launched together with the governments of Australia, Japan, New Zealand and the Republic of Korea a new multi-country call for proposals. The objective of the call is to support international curriculum development projects that involve short term mobility between the EU and the partner ICI countries not necessarily related to award of a joint or double degree.

Consortia applying for projects under this call are formed by at least 3 institutions from the EU and 2 institutions from a given partner country. Selected consortia will set up a framework for student mobility whereby EU students will typically spend one semester in the partner country institution and vice versa with full recognition of the study period abroad by the home institution. Support includes mobility grants for students and members of the academic and administrative staff.

Deadline: 6 June 2008

Total budget:  EUR 2,5 million from the EU
