Industrialised Countries Instrument Education Cooperation Programme (ICI ECP) Call for proposals 2008
The European Commission, in conjunction with the governments of Australia, Japan, New Zealand and the Republic of Korea is pleased to announce a new multi-country call for proposals in the field of higher education and training. The objective of this call is to support international curriculum development projects that involve short term mobility at undergraduate or masters' level between the EU and the partner countries not necessarily related to award of a joint or dual/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. We would appreciate if you could pass this information to colleagues/organisations who may be interested in applying for a project grant. Funding up to EUR 425,000 per project (depending on the number of partner institutions) is available. Support includes mobility grants for students and faculty.
