S1-L12 Erasmus Mundus Europe Asia
Start date: Jul 15, 2011,

The overall objective of Erasmus Mundus Europe Asia, EMEA, (Lot 12) is to create a partnership in research and education that will strengthen the ties between Europe and Asia. The project will be used as a platform to establish or strengthen structures of academic cooperation, and emphasis will also be placed on capacity building aspects, specifically, the ability of the partner institutions to handle international mobility and large international cooperation projects. All partnership institutions will be enriched by the intercultural encounters made possible by the project, both during and after individual mobility periods. The goal of the project is to develop cooperation structures of long-lasting value to the individuals and institutions involved. The partnership is committed to focusing on the visibility of the project in order to ensure that the aims of the project are fulfilled and that knowledge of the project is spread not only within the partner universities, but to other groups in the participating countries as well. The prioritized fields of study and research have been chosen in the accordance with needs identified in the Regional Programming for Asia Strategy Document 2007-2013: Environmental Issues, Public Health, Social Welfare, and International Law/Human Rights. The Consortium is composed of partners representing eight European countries (Sweden, Italy, Poland, UK, Ireland, France, Greece, and The Netherlands) and five Asian countries (India, China, Pakistan, Nepal, and Bangladesh). All the partners are outstanding universities in their respective countries and most are comprehensive and research-oriented. With such a wide spread of universities from different countries, the experience of international cooperation projects differ and one of the strongest benefits and opportunities is the possibility to develop a common good practice and know how within the project. Central to the project are the mobility opportunities offered to 95 individuals, shared between undergraduate students, master students, PhD students, Post docs and staff.
