Kiev - 5-6 December 2011, An Eastern Partnership Conference
The Eastern Partnership fosters cooperation between the European Union and six neighbouring countries: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova and the Ukraine. Platform IV of the Eastern Partnership fosters people-to-people cooperation, including in the area of higher education.
Tempus and Erasmus Mundus are two of the European Union's key programmes for international cooperation in the field of international higher education cooperation.
The Tempus programme promotes partnerships between higher education institutions in the EU and the Partner Countries surrounding the EU: the Southern Mediterranean, Western Balkans, Eastern Europe, Russia and Central Asia.
The Erasmus Mundus Programme is a world-wide programme, promoting:
Eastern Partnership countries will form a priority for both programmes over the coming years, and additional funding will allow for the selection of more projects, partnerships and scholarships involving the six countries.
This invitation-only conference brings together 300 representatives from higher education institutions and other key partners for universities. It aims to enhance the regional dimension of these two EU-funded programmes for higher education, and encourage those institutions that have less exposure to international programmes to get involved. In this respect the event is a great opportunity for all participants to set up new partnerships or expand their existing networks in order to submit good quality projects under future calls for proposals.
