CARIBU project Scholarships

Published

on

CARIBU is an Erasmus Mundus Action 2 (EMA2) partnership program that aims at increasing academic mobility, research and capacity building opportunities between the
EU partners and countries from the ACP region. The project is devoted to creating a mutual forum for scientific cooperation, learning enhancement and exchange of best practices.

All partners in the project will strive to meet the needs of the involved countries including through supporting the development of disadvantaged regions, with a special attention given to equal opportunity and gender balance.

The program will benefit students, researchers and staff members who will bring an immediate impact in their home institutions through the exchange of best practices, mutual sharing of knowledge, teaching and management skills as well as a very enriching linguistic, cultural and educational experience.

With the objective to achieve better understanding and mutual enrichment between the EU and Third countries, the European Commission has launched the Erasmus Mundus Action 2 programs, implemented by its executive agency, the Education, Audiovisual and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA).

By creating exchange opportunities between higher education institutions, the EMA2 programs contribute to fostering academic and scientific cooperation that paves the way to strong and long term partnerships.

Target group 1

Target group 2
