To Sub Programmes to which Higher Education Institutions May be Involved
1. Partnerships for Cooperation
This sub-program of Partnerships for Cooperation in the field of Higher Education is designed to allow the strategic cooperation and partnerships among the institutions/organizations engaging in member countries to produce and implement innovations in the field of Higher Education.
The target audience of these Strategic Partnership projects consists of eligible higher education students, academic and administrative personnel, professionals, academicians, and those who work in the field of higher education. The project period should be not less than 12 months and not more than 36 months.
2. Small-scale Partnerships
Small-scale Partnerships are designed to widen access to the programme to small-scale actors and individuals who are hard to reach in the fields of school education, adult education, vocational education and training, youth, and sport. There are lower grant amounts awarded to organizations, shorter duration, and simpler administrative requirements compared to Cooperation Partnerships. This action aims at reaching out to grassroots organizations, less experienced organizations, and newcomers to the Programme, reducing entry barriers to the programme for organizations with smaller organizational capacities.
This action will also support flexible formats;
- mixing activities with transnational and national character although with a European dimension,
- allowing organizations to have more means to reach out to people with fewer opportunities.
3. Jean Monnet Actions in the Field of Higher Education
The Jean Monnet Actions in the field of Higher Education support teaching and research in the field of European Union studies worldwide. These are the projects prepared to ensure that university students and young professionals have a sufficient level of knowledge concerning the European Union, and foster the dialogue between the academic society and policymakers.
The target audience of the Jean Monnet projects is the higher education institutions with academicians/researchers specialized in the field of European Union studies, which wish to increase their capacity for teaching and researching the in the field of European Union studies.
Any higher education institution located in the country of the world is eligible to apply to the Modules, Chairs, Centers of Excellence, and Policy Debate. A higher education institution located in a program country is expected to have an Erasmus Charter for Higher Education (ECHE). There is no partnership structure in the type of operations of the Jean Monnet Modules, Chairs, and Centers of Excellence, and the applicant institution/organization carries out the respective operations.
