ERASMUS MUNDUS EXTERNAL COOPERATION WINDOW
The European Union (EU) recognises the importance of higher education for economic and social development. Higher education plays a crucial role in producing high quality human resources, in disseminating scientific discovery and advanced knowledge through training future generations of citizens, professionals and political leaders.
The Erasmus Mundus - External Cooperation Window (EM ECW) offers a unique higher education and cooperation frame to promote and develop international exchange of persons, knowledge and skills between the European Union and Third Countries.
The Education, Audiovisual and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA) is a public body created by the Decision 2005/56/EC of the European Commision adopted on 14 January 2005. Its role is to manage European funding opportunities and networks in the fields of education and training, citizenship, youth, audiovisual and culture. The EACEA is responsible for the management of all actions of Erasmus Mundus 2009-2013, including the EM ECW, under the supervision of the DG EAC of the European Commission and EuropeAid - European Commission Co-operation Office (AIDCO).
