  7. Ex-post evaluation of the Erasmus Mundus Programme (2004-2008) Recommendation on Action 3 for the second phase of the programme: Action 3 of the new Erasmus Mundus programme should take a more strategic approach than was the case under Action 4 of the previous programme, funding a limited number of projects in clearly-defined priority areas and encouraging "clustering" activities

  8. Clustering EMMCs & Attractiveness Projects Objectives To further disseminate the results of the EM programme by bringing together its beneficiaries To exploit synergies between different EMMCs and between EMMCs and Attractiveness Projects To identify good practices & exchange experiences through surveys and workshops To seek input by EM beneficiaries but also by stakeholders and external experts

Erasmus Mundus Clusters – Timing09/2010-01/2013 Employability - Lot 2 Workshop: Leuven, 10-11 May 2011 Regional Cluster on Asia - Lot 4 Workshop: Brussels, 28-29 September 2011 Sustainability and recognition of degrees – Lots 1&3 Workshop: Brussels, March 2012 (tbc) Thematic cluster on climate change - Lot 5 Workshop: Brussels, October 2012 (tbc)

  12. Cluster LOT 2 - Employability This Lot addresses the career opportunities offered by the EMMCs to Erasmus Mundus graduate students worldwide. The importance of the employability of graduates has increased in the setting up of the curriculum of joint programmes. Erasmus Mundus Masters Courses want to ensure that their academic content meets the professional needs, contributing to the transfer of knowledge and skills and offering complementary skills courses and/or placement possibilities.

  13. Cluster LOT 4 - Regional Cluster - Asia Focus on the same geographical region Bringing together existing EMMCs, ECW partnerships and Attractiveness Projects with the focus on the same region of the world. Consider the synergies between EM projects and projects selected under other geographically specific Community programmes (Asia-Link, Edu- Link Alfa/Alban).

  14. Clusters LOTs 1 and 3 – Sustainability and Recognition of Degrees and Joint Degrees • Lot 1: the sustainability strategies with a view to ensuring the continuation of the cooperation activities of Joint Programmes beyond the period of EU funding • Lot 3: the accreditation process and the difficulties encountered in the recognition of joint degrees among Joint Programmes Come and study in Europe!
