The Erasmus Mundus initiative consists of the following

Lot 1: Lot 2 and the Erasmus Mundus Joint Masters (EMJM): Measures of the Erasmus Mundus Design
Through master’s-level study programs jointly delivered and jointly recognized by European higher education institutions (HEIs) and open to institutions in other nations, this action aims to foster excellence and global internationalization of higher education institutions.

Two distinct lots are the Erasmus Mundus Joint Masters and the Erasmus Mundus Design Measures. Prior to implementing an EMJM, there is no requirement to. The completion of an EMDM project is not an award criterion for an EMJM, and the award of an EMDM does not guarantee funding under the EMJM.

Lot 1: Erasmus Mundus Joint Masters (EMJM) is an international consortium of higher education institutions (HEIs) from a variety of nations, as well as, where relevant, other educational and/or non-educational partners with specific expertise and interest in the concerned study areas/professional domains, support high-level integrated transnational study programs at Master level1.

EMJMs are exceptional programs that ought to aid in the internationalization and integration of the European Higher Education Area (EHEA). The high level of jointness and integration among the participating institutions as well as the quality of their academic content are what make EMJMs unique.

The EMJM’s Objectives The EMJM aims to attract talent to Europe and increase the global appeal and quality of European higher education by combining the following:

institutional academic cooperation to highlight European excellence in higher education; individual mobility for all EMJM participants; and scholarships funded by the EU for the best applicants.

Objectives of Erasmus Mundus Scholarship 2024-2025 (EMJM)

General goal Through lifelong learning, the Program aims to support the educational, professional, and personal development of people in education, training, youth, and sport throughout Europe and beyond. This will help to contribute to sustainable growth, high-quality jobs, social cohesion, innovation, and a stronger sense of European identity and active citizenship. As a result, the Program will play a crucial role in the creation of a European Education Area by assisting in the implementation of European strategic cooperation in the education and training sector and its underlying sectoral agendas. In addition, it is crucial to the development of the European sport dimension and the advancement of youth policy cooperation under the European Union Youth Strategy 2019-2027.

Specific goals of the Erasmus mundus Scholarship 2024-2025

encourage individual and group learning mobility, as well as cooperation, quality, equity, inclusion, and excellence at the organizational and policy levels in the field of education and training;

encourage youth mobility and active participation in non-formal and informal learning, as well as cooperation, quality, inclusion, creativity, and innovation at the policy and organization level in the field of youth;

encourage staff members’ learning mobility, cooperation, quality, inclusion, creativity, and innovation at the organizational and policy levels of sports.

What happens when the application is submitted?

An evaluation process is carried out on each and every application that is received by the Executive Agency or the National Agencies.

The procedure for evaluating project proposals is that the National or Executive Agency that receives the application evaluates them solely based on the criteria outlined in this Guide. The assessment suggests:

a check to see if the application is admissible; a check to see if the applicant and the activities he or she proposes are eligible; a check to see if the applicant meets the criteria for exclusion and selection (i.e., operational and financial capacity);
a quality check to see how well the application meets the criteria for the award. Most of the time, this kind of quality assessment is done with the help of independent experts. The European Commission’s guidelines will be used by experts to support their evaluation; These guidelines will be made available on the websites of the European Commission and the national agencies in charge of managing Erasmus+ projects for activities managed by those agencies;
a confirmation that the proposal does not involve double funding risks. This verification is done in conjunction with other agencies or stakeholders if necessary.
An evaluation committee will be appointed by the National or Executive Agency to oversee the entire selection process. A list of projects that are proposed for the grant award will be selected and compiled based on the evaluation conducted by the evaluation committee, which may enlist the assistance of experts if necessary.

Applicants may be asked to provide additional information or to clarify the supporting documents submitted in connection with the application during the evaluation process for all actions covered by this Guide, provided that the requested information or clarification does not significantly alter the proposal. If the applicant made obvious clerical errors or if, for projects funded through multi-beneficiary agreements, one or more partners’ mandates are missing, additional information and clarifications are especially justified (for multi-beneficiary agreements, see section “Grant agreement” below).

Final decision At the conclusion of the evaluation process, the National Agency or Executive Agency selects the grant recipients based on the following criteria:

the evaluation committee’s proposed ranking list;
the budget that is available for any given Action (or activity within an Action). Regardless of the outcome of the evaluation process, the applicant will not receive a return of their application materials or files.

A letter containing the results of the evaluation will be sent to all applicants informing them of the outcome. Additional instructions regarding the next steps leading up to the signing of the grant agreement will be included in this letter.

For Executive Agency-managed actions:

Grant preparation will be invited for successful applications; Others will either be rejected or added to the reserve list. An invitation to grant preparation is not a formal funding commitment. Before granting a grant, the Executive Agency will still need to conduct a number of legal checks: financial capacity, exclusion check, legal entity validation, etc. At this time, applicants will be asked to nominate a LEAR and provide financial information about their organization.

The applicant can file a complaint if he or she believes that the evaluation process was flawed (subject to the deadlines and procedures outlined in the evaluation notification letter). Please be aware that deadlines will be counted from notification opening/access if notifications are not opened within 10 days of being sent (see also Funding & Tenders Portal Terms and Conditions: https://ec.europa.eu/info/funding-tenders/opportunities/docs/2021-2027/common/ftp/tc_en.pdf). Please also be aware that there may be character restrictions for complaints submitted electronically.

Timeline for the notification of the grant award decision and the grant agreement’s signature:

Key Action 1 projects managed by Erasmus+ National Agencies will likely receive notification of the award decision and grant agreement signature four months after the submission deadline.

Key Action 2 projects managed by Erasmus+ National Agencies will likely receive notification of the award decision and grant agreement signature five months after the submission deadline.

In the case of Key Action 2 and Key Action 3 projects managed by the Executive Agency, the award decision will be announced, most likely five months after the deadline for submission and the grant administrator’s signature.
