ERASMUS MUNDUS: To be renewed for 2009-2013

The European Commission renews the Erasmus Mundus programme for the period 2009–2013. The new programme, Erasmus Mundus II, will receive just over €950 million over five years to enable joint programmes or collaborative partnerships between the European Union and 'third country' universities, and to grant scholarships to EU and third country students for an international study experience.
