Erasmus Mundus 2 to fund CMN mobility actions in the Mediterranean

The main aim of EU Mare Nostrum is to contribute to the chanllenges proposed in the TCs’ plans of development and National Indicative Plans (focused in the development of the technological and the industrial world) as well as to meet the needs and constraints resulting from the geographical proximity of the countries involved (environmental, political and social shared problems). Academically speaking the project aims at the promotion of joint degrees between the TC and the EU institutions and to the emergence of innovative degrees in the TC institutions.

The project objectives will be achieved by upgrading the TCs human resources firstly in some of the technological and industrial common fields of interest for both Mediterranean shores –Mediterranean naval&maritime technology, the agro-food sector and the field of Economics and busines (environmental studies as a transversal issue)- and secondly in the field of Political and Social sciences. The promotion of joint degrees wll be accomplished by a moblity scheme which favours the recongition of oversea studies, while allowing the complete training of students at postgraduate level in the fields which their home universities do not offer nowadays.
