Erasmus Mundus: analysis of the first 2021-2027 call
The European Education and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA) has published a new report to analyse the results of the first Erasmus Mundus call for proposals which was published in 2021.
The Erasmus Mundus is aimed at fostering excellence and worldwide internationalisation of higher education institutions thanks to study programmes, at Master course level, jointly delivered and jointly recognised by higher education institutions established in Europe, and open to institutions in other countries of the world. The action comprises two independent lots: the Erasmus Mundus Joint Masters (EMJM) and the Erasmus Mundus Design Measures (EMDM).
The report has been produced as part of the Erasmus Mundus programme, funded by the European Commission's Directorate-General for Education, Youth, Sport and Culture.
The purpose of the report is to analyse the results of the first Erasmus Mundus call for proposals which was published in 2021 (results published in autumn 2021).
The report focuses on the main features of the applications and selected projects, mainly from the viewpoint of the institutions and the participating countries. It also offers comparisons with the former 2014-2020 programme.
Based on the facts that are reported by the European Education and Culture Executive Agency, with regard to the thematic areas, Information Sciences and Engineering, Environmental and Geosciences, and Social Sciences and Humanities are the dominant thematic areas in both generations of Erasmus Mundus. On the other hand, whereas Information Sciences and Engineering and Environmental Geosciences were almost equally preferred in both periods, Social Sciences and Humanities were significantly more selected in 2014-2020 than in the 2021 call for proposals. Similarly to Social Sciences and Humanities, Life Sciences were also more popular in the 2014-2020 generation.
