Education Cooperation Programme: Call for proposals 2009

EU/Australia Cooperation in Higher Education and Training Projects, Call for applications - Sixth Round projects

The call for applications is now open for the sixth round of European Union (EU)/Australia Cooperation in Higher Education and Training projects.

Applications are invited from Australian higher education and vocational education and training (VET) institutions to undertake student mobility projects between the European Union and Australia.

The objective is to enhance mutual understanding between peoples of the EU and Australia and to encourage a broader knowledge of their languages, cultures and institutions through balanced partnerships between higher education and vocational training institutions in Europe and Australia.  These projects offer the opportunity for Australian students in higher education and VET to study for a semester at a partner institution in the European Union. 

The deadline for applications is 15 September 2009.

The application form and guidelines for Australian applicants are available at the following website: http://www.dest.gov.au/sectors/international_education/default2.htm
