EU programme: Tempus
Description: Please report amendments to info@adum.info The Tempus programme funds cooperation projects in the areas of curriculum development and innovation, teacher training, university management, and structural reforms in higher education. It puts special emphasis on the mobility of academic and administrative staff from higher education institutions, both from the EU and the partner countries. The third phase of the Tempus programme expired on 31 December 2006. The last deadline for the submission of Joint European Project proposals under Tempus III was on 15 December 2006. The selection results for this application round will be available in June 2007. New projects will then start in September 2007. The European Commission continues to consider higher education as a priority for its co-operation activities with the countries surrounding the European Union. The Tempus programme, with its strong focus on institution-based university co-operation, will therefore be continued over the period 2007 to 2013. The content and modalities of Tempus IV are currently being developed. There will be no deadlines for the submission of proposals during the first semester 2007. Further information will be made available in due course on the website. Who may apply? : The Trans-European mobility scheme for university studies funds projects between the higher education sector in the EU and its 26 partner countries to facilitate university modernisation, mutual learning between regions and peoples and understanding between cultures. The Tempus partner regions are the Western Balkans, Eastern Europe and Central Asia, North Africa and the Middle East. EU Support:

Tempus is now financed through three of these instruments: Relevance for Lesser-Used Language Communities:
