International dimension, E4A: learning mobility
No significant budget increase but more short-term outputs,
more accessible to European HEIs, administered through
bilateral agreements
Degree mobility: limited to joint Masters
Incoming:
only in joint master-level degrees (former Action 1 EM), consortia of EU /non-EU HEIs, managed by
EACEA, financed by the educational EU budget
NB. No normal incoming/outgoing degree mobility - possible in the current Erasmua Mundus partnerships
Joint doctorate mobility part of Horizon 2020 (research)
International opening of Erasmus: more international credit mobility
of students and staff between EU – non-EU in both directions, both study and internships, following the principles
of the EU external policy but based on agreements of 3 or 4 years to ensure continuity, mobility based on
bilateral agreements between EU and non-EU HEIs.
Funding proposed
E4A: Intra-EU Erasmus mobility 230.000 outputs/year versus international outputs 21.000/year, international
mobility annual budget €150-190 MIL.

International dimension, E4A, cooperation projects
Specific support to
neighbourhood countries
Cooperation projects / Capacity building combined with mobility
-
-
Curriculum reform, modernisation, joint/double degrees, learning methodology, equipment,
governance, labour market links
Integrated mobility component to and from the EU – NEW
Western Balkan countries will be able to benefit from this instrument even though they do not fully
participate in the E4A programme (no fall-out for pre-accession countries as before)
NB. Russia and Central-Asia are not targeted within this action, as compared to the current Tempus
programme
-  On cooperation with Russia: 2014-2020 external EU funds Partnership Instrument for BRICS
countries €1131 MIL (1 BIL), some of this could be used to support educational initiatives, cofunded by the emerging economies

International dimension, E4A, cooperation projects
Capacity building projects with
Asia, Latin America and Africa
Capacity building projects similar to the instrument for neighbouring areas, also supporting the non-formal
learning fields.
NB. More restricted mobility actions, limited to staff (no students)
__________________________
Funding for international HE capacity building SLIGHT INCREASE
160 outputs/year planned, annual budget of €115-140 MIL
NB. Russia had the biggest Tempus budget, around €10 MIL /year, and is no longer among the target
countries

International dimension, E4A
Cooperation projects: strategic partnerships
Possibility for 3. country involvement, if it brings added value
Aims at strengthening transnational cooperation between education
institutions/youth organisations and/or other actors. The action will link mobility and
cooperation activities to enhance systemic impact.
These partnerships aim at European added value.

- Promote Europe’s worldwide attractiveness and values
- Support policy development in partner countries, EQF, ECTS, NARIC
- Expert exchanges, senior officials meetings, joint studies, promotional events and fairs

Joint Calls
Co-financed by another countries: Joint /double degrees ( Atlantis, EU-Canada etc), also possible for ie
BRICS-countries
Funding – 17% increase proposed in international dimension activities (versus 85% increase in intra-EU activities)
