Overview
The EUROSA project (EUROSA - Europe & South Africa Partnership for Human Development) is an Erasmus Mundus Action 2 Partnerships scholarship programme, funded by the European Commission. It is coordinated by the University of Antwerp and itpromotes mobility for students, researchers, academic and administrative staff from South Africa to Europe. It offers mobility grants to 88 South African master students, doctoral researchers and staff to spend a period abroad at one of the partner institutions.
The EUROSA partnership is committed to contribute to the development of redressing past imbalances and to improve the participation rate of historically disadvantaged individuals in higher education. Capacity building and human development, with specific attention to vulnerable groups and excellent academic potential, are at the core of the project. It promotes the intercultural dialogue and international cooperation between the higher education institutions involved. Talented students from different regions and different social economic backgrounds will receive the unique opportunity to spend a period abroad and benefit linguistically, culturally and socially from this intercultural experience in a new learning environment. Researchers and academic staff will be given a wide variety of research, training and teaching opportunities.
The 17 partner institutions are committed to connecting South Africa and Europe through cooperation, exchange of good practices and sharing knowledge and expertise at various levels and in various fields.
