The Erasmus Mundus Consortium "Multidisciplinary capacity-building for an improved economic, political and university co-operation between the European Union and the Russian Federation" awards scholarships for mobility flows between the Russian Federation (RF) and the European Union (EU) in both directions (subject to the signature of the contract between the European Commission and the TU Dresden).

The objective of the Erasmus Mundus Action 2 programme is a multidisciplinary capacity-building for an improved economic, political and university co-operation between the EU and the RF. The consortium has  a clear commitment to include RF nationals with an indigenous population background targeted by a specific national policy, disadvantaged groups such as disabled students and economically disadvantaged students.

The Main Activities are:

• Broad-based exchange of EU and RF undergraduate, graduate and doctoral students, postdoctorate researchers and teaching staff
• Providing opportunities to RF nationals working in public administration, public and private enterprises with study, training or research opportunities in the EU

For the year 2012 about 230 scholarships for study, research, teaching and training activities were awarded. Find more information on:  http://www.mundus-multic.org .
