The MA LLL is a flexible, multi-site programme based on a personal Learning Agreement with each student. The participating universities are the Danish University of Education, Copenhagen (Denmark), the University of Deusto, Bilbao (Spain) and the Institute of Education, University of London (UK). This Master’s Course aims to train professionals to design and develop educational policies concerned with Lifelong Learning (LLL). Graduates of this Course will be able to promote innovative LLL systems that are suited to the social and organisational context in which they are undertaken.

The European Network of Heads of Schools of Architecture is an initiative of Heads and academic program coordinators of 85 European Schools of Architecture to contribute to the defining, shaping and establishing of the European Higher Architectural Education Area (EHAEA). Its ambition is to contribute to the enhancement of the quality of architectural studies in Europe and to ensure a more attractive architectural education environment.

The master's course is to give students of civil engineering and related fields the opportunity to extend Inter-disciplinary training in the field of Structural Analysis of Monuments and Historical Constructions. The relationship of the institutions and academics with ICOMOS, with consultancy in major monuments worldwide, with the International Journal of Architectural Heritage and the leading international series of conferences ascertains the possibility of benefiting from the contact and collaboration of world experts and top international expertise.

The Erasmus Mundus Masters Program in International Performance Research (MAIPR) is an eighteen month international course that develops a conceptual analysis of the global context of contemporary performance practices, highlighting a variety of European perspectives as well as scholarly and performing arts traditions. The Masters Course aims to equip students with intellectual and creative skills adequate to conducting international research, enabling them to operate as well-trained scholar-artists in an international arena in professions ranging from academic to practical performing arts. ‘International performance’ is twofold: it indicates the objects of analysis, but also an epistemological lens that treats culture neither as an object, nor as a text, but as processes, events and enactments. International performances are perceived as embodied practices and scenarios that are rehearsed every day in the public sphere and sedimented in historical processes: citizenship, gender, ethnicity, habits, corporeal practices.

The 2-year MSc in Global Innovation Management (GIM) will equip students with the skills needed to transform research outputs into innovative products and services for worldwide markets. It also provides a unique opportunity to test these skills internationally as part of the study programme.

GIM addresses new challenges in innovative global enterprise and provides:

- A practical and global perspective of Innovation Management

- Skills applicable for larger multinational organisations to smaller enterprises

- Expanded perspectives of Innovation Management including Technology Management, R&D, and Product/Service Development with focus on the interface between disciplines involved in the process;

- Increased research capability focused on activities at the periphery of the innovation process.

Mathematical modelling lies at the heart of most current technological innovations and has become a fundamental tool in many fields of engineering. Essentially multidisciplinary in its applications, mathematical modelling and simulation is in its own right a key technology which is bound to increase its presence within efficient industries and business innovation departments.

MUNDUS URBANO - the Interdisciplinary ERASMUS MUNDUS Master's Course 'International Cooperation and Urban Development' addresses the rapid urbanization process in countries of the South and looks at possibilities to prevent or alleviate the problems invariably associated with it. Conventional wisdom of town planning has proven of little use to deal with the situation: the highly complex phenomenon calls for innovative and complex responses that incorporate physical, managerial, economic and social elements simultaneously. Adequate professional methodologies develop in the field and cannot be copied from the text books.

This project wants to set up and develop and internationally recognised double 2 year master degree program in rural development and agricultural economics among 6 EU and 2 US universities. The master will train specialists with comparative knowledge on EU, US and international agricultural and rural development policies. This is accomplished by a combination of theoretical and practical education. In total the project aims at transatlantic mobility of minimum 24 grant students and 16 faculty members.

This Excellence Mobility project will create a shared curriculum among four partner institutions focused on the study of social and natural transformations of urban areas in Europe and in the United States. The objective is to promote curriculum integration and development, enhance student learning, and stimulate faculty scholarship centred on the challenges confronting contemporary cities in a time of rapidly expanding urbanization and escalating concerns about the sustainability of urban life. These challenges are demographic, socioeconomic, spatial, ecological, and aesthetic.

The consortium creates a program that will give students an opportunity to see Canada and Europe as laboratories for exploring different approaches to common complex policy challenges. The ultimate goal is to establish a transatlantic joint MA in Regional and Global Governance. This will provide students with the tools to assess the ways in which regional arrangements and the pooling of sovereignty can lead to more timely and effective policy results. 44 students will be mobile during the project period but CELAB will also establish an e-classroom and use video-conference to allow students who do not participate in the exchange to engage in a learning experience with their Canadian and European counter-parts.
