Description: |
The program provides support to enable EU-Canada consortia of higher education institutions and training institutions to carry out joint projects called: Transatlantic Exchange Partnerships (TEP).
The description of project activities and components should link into the common proposal narrative that describes the study program in the application form. This constitutes the Canadian-European Common Proposal which is to be signed by both parties. This Call for Proposals will provide funding for projects that:
- support collaboration between higher education and training institutions with a view to promoting and developing joint study and/or training programs and student mobility;
- improve the quality of transatlantic student mobility by promoting transparency, mutual recognition of qualifications and periods of study and training, and where appropriate, portability of credits.
Both Canada and the European Union must each receive a jointly prepared common proposal. Therefore, the Canadian lead institution (using Canadian forms) is required to submit the common proposal to HRSDC and the EU lead institution (using the EU forms) is required to submit the proposal to the Agency.
Only those applications which are submitted to both HRSDC and the Agency on or before the closing date for submission will be eligible for funding.
The focus of the project activities must be student mobility, targeted towards the specific group of students (in terms of discipline and level of study) most suitable for the purpose of the project. The study abroad phase must be an integral part of overall study. |
