Call for proposals

Intra-Africa Academic Mobility Scheme - EACEA/05/2017

 

(2017/C 29/15)

Objectives and description


The overall objective of the programme is to promote sustainable development and ultimately contribute to poverty reduction by increasing the availability of trained and highly qualified professional manpower in Africa. The programme’s specific objective is to improve the skills and competences of students and staff through enhanced intra-African mobility. Strengthening cooperation between Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in Africa will increase access to quality education and will encourage and enable African students to undertake postgraduate studies in the African continent. Furthermore, mobility of staff (academic and administrative) will enhance the international cooperation capacity of HEIs in Africa.

 

More specifically the programme aims to:

(a) contribute to the improvement of the quality of higher education through the promotion of internationalisation and harmonisation of programmes and curricula within participating institutions;

(b) enable students, academics and staff to benefit linguistically, culturally and professionally from the experience gained in the context of mobility to another African country.

 

Eligible activities


The project will entail the organisation and implementation of student and staff mobility in high quality master and doctoral programmes, as well as the provision of education/training and other services to foreign students and teaching/ training and research assignments and other services to staff from the countries covered by the project.

 

Mobility must only take place in one of the eligible countries covered by this Call for proposals.

 

Eligible participants - Minimum conditions


The partnership must be constituted of minimum four and maximum six African HEIs as partners (including the applicant) and one technical partner from the EU.

 

Eligible applicants and partners are HEIs registered in Africa that provide courses at postgraduate level (master level and/or doctorate degree) of higher education leading to a qualification recognized by the competent authorities in their own country. Only HEIs accredited by relevant national authorities in Africa are eligible. Branches of HEIs from outside Africa are not eligible.

 

In each partnership, no more than two (2) HEIs from the same eligible country are allowed to participate as partners (including the applicant/coordinating HEI).

 

HEIs from a minimum of three (3) African regions must participate as partners (including the applicant/coordinating HEI) in any partnership.

 

The technical partner has to be a HEI from one of the EU Member States having been awarded an Erasmus Charter for Higher Education. The technical partner should provide support in the management of the partnership and in the organisation and implementation of the mobility. For that reason, the technical partner must have a strong experience in the management of international mobility. Applicants will need to clearly explain the tasks and responsibilities of the technical partner in the application as well as the nature of the services to be provided. Costs for the participation of the technical partner in the project shall be included in the costs related to the organisation of the mobility managed by the partnership. However, the technical partner can neither host nor send students or/and staff for mobility.

 

Funding conditions and duration


The overall indicative amount made available under this Call for proposals is estimated at EUR 9 900 000 and should allow around 350 mobility flows.

 

Each grant will amount to between EUR 1 000 000 (minimum grant size) and EUR 1 400 000 (maximum grant size). The EU grant is based on the application of lump-sums for the organisation of mobility and unit costs for the implementation of mobility.

 

The maximum possible rate of co-financing for grants under this Call is 100%. Full funding is indeed essential for the action to be carried out, since parallel co-financing by the partners is not foreseen at the time of application but possibly during the implementation of the activities.

 

The duration of the project must be 60 months.

 

Deadline of proposals' submission


The deadline for the submission of proposals is on 2 May 2017 at 12.00 (noon), Central European Time.

               

Grant applications must be submitted using the electronic form (eForm) and its annexes specifically designed for this purpose.

 

Further information


Please find attached the call documentation. The electronic application form (eForm) and its user guide will be made available in February 2017.
