Erasmus Mundus - Opportunities for Higher Education Institutions (Actions 1, 2, 3, 4)

Country-Specific Windows

"Windows" are additional funds coming from the Community's external relations budget and injected into the Erasmus Mundus programme to encourage students of specific non-EU nationalities to study in Europe. They allow paying for Erasmus Mundus scholarships to additional students coming from specific countries.

Which countries have "Windows"?

How do they work?

"Windows" are earmarked to fund Erasmus Mundus scholarships for students from the relevant countries. This should not prevent Erasmus Mundus Masters Courses from selecting students from the same countries under the "normal" Erasmus Mundus budget. "Window" scholarships are therefore additional to "normal" Erasmus Mundus scholarships. They allow Erasmus Mundus Masters Courses to award additional scholarships to students from the relevant countries.

"Windows" are operated in line with the standard Erasmus Mundus rules and procedures. Students simply apply to the Course of their choice following the normal application procedure. All standard selection procedures apply. It doesn't make any difference to students whether their scholarship is funded from the normal Erasmus Mundus budget or the "Window" budget.
