Consistently, prioritises all mobilities providing a clear and tangible impact in domains related to research and cooperation and to the development of joint research initiatives and business opportunities through joint research initiatives in all the priority field areas with special emphasis on environmental studies, agrarian studies, engineering and technology, business-management and social sciences. In total, 88 mobility flows are expected given priority to PhD and academic staff.

EMUNDUS 20B

The EMUNDUS20 project leaded by Universidad del País Vasco/Euskal Herriko Unibertsitatea was approved in Novermber of 2009. 117 students and academic staff from Mexico, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua will benefit from this project performing a period of mobility in one of the European universities belonging to the consortium, while 30 European beneficiaries will spend their mobility period in one of the South American partner universities.
