Tempus Programme

The Tempus Programme is one of a number of European programmes designed to help the process of social and economic reform and/or development in the partner countries.

The Tempus programme focuses on the development of the Higher Education system in these countries through cooperation with institutions from the member states of the European community. The programme is based on the understanding that higher education institutions are of particular importance for the social and economic transition processes as well as cultural development; they are also pools of expertise and of human resources and provide the training of new generations of political leaders.

Aims:

The programme aims at the development of higher education systems in the partner countries and the promotion of their interaction with civil society and industry. Tempus does not offer research grants.

The Tempus awards these sorts of grants:

  • Grants to groups of universities cooperating together ("consorcia") two or three year periods to achieve objectives set out in structured projects known within the Tempus programme as Joint European Project. Four types are available:

  • Curriculum Development Projects focus on the content and method of teaching in higher education institutions in the partner countries. The aim is to create or update existing courses and to enhance the skills of teaching staff.

  • University Management Projects focus on the restructuring of the management, organization and administration of universities.
  • Training Courses for Institution Building focus on developing the administrative and institutional structures of the partner countries through the provision of courses aimed at improving the practical knowledge and updating the skills of non-academic staff.

  • Multiplier projects focus on a broader dissemination of Tempus project outputs through networks in order to widen the impact of the results and experiences of completed projects.
  • Individual Mobility Grant: aims to help academic and administrative staff (teachers, professors, staff working under contract, ministry officials) to travel to other countries to take part in certain specified activities related to a particular reform process. Types of visits eligible for funding:

  • Preparation for a Joint European Project.

  • Participation in a determinate event.

  • Retraining or study period, collaboration on a specific academic subject, dissemination of good practice or training.

Participant countries:

The institutions and organisations that participate in the programme range from institutions of higher education to non academic institutions such as non-government organizations, business companies, industries and public authorities.
