EU Commission, 47MLN to New “TEMPUS” Programme

The European Commission will allocate 47 million euros to support higher education projects in the European Neighbourhood countries and Russia under the Tempus Programme, a rise of nearly 17 million euros compared to last year’s programme.
According to the Enpi website (www.enpi-info.eu), the new funding would ”improve teaching, learning methods and teaching material, as well as boost quality assurance and management of higher education institutions in the partner countries”. The new Tempus financial package will support around 60 multilateral partnerships. ”Investing in people – Commissioner for European Neighbourhood Policy Stefan Fule underlined – is a key objective of the EU Neighbourhood Policy. Fruitful cooperation between higher education institutions in the EU and European Neighbourhood countries will be continued, helping to share knowledge, experience and ideas. The significant increase of funding to this programme illustrates the renewed commitment of the EU to support higher education in this region”. Overall, more than 450 institutions from these countries will be able to collaborate in a structured way with a similar number of institutions from the EU in two to three-year projects starting in 2012. Public and private companies and NGOs will also be involved.
