Background:
Tempus, Erasmus Mundus and Jean Monnet are the European Union's key programmes for international cooperation in higher education. Tempus promotes partnerships between higher education institutions in the EU and the Partner Countries surrounding the EU: the Southern Mediterranean, Western Balkans, Eastern Europe, Russia and Central Asia. The Erasmus Mundus Programme is a world-wide programme, promoting joint programmes of outstanding quality at masters and doctoral levels, partnerships between European and third-country higher education institutions, and projects to promote European higher education. The Jean Monnet Programme has created an ongoing debate with the academic world to reflect on political issues of European integration, including the EU's role in the dialogue between peoples and cultures. NaUKMA has been implementing 12 Tempus and 3 Jean Monnet programmes. In 2011, NaUKMA joined Erasmus Mundus.
