Erasmus Mundus – Al Idrisi II provides scholarships for undergraduate students from Europe and North Africa. The grants are financed by the European Commission and include a monthly subsistence allowance, travel expenses, insurance costs and tuition fees if applicable.
Erasmus Mundus – Al Idrisi II is a scholarship scheme for exchange and cooperation between Europe and North Africa that will establish an active institution-based mobility network among 19 North African and EU partner universities and 6 associate universities supported by 3 associate institutions and the Ministries of Higher Education in the region. The project will allow undergraduate, master and doctoral students, post-doctoral fellows and academic and administrative staff to gain valuable experience, knowledge and contacts abroad.
The project focuses strongly on regional needs in North Africa and the development of specific and relevant areas that were defined by the partners.
