CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION
1.1
Presentation and organisation of these instruction notes
These detailed instructions follow the same order as the 2011 Erasmus Mundus Action 1 – Joint Programmes Application Form.
Applicants who do not refer to these notes or who do not follow the instructions and guidance in them risk submitting an incomplete or incorrect application, and therefore significantly reducing the chances of their application being successful.
Please note that these instructions have to be read in conjunction with the eForm User Guide which provides guidance on the technical functionalities of the electronic form and on the on-line submission of applications. The update of this User Guide will be available on EACEA website concomitantly with the final version of the eForm. In the meantime references to this User Guide are have been highlighted in grey in the enclosed instructions. It also includes contact details of the helpdesk to answer any technical questions that applicants may have.
1.2
Definitions
In line with the EM Programme Guide Consortium means the grouping of higher education institutions (also including doctoral/graduate/research school s or research organisations in the case of EMJD consortia) that will be responsible for the direct implementation of the proposed joint programme. The consortium members are: the Applicant /Coordinating organisation: that submits the proposal and acts as coordinating organisation on behalf of the consortium; i f the proposal is selected, the Applicant organisation will become the beneficiary organisation and will sign the Framework Partnership Agreement and further Specific Grant Agreements with the Agency; and the (full) Partner organisations: although the Applicant organisation submits the proposal and, if approved, acts as beneficiary and contact point for the Agency during the joi nt programme's implementation, full partner organisations must have been fully involved in the preparation of the proposal. They should formally confirm their commitment and contribution to it through endorsement letters included in the proposal and signed by their highest authorities (President, Rector, Vice-Chancellor, etc.). Associated partners are organisations involved in the application although they do not form part of the consortium. They cannot receive direct funding from the project's EU grant but can contribute to the promotion, implementation and /or evaluation of the joint programme.
3
Unlike full partner organisations, associated partners do not need to be formally identified in section A and B of the application form. However, for those associated partners that play a structural (formal/longstanding) role in the joint programme (e.g. by providing financial support, hosting students regularly or contributing to the joint programme's evaluation ), it is advisable to include them under these sections as well as to provide endorsement letters/letters of intent in which they formally confirm their concrete contribution to the project.
1.3
Contents of the Application Package
The Application Package consists of the following 3 mandatory documents: DOCUMENT 1. The Application form: The application form is organized in 5 Parts as follows: Part A: Identification of the applicant and other organisations participating in the project Part B: Organisation and activities Part C: Summary data and description of the project Part D: Technical Capacity Part E: Degree-awarding summary You will find information and advice for completing each of these parts in Chapter 2 of these instructions. DOCUMENT 2. The "Declaration on Honour by the Legal Representative of the Applicant Organisation" (to be attached to the application form) DOCUMENT 3. The "Consortium's answer to the Award criteria" (to be attached to the application form- (Max 25 pages – Times New Roman font – Font size 11)
Chapter 1 also includes detailed information on the assessment mechanisms that will be used to evaluate applications. If any of the three mandatory documents that constitute the application package are not submitted, incomplete or unsigned, the application will be considered as ineligible and will not be accepted. In addition to the application form itself, future Action 1 applicants are also invited to send the Agency, at the latest one month in advance of the formal application deadline, a Summary sheet providing the joint programme's title and thematic area. This will allow the Agency to fine tune its experts’ recruitment and ensure adequate matching between the experts' field of expertise and the project’s thematic area(s).
1.4 Application deadline and submission procedure The following table provides a summary of the application deadline as well as of the submission procedure and obligations. Because of the strict application of the submission deadline, applicants are strongly advised not to wait for the last moment to prepare and submit their electronic applications.

B.1 By midday 12:00:00 (Central European Time - CET) at the latest
→ Electronic Application form composed of the duly completed Application Package
(Documents 1, 2 and 3, as specified under section 1.3 above) ATTENTION: At 12:00:00 CET on 29 April 2011, the electronic submission procedure will be blocked and it will not be possible anymore to submit this electronic application to the Agency. ! Failure to meet this electronic submission deadline will lead to the automatic rejection of any proposal received through other means (paper or e-mail). It is highly recommended to avoid last minute submission, notably because submission may take time depending from the used connection and server usage. B.2 By midnight – 24:00:00 (Central European Time - CET) at the latest
→ By e-mail:
B.2.a → To the Agency at the following mailbox: EACEA-Erasmus-Mundus@ec.europa.eu B.2.b → and to the Erasmus Mundus National Structures (EM NS) of the country of each participating organisation (applicant or full partners) at the relevant contact details available under the following link: http://ec.europa.eu/education/erasmus-mundus/doc1515_en.htm 1- copy of the submitted application (Documents 1, 2 and 3 referred to under B.1 above)- in pdf format 2-Relevant annexes*: a) highly recommended - letters of endorsement/intent from partner organisations ; - blank copies of the degree(s), and/or proof of recognition of the proposed degree(s).(on this latter, for further information see chapter 2 Part E last bullet points) b) others (e.g.): - (draft) consortium agreement, if available; - model of Diploma Supplement, if avail able; - student/doctoral candidate agreement, if available; - for joint doctorate proposals, copy of an employment contract, if available ; For the smooth processing of your e -mail application, it is important that: The subject of your e-mail starts with the 6 digit submission number of your eform; Each annex is identified with a (short and) meaningful name so as to facilitate its identification at assessment stage (e.g. "LE-P4" for the letter of endorsement provided by the partner identified as P4 in the eform; or "degree-P4P6" for the model of the joint degree that will be delivered on behalf of these two partners). * Please note that the above annexes cannot replace essential information expected to be in the application package; they should only support , illustrate or evidence the information already included in the application. Although none of these annexes are considered mandatory (i.e. the application will not be declared ineligible if some or all are absent), the ir presence and quality may be assessed in the context of the relevant award criteria.
5
In order to reduce the size of the email message you are advised to group the annexes in a compressed (e.g. zip) file. If, because of the size of the application, more than one message needs to be sent, pl ease use the same subject followed by "(part 1)", "(part 2)", etc.
Applicants must ensure that the presentation of the application package complies with the following provisions: The eForm (submitted electronically) must include its two mandatory annexes, i.e. a scanned version of the "Declaration on Honour" (duly completed and signed by the legal representative of the Applicant Organisation) and an electronic version of the "Consortium Answers to the Award Criteria". These documents must be attached to the eForm. See the section 6 of the eForm User Guide for guidance on how to attach documents in the eForm. The application (including the answer to the award criteria) must be completed electronically by computer (no handwritten submissions, or submissions completed using a typewriter will be accepted). Any information or documents other than the three mandatory documents constituting the Application Package will be considered as additional information only, and will not necessarily be taken into consideration by experts in the evaluation of the application. Therefore make sure the relevant information is provided under each of the award criteria so that the application can eventually be evaluated on this sole basis. No changes to the application can be made after it has been submitted. However, if there is a need to clarify certain aspects, the applicant concerned may be contacted for this purpose. Applicants are STRONGLY advised to submit their application well in advance of the deadline and to keep proof of the safe arrival of the application in the system. Additionally ensure that the copies (sent by e-mail to EACEA and to the EM NS of each of the European partner organisations) are dispatched by the deadline s indicated in the table above.
1.5
Key reference documents
Applicants should refer to the following documents in order to prepare their project and complete their form: Erasmus Mundus 2009-2013 Programme Guide This document provides information on the different eligibility, exclusion, selection and award criteria, the assessment and selection procedure and timetable, the contractual and financial regulations applicable to selected proposals. http://eacea.ec.europa.eu/erasmus_mundus/programme/programme_guide_en.php Erasmus Mundus Call for Proposals 2011 http://eacea.ec.europa.eu/erasmus_mundus/funding/2011/call_eacea_41_10_en. php

1.6
The Award Criteria, Experts Assessment and Scoring Mechanism The English, French and German version of the five award criteria and their respective subcriteria can be found on the Erasmus Mundus Call for Proposals page: http://eacea.ec.europa.eu/erasmus_mundus/funding/2011/call_eacea_41_10_en.php . The proposal will be assessed against the five award criteria by at least two external independent experts who will have to reach a consensus on the scoring as well as on the comments that will be sent as feedback to each applicant. Experts will be asked to assess the way the elements covered by the award (sub -)criteria have been addressed by the applicant consortium. In this context, their evaluation will not only cover the answers provided to each individual sub-criterion. It will also review the relevance of other elements of the application form to the award criteria, such as: The way the participating organisations (applicant, full partner organisations and, if relevant, associated partners) have described their expertise and concrete contribution to the proposal; The quality and soundness of the endorsement letters provided by the full partner organisations and, if relevant, the associated partners; The validity of the degrees intended to be delivered.
Scoring mechanism The assessment grids below show the scoring mechanism that will be used by the independent external experts assessing the applications submitted to the Executive Agency under the Erasmus Mundus Action 1 Call for Proposals 2011. Theses scores – ranging from 0 to 5 with the possibility of half points - will be applied to each of the individual sub-criterion covered in the five award criteria .
0 – missing information 1 – poor
A score of 0 is given for a criterion if the information detailed in the Call for Proposals would reasonably have been expected and is not present in the proposal. A score of 0.5 will not be given. A score of 1.0 or 1.5 will be awarded if the proposal is of poor quality for the criterion in question. This may be because information is incomplete in the view of the expert, not clear or not convincing.
2 - fair
A score of 2.0 or 2.5 will be awarded where the content of th e criterion in question is at a level consistent with that routinely produced by the universities across Europe. There may be some strong and relevant points within the proposal, but there may also be weaknesses and in particular there may be no specific details brought out which singles out the proposal from others.
3 - good
Scores of 3.0 or 3.5 indicate that the proposal demonstrates overall good features with regard to the award criterion in question (even though it may contain some weaknesses) but does not contain features that set it
7
apart from many other good proposals being assessed. 4 – very good Scores of 4.0 or 4.5 reflect that the proposal has identifiable features which demonstrate that the proposal is of a high quality with regard to the award criterion in question. It includes features that set the proposal apart from other good quality proposals within the assessment 5 - excellent In general, scores of 5 are not used unless experts consider that the content of the proposal could not be impro ved.
The total score for the application will correspond to the sum of the scores given to each subcriterion, weighted by the percentage allocated to the relevant award criterion.
Once the evaluation procedure is completed, applicants will receive as feedback from the Agency The consolidated comments provided by the external independent experts who have evaluated the proposal; An indication of the proposal's overall quality as compared to all applications received under the corresponding action. More information on the expert assessment procedure can be found in the Erasmus Mundus Action 1 Experts Assessment Manual used for the selection round of April 2010. These are available on the 2011 Call page: http://eacea.ec.europa.eu/erasmus_mundus/funding/201 1/call_eacea_41_10_en.php
1.7.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) On the Agency's website (http://eacea.ec.europa.eu/erasmus_mundus/tools/faq_en.php ), potential applicants will find the answers provided by the Erasmus Mundus Team to the most frequent (/relevant) questions raised by Action 1 applicants and/or beneficiaries while preparing or implementing their joint programmes . These answers are updated regularly and more frequently during the period that follows the publication of t he Call for proposal and prior to the application deadline(s).
Applicants are invited to refer to these FAQs regularly to clarify possible doubts and ensure that they benefit from the information and clarification provided by the Agency to other applicants and beneficiaries.

CHAPTER 2: THE APPLICATION PACKAGE 2.1. Document 1 - The Application Form Applications for Erasmus Mundus Action 1a and 1b projects must be submitted by eForm. The eForm is an Adobe software development and applicants should ensure that they can install (at least) Adobe Reader version 8.1.5 on the computer they will be using to complete the application form. In certain organisations this may require the intervention of your central helpdesk as some organisations do not allow installation on local PCs. T he form is downloaded onto a local computer and can be completed remotely. Once the text is ready and the mandatory attachments are linked to the application, it needs to be submitted using an internet connection.
The eForm is designed to ensure that applicants have the greatest chance of submitting an eligible application. Therefore you will find that submission is impossible unless all mandatory fields are completed and mandatory attachments enclosed (see above section 1.3). Full details of these are available in the form of the eForm User Guide that will be published alongside the eForm.
Cover page of the application form
Drop down list with 2 values: Erasmus Mundus joint master course (EMMC) or Erasmus Mundus joint doctorate programme (EMJD). Not applicable
Choose a title that will be meaningful to someone who knows nothing about the project If selected, the acronym will be the main project ID. It should be short and easy to remember Drop down list: only EN, FR, or DE
9
Note: Once the appropriate Action - EMMC or EMJD – has been selected, Part C.1 of the eForm will only display the fields and questions relevant to the Action selected. If the application is selected for funding, the contents of the application form will constitute the basis of the agreements between the Agency and the consortium members. As a result, the language used must be the communication language used between all the members of your consortium. The application form must be completed in ONE language only. Do not provide information on individual partners in various languages as the experts selected to assess your application will not necessarily be able to understand what is written. All fields marked with * are obligatory.
Part A. Identification of the Applicant and if applicable other organisations participating in the project Note: Please read section 5.2 of the eForm User Guide for information on the way Parts A and B behave and need to be filled in. Part A (with the exception of section A.3 applicable to the applicant organisation only) and Part B.1 and B.2 must be completed by all the consortium members in accordance notably with the consortium minimum requirements stated in sections 4.2.1 (EMMC proposals) or 5.2.1 (EMJD proposals) of the EM Programme Guide. Although it is not mandatory to complete Parts A and B for associated partners, it is nevertheless recommended to do so for those associated partners that play an important (/formal /structural /longstanding) role in the joint programme (e.g. by acting as regular host organisation for students/doctoral candidates, by providing financial support through complementary scholarships or through other means, by contributing to the quality assessment of the joint programme, etc.). Those associated partners whose expertise and support will be called upon on an ad hoc basis (i.e. only if relevant and not necessarily for all editions of the joint programme) should not be included under Parts A and B and should only be referred to in the answer to the relevant sub-criteria (e.g. under sub-criteria A.1.6, 3.3, 5.2 for EMMCs or B.1.4, 2.4; 5.2 or 5.4 for EMJDs). As explained in section 5.2 of the eForm User Guide, each organisation registered in Parts A and B will be allocated a "Partner number" that starts with P1 for the applicant organisation. Please, register your consortium members first before, if applicable, registering the most important of your associated partners.
10
By default, Part A always starts with the applicant organisation, identified as "P1". This is the only organisation record that cannot be deleted.
Drop-down menu providing the official regions for the country selected in the previous field. For the applicant organisation, the internet address should be the one of the joint programme's website (if available). If not - and as for all other participating organisations - provide the organisation's website. More information on the website expected content can be consulted under:
Tick the box ONLY if the address is different from that provided under A.1. Then the system will not replicate the contact details inputted in A1.
11
Note: Section A.2 has to be filled in for all organisations registered under Part A, i.e. applicant, full partner organisations and, if relevant, the most important associated partners. The contact person in the Applicant Organisation must be the “project coordinator”. If the proposal is selected, he/she will be the sole contact of the Agency for project monitoring purposes and will liaise with the other partners in order to ensure the effective implementation of the joint programme. It is therefore crucial to identify a person who is genuinely in charge of the project and can dedicate the required time to its management (as opposed to the head of an administrative, academic or research department who may be responsible for the project but not directly involved in its implementation). The same applies to the contact persons in the partner organisations. Since correspondence with the Agency will mainly take place through e-mail, if it very important that the e-mail address provided is checked at least on a daily basis and, if possible, accessed by (/shared with) more than one person in the (applicant) organisation.
Tick the box ONLY if the address is different from that provided under A.1 Then the system will not replicate the contact details inputted in A1.
Note: Section A.3 will have to be filled in for the applicant organisation only (it will not be displayed for other participating organisations). The person identified in this section must also sign the Declaration on Honour attached to the eForm. If the application is successful this person will also be required to sign the Framework Partnership Agreement and the Specific Grant Agreements, as well as any other associated documents. If it is discovered in later stages of the selection or contractualisation processes that the person identified as the Legal representative did not have the authority to sign, the application may be withdrawn and lead therefore to its rejection. If the Legal representative has a different address from the registered address, click on the box provided to access the fields necessary to provide this information.
12
Part B. Organisation and activities This section is a very important element for the assessment of the award criteria relating to the operational capacity as well as the quality and expertise of the consortium (e.g. A.1.5, 3.1, for EMMC proposals or B.2.1, 2.2, 2.3, or 5.1 for EMJD proposals). It should be completed in the same language as the rest of the application form (and not, for example, in the languages of the respective partners).
Drop-down list Drop-down list (see annex for the list of organisation types)
Note: Each full partner organisation and, if applicable, those associated partners that play a formal (/structural) role in the project, must complete this section. The Erasmus Mundus Programme considers as public bodies all recognised higher education institutions, and all institutions or organisations which have received over 50 % of their annual revenues from public sources over the last two years, or which are controlled by public bodies or their representatives. Only one "type of organisation" may be selected for each organisation (see list of types in annex). If an organisation could be considered under a variety of the options offered, select the one that most closely relates to the statutes of the organisation and / or the one that most closely relates to the specific role in this application (additional explanations on the type can be provided under section B.2). Under the EMJD sub-action please note that in line with the EM programme Guide section 5.2.1 – and although the system provides only for the 'University or higher education institution (tertiary level)' option - a Doctoral/Graduate/Research School or Research Organisations located in a "European" country, entitled to deliver doctorate degrees and recognised as such by the relevant authorities of the country concerned can act as EMJD Applicant/Coordinating institution/P1 organisation. In this case, please leave the "University or higher education institution (tertiary level)" option and continue filling in the eForm.
13
Note: This section is to be completed by each of the consortium organisation (applicant and full partners) and the associated partners with a formal/longstanding role (see section 1.2 above), if relevant. It must be completed in the same language as the rest of the application form. Short Presentation of the organisation: This description should include the scope of the organisation's work, its areas of specific expertise and competence in relation to the joint programme proposed. Role of the organisation in the joint programme: The information provided in this section must correspond to the specific tasks allocated to the organisation in the implementation and evaluation of the joint programme.
Note: If applicable, this section must be filled in by the applicant organisation only. The latter should provide a list of projects that have been supported with EU finance in the last three years. For large universities, the information should relate to the department / faculty concerned only.
Note: When relevant, this section must be filled in by all participating organisations that have submitted European funding requests linked to the proposed joint programme. This information will be used before the end of the selection to ensure the absence of double funding for the same project.
Part C. Statistical data and Summary of the joint programme Note: Please read section 5.3 of the eForm User Guide for information on the way Part C behaves and needs to be filled in. This section invites applicants to provide some key information on their joint programme.
14
C DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT In accordance with the "action" selected in the first page of the application form – i.e. EMMC or EMJD -, the information requested under Part C.1. of the Application form will vary. The section below provides information on the data t hat will have to be provided for each of the two sub-actions concerned.
Drop-down list: 60 ECTS (or 2 semesters), 90 ECTS (or 3 semesters) or 120 ECTS (or 4 semesters)
C.1 STATISTICAL DATA (EMMCs)
Note: These two sections have been included in the application form for information and statistical purposes only.
Only EMMCs funded during the first phase of the programme and whose programme funding has come to an end with the 2011 edition of the joint programme or before1, must answer positively to the question "Is the proposal a continuation of an existing EMMC?" and provide the information requested under the next three fields. When an EMMC proposal is selected for funding, the Agency concludes a five- year Framework Partnership Agreement with the coordinating institution. The EM Framework Partnership Agreement number is specified on the front page of this document and comprises a group of 4 digits corresponding to the year of the first funded edition followed with a group of 4 additional digits, e.g. 2007-0012. If the new proposal includes important changes in relation to the previously funded EMMC – for instance in the consortium composition or in the course content or structure – these changes will be assessed by the Agency with the assistance of the external independent experts.
1
Those EMMCs that have unsuccessfully applied for a continuation of funding under the 2009 or 2010 Call for Proposals should answer "yes" to the EMMC continuation question
15
Note: Please specify if the proposal was already submitted under previous EM calls for proposals. The objective is to retrieve past information so as to analyse improvement made by the consortium as compared to the earlier application and the way experts' recommendations have been taken into account. For the previously submitted applications, the application number was composed of groups of digits followed with groups of letters (e.g.: 502936-1-2010-1-EN-ERA MUNDUS-EMMC). Please provide the 6 first digits (e.g. 502936)
Note: This information will be used for statistical purposes only Specify if the joint programme foresees that enrolled students will have to perform a traineeship / internship / professional placement accounting in the final grading/ECTS obtained Refer to the definition of "European countrie s" as stated in the chapter 2 "definition and glossary" of the EM Programme Guide.
Drop-down list of months Drop-down list of months Drop-down list with values from 2 to 9 Drop-down list: values "1" or "2"
Note: The duration of the EMMC covers the period: starting with the beginning of the first students' mandatory activities and ending with the official communication of the final results and the official graduation ceremony If some students have to join the programme at an earlier stage –for instance, in order to take intensive language courses –, this period must not be included in the joint programme's duration.
16
As stated under section 4.2.2 of the EM Programme Guide, the joint programme must start the earliest in August of year "n" (year when the students are selected) and end at the latest in October of the relevant year (depending if the course if of 60, 90 or 120 ECTS). It is the consortium responsibility to ensure, in accordance with the different academic calendars in place in the participating institutions, that the start and end dates fall within the mandatory timeframe. The question on the number of countries visited by the candidates during their studies must be answered while bearing in mind the EMMC minimum mobility requirements as stated in section 4.2.2 of the EM Programme Guide. The minimum number of countries to be visited during EMMC activities applies to all enrolled students. Since the individual fellowship amount for Category B candidates varies in accordance with the requirement (or not) to visit non-EU partners or associated partners, applicants are invited to specify this aspect in their answers to the relevant under sub-criteria (e.g. A.1.5)
Drop-down list
Note: EMMC consortia are free to decide in which language(s) the joint programme will be delivered. The language field provides the list of all official languages of the European Union. Applicants can add as many languages as relevant, but in this case this must be clearly explained under the relevant award criteria, as well as to the students prior to their enrolment.
the amount must be provided in euro
the amount must be provided in euro
Note: As stated under footnote 40 of the EM Programme Guide, participation costs must be understood as "any compulsory administrative/operational cost related to the participation of the student in the EMMC (e.g. library, tuition, social security and insurance, etc.)" not covered by the consortium and therefore, charged to enrolled students. The amounts to be provided must correspond to the participation costs per semester (i.e. for 30 ECTS) and in euro charged to candidate students, irrespective of whether or not they receive an Erasmus Mundus scholarship. If necessary, consortia can define different amounts for European and non-European students.
17
Detailed information on the coverage of the participation costs, the way they have been calculated and, if applicable, their estimated evolution during the period covered by the Framework Partnership Agreement will have to be provided in the answers to the relevant award sub-criteria (e.g. A.2.5, 3.2 for EMMC proposals B.3.4 for EMJD proposals). If the participation costs amounts for any of the two categories exceed the EM Programme maximum contribution included in the student's scholarships, the consortium will have to explain (more particularly under sub-criterion A.2.5 and B.3.4) how and by whom the difference between this maximum contribution and the actual participation costs will be covered. If other non mandatory participation costs are charged to students for their participation in specific activities these costs must be specified to the students, at application stage at the latest.
N ote: Applicant consortia should specify the number of students they expect to enrol per edition of their EMMC (all students, with or without EM scholarship) , bearing in mind that: o the number of scholarships offered by the Programme will be defined on a yearly basis for each of the five consecutive funded editions of the EMMC and will vary in accordance with the joint programme's "seniority" (i.e. previous years of EM funding). For the remaining period of EM 2009-2013, this number will most probably vary from 17 to 14 scholarships for the new EMMCs, and 12 to 10 for "continued" ones. o the joint programme should not depend exclusively on the Erasmus Mundus funding.
C.1 STATISTICAL DATA (EMJDs)
Drop-down list: values "3" or "4" To be answered only if applicable
Note: EMJDs can last 3 or 4 years but the Erasmus Mundus fellowships are always awarded for period of 3 years or 36 months. If the EMJD is expected to last four years: o o the 36-month fellowship can be used at any time during this period but the monthly allowance cannot be recalculated in order to cover 48 months; the consortium will have to explain how the doctoral candidate's costs incurred during the year not covered by the fellowship will be taken care of and how the enrolment
18
conditions and costs will remain coherent as compared to those of the period covered by the fellowship. As stated under section 5.2.2 of the EM Programme Guide, joint doctorate programmes should ensure that, on a yearly basis, all recruited doctoral candidates start their doctorate activities between August "year n" and March "year n+1" and complete these activities (including the thesis defence) at the latest by October of "year n+4". It is the consortium responsibility to ensure, in accordance with the different academic calendars in place in the participating institutions, that the start and end dates fall within this timeframe. An EMJD is considered to be "laboratory-based" if the research projects carried out by the candidate students require the usage of expensive equipment/materials , the execution of external fieldwork or involve particularly high costs that would (largely) exceed the 300 € / month included in the fellowship amount for " non-laboratory-based" research projects. The selection of the "laboratory-based" (or "non-laboratory-based") option will have to be justified in the answer to the relevant sub-criteria (e.g. B.3.4). These explanations will be assessed by the external independent experts and, if necessary, be the subject of a request for clarification from the consortium if the joint programme is selected for funding. Once an EMJD has been defined as "laboratory-based" (or "non-laboratory-based"), the corresponding amount of participation costs will be included in the individual fellowship amount of all recruited candidates. In the case of a "laboratory-based" EMJD, the Agency will reserve the right to request the reimburseme nt of the difference with the "non-laboratorybased" amount if, at final report stage, it appears that the individual candidate's research project does not justify the additional costs.
Tick boxes with multiple choice possible
Note: EMJDs are required to offer "employment contracts" (see section 2 "Definitions and Glossary" of the EM programme Guide) to their Erasmus Mundus fellowship holders except in adequately documented cases where national regulation would prohibit this possibility. If such a contract may not be awarded (this will have to be duly justified in the application form), the EMJD consortium may opt for another approach compatible with national legislation and the necessary social security coverage for the fellowship holders.

Note: These two sections have been included in the application form for information and statistical purposes only. The relevant data should be provided only if applicable. When an EMMC proposal is selected for funding, the Agency concludes a five- year Framework Partnership Agreement with the Coordinating institution. The EM Framework Partnership Agreement number is specified on the front page of the document and comprises a group of 4 digits for the year of the first funded edition followed with a group of 4 additional digits, e.g. 2007-0012
Note: Please specify if the proposal was already submitted under previous EM calls for proposals. The objective is to retrieve past information in order to analyse the improvements made by the consortium as compared to the earlier application and the way the experts' recommendations have been taken into account. The application number starts with a group of 6 digits followed with groups of letters, e.g.: 502936-(EM) - 1-2010-1-FR-ERA MUNDUS-EMJD. Please provide the 6 first digits , i.e. in this case 502936
Drop-down list
Note: The question on the countries visited by the candidates during their doctoral research project should be answered while bearing in mind the EMJD minimum mobility requirements stated in section 5.2.2 of the EM Programme Guide. The minimum number of countries to be visited during the research activities must apply to all enrolled candidates. Since the individual fellowship amount for Category B candidates varies in accordance with the requirement (or not) to visit non-EU partners or associated partners, applicants are invited to specify this aspect in their answers to the relevant under sub-criteria (e.g. B.3.2)
20
All selected EMJDs should include a training component in core and transversal skills directly related to the researcher's professional needs. EMJD consortia are free to decide in which language(s) these training modules will be delivered. The language field provides the list of all official languages of the European Union.
Note: Applicant consortia should specify the number of candidates they expect to enrol per edition of their EMJD (all doctoral candidates, with or without EM fellowship), bearing in mind that the number of fellowships offered by the Programme will be defined on a yearly basis for each of the five consecutive funded editions of the EMJD. This number will most probably vary between 10 and 7 fellowships for each edition of the joint programme. the joint programme should not depend exclusively on the Erasmus Mundus funding. C.2 THEMATIC FIELDS
Drop-down list with general categories of thematic fields
Drop-down list with specific categories of thematic fields, filtered according to the choice made under the "level 1"
21
Note: The list of thematic fields – level 1 and 2 - is available in annex to these instructions. Applicant consortia have the possibility to select up to three different thematic areas among the list of domains provided in the drop -down lists. In order to do so they should: 1. identify first the "main area" of the joint programme and select the relevant category under those provided under "level 1" and 2. select the specific category under those provided under "level 2" 3. if applicable, provide a free text describing the thematic area if t he option "other" has been selected under "level 2". 4. repeat – where applicable – steps 2 to 3 for the "second" and "third" thematic area covered by the joint programme. C.3 SUMMARY DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT
For successful applications, this section will be reproduced, as presented, in the form of an abstract in compendia and other publications used for the promotion and publicity of the Erasmus Mundus programme. Applicants should therefore ensure that the text gives a concrete overview of the joint programme in its content, structure and main characteristics (thematic areas covered, institutions involved, structure and length of the programme, final degree(s) awarded, etc.) The limit of 3000 characters (including spaces) cannot be exceeded. The abstract must be provided in English, French or German. Part D. Technical Capacity Note: Please read section 5.4 of the eForm User Guide for information on the way Part D behaves and needs to be filled in.
22
Note: Under this section, the applicant should list all relevant projects/activities imple mented by the consortium members in relation to the proposal (e.g. joint international programmes at masters/doctorate level, delivery of joint/double/multiple degrees, management of international mobility schemes, research expertise in the thematic areas concerned, joint ventures or start ups with private enterprises related to the joint programme thematic areas, etc.)
Note: Once Parts A and B have been created for each consortium member a part D.2 will be generated automatically for each of these organisations. Note that this does not apply for associated partners identified under Parts A and B. For each of the organisations concerned, the consortium will have to describe the relevant skills and experience of the key staff directly involved in the implementation of the joint programme, from an academic, research, financial and/or administrative point of view (A maximum of 750 characters may be recorded for each member of staff. Please note that these fields enable you to provide CV information but it is not possible to enter or upload actual CVs). There should be at least one person identified per consortium member (applicant and partners) with a maximum of three (e.g. one administrator and two academics/research ers). The information provided in Part D will be used in rel ation to the assessment of the consortium's quality and expertise in implementing a joint postgraduate programme (for instance sub-criteria A.1.5, 3.1 for EMMC proposals or B.2.1, or 5.1 for EMJD proposals).
23
Part E. Degree(s) Awarded Note: Please read section 5.5 of the eForm User Guide for information on the way Part E behaves and needs to be filled in.
Multiple choice possible
Note: Once Parts A and B have been created for each consortium full partner a part E will be generated automatically for each of these organisations. Note that this does not apply for associated partners selected under Parts A and B. Under this section the degree-awarding institutions will have to specify the type of degree(s) intended to be awarded to successful students or doctoral candidates as well as the official name of each of these degrees, and the function of the degree signatory. First, applicants will have to select one or more of the three options provided to identify the type of degree(s) that will be delivered to successful students or doctoral candidates ( i.e. Double degree, Multiple Degree or Joint Degree). Please note that, depending on the mobility track and the degree(s) awarded by the corresponding institutions, it is possible that, within the same cohort, some graduates will receive a joint degree, while other s will receive a double or a multiple degree, or even a joint degree accompanied by one or more national degrees. In a second step, each of the degrees intended to be delivered by the consortium members will have to be presented in the table. The information to be provided concerns : o the official name of the degree in the language of the degree awarding organisation; o its translation in English, if available;
24
o
o o
its type, i.e. if it will be delivered as a "stand-alone" national degree or as part of a joint degree; its recognition status at the time of the application (i.e. already recognised or not) and depending on the answer provided before, the expected date for its official recognition or its validity end date. the function/position of the degree signatory: EMMCs and EMJDs should lead to the award of (a) formal degree document(s) which lay out , content, visas and signature(s) are in line with the national legislation and regulations concerned. Therefore degree awarding institutions are expected to indicate in section E which of their authorities will sign the formal degree document awarded (e.g. rector). The eligibility of the degree(s) intended to be awarded will be cross-checked with the Erasmus Mundus National Structures of the countries concerned (and where applicable also with the EU delegations). In order to facilitate the verification process by EM National Structures , and for already accredited degrees, each European degree awarding institution (i.e. applicant and full partners) must provide in annex to the application package (see 1.4. B.2.b above) proof of recognition of the proposed degree to the EM National Structure of its country. When already accredited/recognised, the consortium must provide the proof of recognition to the relevant EM National Structures in accordance with the national requirements in place. When the recognition/accreditation process is not yet completed, the consortium will have to demonstrate either that this process has already been launched or that it will be completed in time and prior to the enrolment of the first Erasmus Mundus students in the joint programme. The degree award institutions concerned are strongly invited to contact their respective National Structure prior to the application deadline to verify the necessary documents they should provide (or to consult the relevant National Structures' websites if the information is available there). The National Structures' contact l ist is available at: http://ec.europa.eu/education/erasmus -mundus/doc1515_en.htm
