The first Call for Proposals of the Intra-Africa Academic Mobility Scheme 2022-2027 financed under the Neighbourhood, Development and International Cooperation Instrument (NDICI-Global Europe), has now been published on the Funding and Tender Opportunities Portal of the European Commission.
As you know, the Intra-Africa Academic Mobility Scheme is the EU’s programme to encourage international learning mobility across the African continent by providing support for consortia of African Higher Education Institutions and scholarship opportunities for African trainees, students, and staff. It is built on the positive experience of the related previous programmes, the Intra-ACP Academic Mobility Scheme (2010-2013) and Intra-Africa Academic Mobility Scheme I-IV (2016-2020).
The action is part of the Youth Mobility for Africa flagship in the field of Education and Training under the Global Gateway Africa-Europe Investment Package and it aims to support learning opportunities and exchanges and ultimately to promote Africa as an attractive study destination.
The programme is managed by the European, Education, and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA), in cooperation with the Directorate General for International Partnerships (DG INTPA) and in collaboration with the African Union Commission (AUC).
Following the publication of the Call for proposals, EACEA is organising an online information session on Friday, 21 April 2023 (9.30 – 12.30 CET/CEST, Brussels Time). This session will build on the first pre-information session held on 13 March 2023 with the aim of introducing the new scheme. During this session, the speakers will provide an overview of the programme and details on the new Call, including information on the selection process, the eligibility, selection and award criteria. The participants will also receive guidance and advice on how to prepare and submit an application through the Funding and Tender Opportunities Portal.
Please note that the registration is compulsory and can be done via the event webpage, where additional information and the agenda are also available. The video recording of the session and the PowerPoint presentations will be made available on the same webpage after the event.
