Erasmus Mundus: External Cooperation Window for Iran, Iraq and Yemen
The European Union (EU) has launched a scheme that provides 110 scholarships for students and academic staff from Iran, Iraq and Yemen to study at European higher education institutions, as well as nine scholarships for EU nationals to study at partner universities in these three countries. 
The EU's new Erasmus Mundus External Cooperation Window offers more than 1,300 scholarships to Russia, Central Asia, Iran, Iraq and Yemen for purposes of studying, training or carrying out research abroad in the academic year of 2007-2008. The scholarships are targeted at undergraduate, master's, doctorate and post-doctoral levels, as well as at the exchange of academic staff for teaching, training and research purposes. 
The International Institute for Geo-Information Science and Earth Observation (ITC) is coordinating this special Erasmus Window programme for the implementation of the 119 scholarships (Euro 3 million). ITC has formed a partnership of 10 European universities (holding an Erasmus Charter) located in 10 different European countries and 10 universities located in Iran, Iraq and Yemen (and associations and networks of universities). 
Consequently, students or scholars from Iran, Iraq and Yemen can now apply via the website http://www.erasmusmundus7.net and choose from a wide variety of academic fields. They have the choice of a number of study levels, as well as the option to study at 10 leading European Universities. The programme will finance mobility expenses (i.e., travel costs, subsistence allowances, tuition fees, and insurance costs). 

Registration for scholarships for the academic year 2007-2008 is possible now, until October 1st, 2007.
Contact info at erasmusmundus7.net if you have questions or remarks regarding the online application.
