Tempus III

Important Remark

Under Tempus III the CEE countries which have signed an Association Agreement with the European Union, i.e. the candidate countries, are no longer eligible for Tempus funding. These countries instead have access to the Community programs for higher education and training, Socrates and Leonardo. However, Tempus III will seek to maintain links with this group of countries by associating them in the program by the transfer of their experience and know-how to the partner countries within Tempus.

Budget Line Number
B7-520

Budget Amount
Unallocated at present for 2000

Objectives

The Tempus program is the European Union’s cooperation scheme for higher education which facilitates the adaptation of higher education to the new socio-economic and cultural needs of the eligible countries.

Under the new phase of the program Tempus seeks to contribute to:

• the reform of higher education structures and institutions and their management;
• issues of curriculum development and overhaul in priority areas;
• the development of administrative and institutional structures by providing the framework and resources for the training of staff;
• the development of skill-related training to address specific higher and advanced level skill shortages during economic reform, in particular through improved and extended links with industry;
• strengthening regional cooperation particularly in South East Europe but also between different partner countries from NIS and Mongolia, by encouraging the participation of several partner countries in the same project.

Funding is available for different types of programs: Joint European Projects (JEP), Networking Projects (NP) and Individual Mobility Grants (IMG).

The overall aim of the Joint European and Networking Projects is to restructure and modernise higher education systems and their role in society by providing a framework for partnerships between universities. The Individual Mobility Grants support visits which can take place either from partner countries to the EU member states or vice-versa, from partner countries to other partner countries or to the candidate countries from Central and Eastern Europe.

Eligibility

Universities, industries, companies, public authorities, business organizations, professional associations, social partners.

Geographical Area

EU, NIS and the non associated countries of CEE namely Albania, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia and FYR Macedonia.

The candidate countries of CEE, countries belonging to the G24 Group, Cyprus, Malta and Turkey may participate without funding from Tempus.

Deadline for Funding

Projects : 1 March 2000 and 1 March 2001
Individual Mobility Grants : 3 April 2000 and 3 April 2001
