A seminar on the European Union higher education scholarship program (Erasmus Mundus) will be held on 31 October from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. at the SLAAS Auditorium, Colombo 7.
This event is being organised by the European Union Delegation in collaboration with the Sri Lankan Academy of Young Scientists.
The Erasmus Mundus program offers scholarships and fellowships to students, researchers and university staff to carry out study at bachelors, masters, doctoral or post-doctoral levels in a pool of top quality European universities.
The program offers assistance in the form of an integrated package, covering visas, travel and insurance costs as well as substantial allowances, ranging from Rs. 170,000 to Rs. 500,000 a month.
Since the start of the program in 2004, 142 Sri Lankan students, researchers and staff have already benefited from the program with the award of Erasmus Mundus scholarships, fellowships and other short term assignments. This EU program comes in addition to other mobility programs sponsored by single EU Members States, making the EU one of the biggest contributors of higher education scholarships in the world.
