This fifth round of EU/Australia Cooperation in Higher Education and (VET) projects seek applications from consortiums of both Australian higher education and VET institutions to undertake student mobility projects between the European Union and Australia.
These projects offer the opportunity for Australian students in higher education and VET to undertake a period of study at a partner institution in the European Union.
Proposals from the VET sector are particularly encouraged. Such proposals may include work placements and/or internships as part of a study period in the EU.
Funding is also available for academics and administrative staff to visit partner institutions in the EU.
EU/Australia Cooperation in Higher Education and VET projects began in 2003 with the aim to promote understanding between the peoples of the EU and Australia and improving the quality of their human resource development.
The EU and Australia in 2007 signed a Joint Declaration on cooperation in education and training which sort to further develop this key bilateral relationship for Australia.
