Erasmus Mundus - Al Idrisi is a European project that provides scholarships for undergraduates, master and doctoral students, post-doctoral fellows, academic and administrative staff. The grants are financed by the European Commission and include a monthly subsistence allowance, travel expenses, insurance costs and tuition fees if applicable.

• Only mobility flows between Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia on the one side and the European Partner universities on the other side are eligible for funding.

Al-Idrisi establishes an active institution-based mobility network among 3 Algerian, 4 Moroccan and 3 Tunisian universities on the one side and 10 European partners on the other. The project will allow undergraduate, master and doctoral students, post-doctoral fellows and academic and administrative staff to gain valuable experience, knowledge and contacts abroad.

Some Maghrebian students will even have the possibility to return to their home countries holding a relevant master or doctoral degree. The project focuses strongly on regional needs in the Maghreb and the development of specific and relevant areas that will be defined by the partners. Furthermore, the project will provide improved education and training opportunities for vulnerable groups and socio- economically disadvantaged students and promote equal access to higher education for students from less developed areas.
