EMAP 2 - Erasmus Mundus Active Participation is a common project of Erasmus Mundus National Structures which aims to enhance the participation of higher education institutions from countries which so far have been less well represented in the Erasmus Mundus Action 1. In order to achieve this aim the project partners identify and select consortia of higher education institutions as potential applicants for new Erasmus Mundus Joint Programmes, and organize training seminars in order to help them to prepare good quality applications. The project also intends to contribute to the capacity building and networking of participating Erasmus Mundus National Structures. For this purpose the partners organise training sessions for participating Erasmus Mundus National Structures as building capacity events focused on issues of common interest. The main project outcomes, such as training and guidance material from the EMAP events, are shared with broader audience via this project website. The success of the project is measured on the basis of the quantity and quality of the Erasmus Mundus Action 1 applications submitted by the consortia trained within the framework of the EMAP project.
