The "EMA2SA" consortium (Erasmus Mundus Action 2 for South Africa) aims at building strong multilateral and multidisciplinary relationships between universities in South Africa and Europe. Its EMA2 project connects higher education in Europe and South Africa with guarantees for collaboration and exchange leading to a broad mutual understanding. By exchanging master and doctoral students, as well as academic staff and by offering academic seminars about organisational aspects of internationalisation, this academic mobility network will enhance sustainable partnerships and synergies in the educational systems of both regions. Special focus is on Agricultural Sciences, Architecture, Urban & Regional Planning, Business Studies & Management Sciences, Education & Teacher training, Engineering & Technology, Geography & Geology, Mathematics & Informatics, Medical Sciences, Natural Sciences, Social Sciences, Communication & Information Sciences and Sustainability issues as academic fields and on the organisational aspects of internationalisation in higher education for the dissemination seminars and workshops.
