European Decision Makers Called to Arm All Citizens With the Tools to Compete in the Digital Age in New Book 'The e-Skills Manifesto - A Call to Arms' Launched at the European Business Summit in Brussels.
The one-year project is intended to “cluster” master courses as well as attractiveness projects with an Asian focus funded under the ERASMUS Mundus I scheme.
Within this period it is expected to carry out a survey among selected Erasmus Mundus Masters Courses (EMMC) and Attractiveness Projects (AP). This should lead to an inventory of regionally focussed activities carried out by the projects in question. In addition a workshop is supposed to take place where representatives of the respective courses and projects will present good practice examples of their strategies related to topics such as sustainability of EMMC, employability of Erasmus Mundus students and alumni, promotion activities, education/industry
cooperation, research cooperation and "brain circulation". Finally it is envisaged to produce a set of practical guidelines for EMMC and APs,
designed for easy use by co-ordinators and partners and to develop a dedicated thematic section on "Regional Clusters" on the "Erasmus
Mundus Excellence" website.

WIth a Kick Off event in Jamaica, connected to Brussels through videoconference, the EUCARINET project started in April 2010.
The project is a four-year INCONET Coordination Action whose main goal is to strengthen bi-regional sustainable policy dialogue on Science and Technology (including in the ICT field) between EU Member and Associated States and the Caribbean Region, the Caribbean ACP countries, the overseas departments, and the Overseas Countries and Territories (OCTs). The consortium will run under the coordination of APRE with the following partners: CERCAL, MENON, CIRAD, EGL, UAB, COMSEC, CARICOM, UWI, UAG, UNIBE, CITMA, UNA. It will cover the whole Caribbean, with partners in Italy, Belgium, France, Netherlands, Spain, United Kingdom, Guyana, Jamaica, Guadeloupe, Dominican Republic, Cuba, and Netherlands Antilles.
The main goal of the project is to establish a long lasting sustainable bi-regional multi-stakeholders policy dialogue on S&T at policy, programme and institutional (research entities) level.
For reaching this purpose, EUCARINET will take advantage, among others, of the services and the experience made in WINDS-Caribe.
