Triple I - Integration,
Interaction and Institutions
The Erasmus Mundus External Cooperation Window
(EMECW) is a cooperation and mobility scheme in the area of higher education
cooperation funded by the European Union. The EMECW objective is to promote the
exchange of persons, knowledge and skills at higher education level.
The Triple I - Integration, Interaction
and Institutions
is a consortium of nine European and ten Russian universities. The Consortium
is coordinated by the University
of Turku. Triple I mobility
scheme awards grants to students and staff of Russian and European Partner
Universities, but also to
Russian nationals not linked with the Partner Universities.
The objective of the Triple I Project is
to create an active network of Russian and European universities who cooperate
multidisciplinarily and multilaterally and promote innovation through joint
research, education, and exchange of experience and good practises. In
particular, the Triple I mobility scheme forms new connections and
links between partner universities and increases their capacity for
international and interdisciplinary cooperation. Triple I also
contributes to better recognition of studies through ECTS system.
