The specific objectives of the project are: a) to develop a fully integrated curriculum offered by the universities involved, leading to a joint/multiple degree, including compulsory physical mobility for all recruited students, and aiming at recruiting excellent students worldwide; b) to develop a normative and procedural framework for the implementation of the programme, such as student selection and mobility policy, admission requirements, performance evaluation, scholarship and fee policy, joint financial management, staff mobility; c) to develop a system capable of promoting excellence and equal opportunities for students; d) to create tools to ensure the international worldwide promotion of the future EMJM; e) to prepare a draft partnership agreement of the consortium of the future EMJM, ensuring the commitment and support of all partners, f) to prepare a draft students agreement. The team members involved will work in close partnership in order to discuss project developments on an ongoing basis. There will also be physical mobility of team members who will travel to the other partner universities to define aspects of the project.
