Basileus project

SPARK wishes to announce a student mobility opportunity of a European funded programme in which we are a partner. As you applied for one of our SEE summer schools, you receive this information through us.
The Basileus project is a cooperation and mobility project which is funded by the Erasmus Mundus External Cooperation Window programme of the European Commission.
This project offers mobility scholarships for exchanges between the EU and the Western Balkans.

The mobility opportunities are limited to the 8 EU universities who are a partner in the Basileus project: Ghent University, University of Nice Sophia Antipolis, Lund University,
University of Roma La Sapienza, University of Ljubljana, Sofia St. Kliment Ohridski University, University of Zagreb and University of Heidelberg.

Students from following universities can apply as Target Group 1 for scholarships at all levels (Bachelor, Master, PhD, post-doctorate and staff): Fan S. Noli University Korce, University of Skhodra, University of Sarajevo, Ss. Cyril and Methodius Skopje, University St. Kliment Ohridski Bitola, South East European University Tetovo, University of Prishtina, University of Montenegro, University of Belgrade, University of Kragujevac, University of Nis, University of Novi Sad.

Students from other universities can apply as Target Group 2 students at Master (exchange or full degree) and Post-Doctorate level.
Applications are done online on www.basileus.ugent.be before 15 March 2009. Depending on the number of applications, more deadlines could follow for next academic year.
Selected candidates can start their mobility period from August 2009 onwards and before 1 April 2010.

We would also like to draw your attention to the fact that a number of scholarships are reserved for a special category called Target Group 3: Western Balkan nationals who
are in a particularly vulnerable situation due to political or economical reasons or because of physical disabilities: eg. refugee status, asylum beneficiaries, indigenous population or IDP.
These students can apply for exchange as a Bachelor student (6 or 10 months) or as a Master student (6 or 10 months) or for a full degree as Master for 1 or 2 years.
