Complete Application Procedure
How to set up a successful EMMA application and Mobility Project
Passed experience has shown that most applications who could not be selected were mostly because candidates did not prepare carefully their Mobility Project. This led to big waist of time (and disappointment) of good candidates who applied for something that was not available or for what they were not eligible. This is why we will impose to candidates to first set up their Mobility Project (MP), and will only later-on ask to provide their personal data and required scanned documents (the candidate should anyway begin to collect all these documents in order to be able to provide them easily in the second step).
7th November: publication on Emmasia of this complete application procedure and scholarship/grant application form, including list of documents to be provided and description of rules and recommendation for setting up one’s Mobility Project.
7th November – 7th December: the candidates prepare carefully their mobility projects (contact with home and host universities) and check for the teaching language: this is seldom English. So it is strongly recommended to seek for solution for candidates to get intensive training before departure: this solution will be described in the motivation letter and will be evaluated during the selection process; if the candidate is selected (s)he may get financial support for getting trained before leaving home institution.
7th December: opening of candidates registration and access to upload of personal data, documents and selection of recommended EMP or possibly candidate personal-MP. Publication of a list of recommended Emma Mobility Projects (EMP).
Tuesday 10th January 2012: closure of all applications.
We strongly recommend to any candidate to use the period prior to opening of MP-DataBase to get fully familiar with all rules of EMMA scholarships and grants, and with eligible teaching and research available at EU partner host universities: from 28th November you may upload your MP.
Students MP: Degree-seeking or Exchange?
EMMA is a mobility programme: its purpose is to allow beneficiaries to discover the EU higher education system at one host (EU) partner university, through a long or short term mobility. Most scholarship will go to short term (Exchange) mobility: 6 months (Undergraduate: U6), 6 or 11 months (Master: M6, M11), 10 months (Doctorate: D10). The credits acquired at host university have to be recognized at home university where the beneficiary stays enrolled: this requires that home university accepts the MP, so it is important that you check with your home university if they can accept it. For obvious reasons such scholarship can go only to students already enrolled at some partner university.
Some scholarship will go to long term (Degree-seeking) mobility: 22months (Master: M22), 34 months (Undergraduate U34 (for VG only), Doctorate D34): most of them go to students not enrolled at any partner university.
EMMA wishes to help students belonging to a recognized vulnerable group by proving full Undergraduate (U34) or Master (M22) education. This requires that you can provide evidences that you belong to such a group.
EMMA wishes to encourage physically disabled people to take part to its mobility programme. If you have to face such a physical handicap, please describe to specify help you would need so that we can seek solutions.
For setting up your on-line application form, you will need to up-load electronic copies of various documents that we urge you to collect ASAP so that you will not, later on, face any delay. Here a list of those documents; some (few) of them may not be necessary for some mobility types.

General recommendation for student application:
Language: all EMMA EU partner universities are in non-english speaking countries and teach mainly in the country’s national language. So your mobility will lead you to discover one of the main cultural aspect of the country, namely with its language. So the first way to optimise your chances to be selected is to explain in your motivation letter how you will prepare from now on to face the challenge of discovering a new language. If there is a way at your home university or in your city to learn this language, please explain in your in your letter; if you are selected EMMA may take in charge your language training costs.
Credit recognition: most student scholarships will go to non-degree seeking candidates. This means that the teaching credit earned at EU host university will have to be recognized by your Asian home university: it is your duty to make sure that your university can recognize these credits this is why you have to contact your teaching team at your home university to check if they can recognize these credits. The level of the rating of your application will strongly depend of this possibility. So the best way to optimise your chances to be selected (or, at least, not to waste your chances) is to prepare your application with your teaching team: provide full detail in your motivation letter of people you have contacted, what advise they gave you, and how we can contact them (email and/or phone)

This is mainly non-degree seeking mobility, so take seriously into account recommendation on credit recognition.
In some case you may apply to enter in second year of a two academic years EU Master programme. In this case this mobility becomes degree seeking
For Degree-Seeking mobilities the admission requirements of the receiving (host, EU) university must be met: please check. Even if your application is selected by EMMA you will get your scholarship only if your application at host university is accepted.

D34: Requirements: ID CV [Photo] TR [handicap] ML RL DS
The main challenge here is to find a host-supervisor, so we require a letter (or email) of some scholar from a doctoral school of the host partner university stating that (s)he would accept to supervise the doctoral work (DS). This is a Degree-Seeking mobility so admission requirements of the receiving university must be met. As such, this type of scholarship will go to subjects where there is a lack of local doctorate programs in a partner university of the country and thus no possibility of D10 mobility.
D10: Requirements: ID CV [Photo] TR [handicap] ML RL DS
Sometimes called “sandwich programme”.
This duration is usually enough to complete a major part of the thesis (including a publication) while assuring that a drain to Europe during the doctorate is not encouraged. Here the candidate should seek help from his/her home advisor to find a laboratory at some EPU accepting to host the beneficiary with excellent chances of success of the research done. So we require a letter preferably from host laboratory and/or host supervisor, or from home advisor (DS).
It will be necessary, just after selection, to set up a Doctoral Agreement (DA). The DA specifies the host laboratory and the thesis advisor, and home-advisor in the case of "exchange student”.

EMMA Postdoctoral 6 months grants will
mainly go to staff of Asian Partner Universities. It can be research stay in some laboratory of an
EU partner university to fulfil a research programme decided in accordance with
the laboratory’s objectives. It can also be a Teaching and Research postdocs.
Such a T&R postdoc will include both research and teaching.
While research postdocs Mobility Project mainly consist of a description of the
research field which the candidate should fit in, the T&R postdoc Mobility
Project is allowed to be combination of a general research field and a teaching
subject. It has to correspond to the need to be trained to teaching that
subject to e.g. undergraduate students. The European partner agrees to accept a
candidate in the general research field and to help the beneficiary to develop
a lecture on the teaching subject. This usually could involve the
transformation of a lecture given regularly by the European lecturer to the
needs and aims of the Asian university. The postdoc beneficiary will do this
transformation during his stay in Europe, preparing lesson-by-lesson lecture
notes from a state-of-the-art lecture on the topic selected and specifically
aimed at the demands of the home university. As these postdoc MPs only ask for
a general research topic fit between the host lecturer and the postdoc, the
research part of the visit will mainly be to extend his work done so far by the
postdoc under the general guidance of the host lecturer. The lecture notes of
such postdoc will be published by the consortium in a suitable fashion to
give all other partners access to this work.

Staff 1 month mobility is only for Staff members of an Asian Partner University. It is essential that the candidate sets up a project, preferably but not necessarily with some department of the wished host university. This Project must provide a description, in a maximum of 2 pages, of the planned activity, before and during the visit in Europe, more particularly explaining how relevant this visit is to the objectives of the Emma programme. It should preferably give a week per week working programme, that may be later-on be improved. If selected it will further be worked out with the hosting LOB.
Objectives of the Emma programme:
- provide academic staff with opportunities for
professional and personal development
- encourage both universities to broaden and enrich the
range and content of courses they offer
- allow students to benefit from the knowledge and
expertise of academic staff from universities in participating in the
partnership
- consolidate links between both institutions and
strengthen the capacity for international cooperation
- promote exchange of expertise and experience on
pedagogical methods
- prepare future regular exchanges of students and long-term recognition of studies between both institutions.
