On the 27th and 28th of May, 2024, the 20th anniversary celebrations of the Erasmus Mundus program took place at the Plaza Hotel in Brussels.
The first day highlighted the journey of the Erasmus Mundus program and focused on the successes of the last 20 years. Among the invited guests was Prof. Attila Pausits in his role as academic coordinator of MARIHE (Master in Research and Innovation in Higher Education). Together with other coordinators he discussed how Erasmus Mundus Joint Master programmes contribute to excellence, global visibility and inclusiveness. The Department for Higher Education Research at University for Continuing Education Krems was also represented with a poster and a presentation of the MARIHE program through Dr. Sina Westa in her role as course director.
The second day ventured a look into the future. In various discussion groups, the possible further developments and future scenarios of the Erasmus Mundus Joint Master program were designed and reflected upon.
The event also offered many opportunities for networking between different stakeholders and Master programs and for joint reflection on the past 20 years. A positive view of the coming decades and congratulations for the Erasmus Mundus program were also not neglected.

MARIHE Consortium would like to inform that a new grant proposal for MARIHE has been submitted to Erasmus+ (Erasmus Mundus Joint Master programmes) in February 2024. In this proposal, a new partner - the University of Aveiro, Portugal - will join the MARIHE Consortium, and Beijing Normal University/China and Thapar Institute for Engineering and Technology/India will become degree awarding partners for the first time.
If the application is successful, the next student intake with available Erasmus+/Erasmus Mundus scholarships would be in October 2025. The application period for the participation in MARIHE with Erasmus+/Erasmus Mundus scholarships for student intake 2025 would start after summer 2024 (appr. August – November 2024).
The application period for the participation in MARIHE as a self-funded student (without Erasmus Mundus scholarship) for student intake 2025 would start in spring 2025 (appr. March - May 2025).
We expect the notification regarding the success of our new proposal during July 2024. Please follow our website www.marihe.eu for current news and information.
As part of the MARIHE program, our MARIHE-8 students of the Institutional Research specialisation had the opportunity to visit University of Georgia (UGA)'s Louise McBee Institute of Higher Education in February 2024.
The week was filled with insightful discussions and memorable visits. Exploring the Delta Innovation Hub, engaging in discussions with colleagues from the Institutional Research Office, interacting with Louise McBee Institute of Higher Education's students and faculty, and with professionals from the University System of Georgia - these were truly inspiring and unforgettable experiences for our students, not to mention the vibrant campus atmosphere!
MARIHE students had a unique opportunity to explore and experience diverse higher education systems through a further international and multicultural experience that we hope will broaden and shape their perspectives in higher education and research.
Information for students interested in applying for MARIHE:
Intake 2023 is the last intake under the current funding period (application periods are closed). Whether there will be future scholarship intakes is not yet clear.
Regarding intake 2024, we plan to have an application period for self-funded students (without Erasmus Mundus scholarship).
