ACTION 2 - Erasmus Mundusscholarships: in order to give the Erasmus Mundus Masters Coursesselected under Action 1 a strong external projection, a scholarshipscheme for third-country graduate students and scholars from the wholeworld is linked to them. This scholarship scheme addresses highlyqualified individuals who come to Europe to follow the Erasmus MundusMasters Courses or to work for them.

ACTION 3 - Partnerships:in order to encourage European universities to open themselves up tothe world and to reinforce their world-wide presence, Erasmus MundusMasters Courses selected under Action 1 also have the possibility ofestablishing partnerships with third-country higher educationinstitutions. These partnerships allow for outgoing mobility ofgraduate EU students and scholars involved in the Erasmus MundusMasters Courses.
