CASEE: Possibilities for EU funding of Educational Projects ?

Philippe Ruffio - EACEA Brussels

2

Various objectives and ambitions:

- To promote and support EU internal policies in the field of education

- To support EU external policies

The EU offers a great diversity of funding possibilities and programmes in the field of Education

3

The EU has no direct competence in the field of Education. Direct responsibility lies in the hands of MS.

EU acts as a catalyser / facilitator(« soft power »)

- formulates recommendations and policy action lines- promotes Policy Dialogue among MS - encourages exchange of experience and good practice- financially supports new projects and initiatives

1 - Promoting and supporting EU internal policies such as:- Lisbon Agenda, Knowledge Society, Life Long Learning

- HE Modernisation Agenda and Bologna Process

4

2 - Supporting EU external policies, in particular:

- External dimension of internal policies in Education: disseminate worldwide EU concepts, tools,

approaches and achievements (ex: voluntary convergence with Bologna process)

- EU accession policy

- Neighbourhood policy

- Development policies

5

No opportunistic approach but rather a targeted approach based upon well defined ambitions / strategies / projects.

Select the appropriate tool(s) / programme (s) depending on the needs and charateristics of these ambitions / strategies / projects

6 basic criteria for selecting EU tools and programmes:

- Target countries (beneficiaries ?): EU / Third countries- Type of beneficiaries: individuals, institutions- Level of education concerned: HE or other types of education

(adult, vocational, etc.)- Educational and scientific fields concerned: targeted vs

multipurpose programmes + priorities- Objectives: mobility / cooperation / capacity building

(transfer)- Type of funding mechanism: actual level of funding, % of

funding, real costs / lump sums, etc.

How to deal with this diversity of funding possibilities?

6

- Erasmus (LLP)- Erasmus Mundus- Jean Monnet (LLP)- Tempus- Others:

- Grundvig (LLP)- Leonardo da Vinci (LLP)

Which possibilities in the current context for CASEE?
