The type of mobility to be funded are:
- For students: undergraduate, master, doctorate and post-doctorate mobility opportunities

This project is to give South-East
Asian students and staff the possibility to go to a European University
to improve, enrich, learn, experience, .... their own knowledge and
skills. Please bear in mind that the scholarships are only granted to South-East Asian students and staff coming to Europe.
To enable students to benefit in a linguistic, cultural and educational way from the experience of pursuing academic studies in another country, all students should have a thorough command of English (this can only be proven by means of internationally recognized documents, p.e. IELTS certificate, TOEFL, First Certificate of Cambridge, an English diploma, a Degree obtained in English). Please note, however, that this also depends on the language requirements of the host universities within the Lotus project.
The Erasmus Mundus Action Two Partnership programme is a cooperation and mobility scheme in the area of higher education launched by Europe Aid Cooperation Office and implemented by the Executive Agency Education, Audiovisual and Culture (EACEA). The European Commission has launched this initiative to foster cooperation between higher education institutions. It aims to boost exchanges of students, researchers and academic staff and to support mobility, in particular from non-EU countries to EU member states.

between the European Union and Third Countries in the field of higher
education through promoting the exchange of persons, knowledge and
