If you would like to promote an Erasmus Mundus Joint Masters (EMJM) in your country or region, then please contact outreach@em-a.eu.

​

The OCB Unit has two sub-units: 

  1. Outreach, formed by the EMA Country Representatives (CRs) 

  2. Capacity Building

Outreach Sub-Unit

The Outreach sub-unit is composed by the EMA’s Country Representatives (CRs). It aims to strengthen EMAs presence across the world, building an international network of students and alumni, spreading Erasmus Mundus information and promoting Erasmus Mundus (EMJM) across the globe. 

​

Country Representatives

Country Representatives (CRs) are one of the four pillars of EMA. EMAs Country Representatives (CRs) serve as the main point of contact between EMA and Erasmus Mundus prospects, alumni and students coming from the country they represent. The CR network (CRNet) is an international team of motivated and proactive volunteers passionate about spreading the word about EMA and EMJM across the globe. In this way, they aim to support prospective students and connect students and alumni during and after their Erasmus Mundus experience.   

 

The outreach sub-unit and the EMA CRs is led by the Country Representative Network Coodinator (CR Net Coordinator). The current CR Net Coordinator is Ana Janjusevic and can be reached at crnet@em-a.eu.

The Capacity Building & Professional Development subunit is in charge of creating training opportunities for the professional development of EMA members so that they can have a local or global impact after their Erasmus Mundus experience.

​
