UPSA And ERMIT Scholarship 2016
ABOUT THE ERMIT PROJECT
The project ERMIT “Entreprenariat, Ressources, Management, Innovation et
Technologies” is a cooperation and mobility programme in the area of Higher
Education, implemented by the Education, Audiovisual and Culture Executive Agency
(EACEA) of the European Union (EU).
The project is designed to facilitate the movement of Masters and PhD students
and staff between selected national universities in the African sub-regions as a
me a n s o f b u i l d i n g c a p a c i t i e s a n d
encouraging socioeconomic development in each region.
The project focuses on postgraduate education and research as a means of
strategic capacity development by making available a wide variety of postgraduate
