Erasmus Mundus

In 2009, IMT became a signatory to the Erasmus Mundus agreement. It is the only Indian management school to be a part of this consortium.

Erasmus Mundus is an educational initiative by the European Union. Erasmus itself is an acronym which stands for EuRopean Community Action Scheme for the Mobility of University Students. Mundus means world in Latin.

Erasmus Mundus became an official educational programme in 2004. It is supported by the European Union and encourages academic collaborations between prominent academic institutions across the globe. Unifying global academics through the common thread of education, it enables student and faculty exchange. Facilitating education further, Erasmus Mundus provides scholarships for both students and faculty.

This project has borne fruits for IMT already. Six PGDM students from IMT have been awarded scholarships to pursue an academic term at overseas partner institutions. In exchange, ten students from top European universities have been selected to pursue one or two academic terms at IMT.

Four faculty members from IMT Ghaziabad have been awarded scholarships to pursue Post Doctoral Research at various partner universities under different programmes.

Another four faculty members have been selected for an Academic Staff Exchange (Faculty Exchange) at European partner institutions in their respective fields.

Over 80 institutes participated in the prestigious IMT hosted Erasmus Mundus External Cooperation Window Summit. It was in collaboration with VUB, Belgium and was held on the Ghaziabad campus. Academicians from leading universities in Asia, Europe, Middle East and Latin America participated in this summit.
