2. Programme was introduced by the Commission in the 1976/77
academic year pursuant the first Action Programme in the field of
education, adopted by the Council and the Ministers of Education
in 1976.

3. The grants are intended to foster the lasting cooperation between
institutions of higher education from different Member States
with a view to the joint development of courses of study or parts
of such courses.

4. The aim is:
- students are to spend a recognised, integrated and
considerable part of their course in at least one of the
partner institutions in another Member State, and/or
- parts of regular courses in each institution are to be
taught by staff members from at least one institution from
another Member State, and/or
- courses or parts of courses are to be jointly planned for
introduction into the regular programmes at all the
participating institutions, even where no staff or student
mobility is involved.
TOGETHER

5. JOINT DOCTORAL STUDIES
To promote international, intersectoral and multi/inter-disciplinary
collaboration in doctoral-level training in Europe through the
creation of joint doctoral programmes, leading to the delivery of
joint, double or multiple doctoral degrees

6. Joint Doctorate - early stage researchers will pursue a doctoral
degree awarded by at least two higher education institutions, who
share the responsibilities of supervising, coordinating and examining
a researcher's work.

7. Co-tutelle
is an agreement on joint supervision on the doctoral degree level. The programme originated in France, hence the term cotutelle (as in co-tutoring). Such agreements can be entered into between the two cooperating institutions, the PhD candidate and the candidate's supervisors. The cotutelle agreement regulates enrolment, supervision and the evaluation of the candidate's doctoral degree dissertation. A cotutelle agreement must always be entered into on the individual level, but institutional agreements can also be made on cotutelle cooperation. The candidate receives a diploma from each of the institutions.

8. higher education institutions offering an integrated
Joint degree: a single diploma issued by at least two
higher education institutions offering an integrated
programme and recognised officially in the countries

diplomas issued by two or more higher education institutions and
