EUDIME APPLICATION FORM

First Edition (academic year 2011-2012)

The Erasmus Mundus Doctorate in Membrane Engineering (EUDIME) is supported by the Erasmus Mundus programme of the European Union. A number of Erasmus Mundus (EM) fellowships - as an indication, for the first edition this number will be probably 9 - are offered to best selected candidates. The Consortium will make all possible efforts to provide additional no-EM fellowships. Candidates should be aware that the number of fellowships is limited; therefore, candidates may be admitted to the EUDIME Doctorate even while they are not selected for an Erasmus Mundus fellowship.
