Erasmus Mundus Mobility Programme Major Mobility Programme funded by the EU

Programmes for different Geographic Regions (lots)

Consortia formed with ±10 European and ± 10 Regional Partners

Scholars from partners have priority – but others (may be) accepted

In 2008 & 2009 was programme specifically for India

Currently no India Programme but Regional Asia Programme

Page 25: ENSCHEDE THE NETHERLANDS

Erasmus Mundus Programme Facilities Provides funding for mobility periods in Europe

Different Mobility types:

1. Bachelors / Undergraduate

2. Masters

3. Doctorate

4. Post Doctorate

5. Visiting Academic Staff

Regional Asia Programme only Asia to EU (other programmes two way)

RESEARCH AT ITC

PhD Programme

Visiting Scientist Programme

Joint Research Programme

Page 29: ENSCHEDE THE NETHERLANDS

Economic Factors

Full time residential courses in Europe often unaffordable to foreign students

Cost of living often key factor Mid career professionals often wish to upgrade but

unable to spend long periods away from work

Possible solutions:•Distance Education •Educational partnerships• Joint Education

Programmes

Page 30: ENSCHEDE THE NETHERLANDS

Distance Education

Several modules of their Postgraduate diploma and MSc degree courses as Distance courses.

Study load of 20 to 24 hours : 5 ECTS

Task-based learning blends theory & practice

Gives some exemptions from residential courses

Fee reduction for OECD citizens and residents

Fellowships available through NFP

Page 31: ENSCHEDE THE NETHERLANDS

In the framework of institutional development

To address the increasing demand for flexibility in academic degree courses

With research partners who contribute complementary scientific expertise

Geographical Information Management and Applications (GIMA):

EDUCATION PARTNERSHIPS

33

Page 34: ENSCHEDE THE NETHERLANDS

ITC has entered into partnership with reputable qualified educational organisations in many countries

Target 2010:

20 locations

350 students / 3,500 student months

JOINT COURSES

Page 35: ENSCHEDE THE NETHERLANDS

Joint Course Structures

Three programme construction variations

Taught fully at partner location

Commence with partner, period in ITC, finish with partner

Commence with partner, end at ITC

Indian Institute for Remote Sensing - IIRS Under National Remote Sensing Centre, Department

of Space, Govt. of India, Situated in Dehra Dun

Premier training and educational institute set up for developing trained professionals

Evolved from Indian Photo-Interpretation Institute

Collaborated with ITC since inception in 1966

Page 37: ENSCHEDE THE NETHERLANDS

The Main Function of the Institute

Capacity building through technology transfer among

user community,

Education at post-graduate level in the application of

RS & Geoinformatics for Natural Resources

Management

Promotion of research in RS & Geoinformatics.

Provides value-added services in natural resources

management, remote sensing, GIS and GPS

technology.

Joint Education Strategy ITC/IIRS ITC educational scheme for Master of Science Programme is based on

‘blocks and modules’

IIRS curriculum was broadly similar and syllabi ‘converged’ (although originally with different timing)

Period at ITC to be minimized with only essential advance topics covered

Timing of courses later fully converged.

Joint responsibility for quality control.

ITC staff visit IIRS for teaching, research and collaboration.

Future Ahead ….

Geo Design is a new an up-coming field

Specialized field with emphasis on architectural

planning and landscape studies

A few of the Geo Design topics are part of curriculum

at IIRS and ITC

Still evolving – to be part of regular programme.

Page 49: ENSCHEDE THE NETHERLANDS

Conclusions

ITC and IIRS have experienced long and fruitful relationship

Many academic and research fields of mutual interest

Good staff exchange and collaboration

Joint ITC/IIRS MSc is cost effective route for providing high

quality Indian MSc with European ‘flavour’.

European Union keen to enhance educational links and credit

transfer between India and EU.
