The Erasmus Mundus Masters Program in Public Policy (Mundus MAPP) is seeking outstanding third-country scholars who are interested in contributing to the study program and strengthening academic partnerships with the Consortium.

Selected academics are hosted for a period of minimum of two weeks and maximum of three months in one of the Consortium's institutions. In addition to conducting research in one of the disciplines Mundus MAPP draws on, they are required to teach or develop elements of the Mundus MAPP program (e.g., independently offer or contribute to courses, supervise thesis projects of Mundus MAPP students, develop and teach in the Mundus MAPP summer school.) After ending their visiting scholar activities, visiting scholars are expected to contribute to the promotion and dissemination of the Erasmus Mundus Programme in general, and Mundus MAPP in particular, in their higher their higher education institution and country of origin.

Interested academics are invited to elaborate on their proposed contribution to Mundus MAPP in their application form. The exact form of contribution is determined by a contract between the visiting scholar and the Mundus MAPP Consortium.

The European Commission supports academics contributing to Mundus MAPP by special scholarships under the Erasmus Mundus Programme. The Consortium selects, and forwards to the European Commission for approval, a number of scholars each year. Academic visits may start as early as September 2012, and continue during the 2012-2013 academic year, but should take place during teaching terms.
