The European Union-New Zealand exchange programme (also known as the European Union-New Zealand Industrialised Countries Instrument Joint Mobility Project) supports academic and student exchanges of up to 30 New Zealanders and 30 Europeans to study abroad for between five and 10 months. It is accessed by a limited number of universities and ITPs.
Proposals from New Zealand TEOs[1] were accepted up until 6 June 2008 and the exchanges began in 2009. Funding of $600,000 ends in 2012 when the programme ends.
The European Commission contributes a similar amount of funding as the New Zealand government.
Applicants for funding were required to complete and submit a funding proposal.
Funding is allocated outside of the Investment Plan process, through a Funding Agreement, and the delivery of activities is monitored by us.
Any TEO that receives funding must abide by a number of rules and conditions.
Access to European Union-New Zealand exchange programme funding will be considered in accordance with government policy, (as directed by the Minister’s determination under section 159L of the Education Act 1989), the Tertiary Education Strategy, and in response to performance against the TEO’s Investment Plan.
