About the Program

The Erasmus Mundus project ELECTRA has been launched in 2012 to foster the cooperation between the European Union and their Eastern Neighbouring countries to tackle environmental, energy and sustainable development issues through research, education and innovation.

During the academic years 2013-2016 the project awards 248 grants to students, researchers and staff for visits in partner universities. Study, research and job opportunities are available for citizens of European Union and nationals from Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarusia, Georgia and Ukraine.

On the kick-off meeting held in November 2012 all partners agreed on specific research and study fields like there are environment information management systems, resource and waste management, renewable energy, land use management and biodiversity

Study and Research

The ELECTRA partnership targets sustainable development strategies and practice in EU and ENPI countries. National and transnational objectives meet at a core set of common actions:
(i) development and implementation of clean technologies,
(ii) transition from today´s energies to renewable energies,
(iii) resource management plus energy efficiency and
(iv) healthy environments.
Most of the available mobility schemes of ELECTRA are located within these topical areas. Combined, ELECTRA offers a comprehensive research driven transnational strategy for education and training of those experts needed in the emerging labour markets of the participating countries.
