The Erasmus Mundus External Window programme for Regional Asia, called 'EMMA', provides funding opportunities for students, researchers and academic staff to take part in 'mobilities' between the target group countries (Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Cambodia, China, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Maldives, Myanmar/Burma, Nepal, North Korea, Pakistan, Philippines, Sri Lanka, Thailand) and the EU.

In general, the programme offers study scholarships for above-mentioned nationals to attend courses, at Bachelor and Master level, pursue PhDs, Post Doctoral research and to facilitate academic staff exchange.

The project consortium comprises a set of partners in Regional Asia and within the European Union -- of which the International Institute for Geo-Information Science and Earth Observation (ITC, The Netherlands) is one.
