All Tabs for Continuous Reporting

Description

An Erasmus Mundus Joint Masters (EMJM), is an integrated, international study programme, jointly delivered by an international consortium of Higher Education Institutions.

EMJMs enroll and may award EU-funded scholarships to the best student candidates applying under annual selection rounds. The studies must take place in minimum two countries, of which at least one must be an EU member state or a country associated to the Programme. 

An EMJM is a study programme of 60, 90 or 120 ECTS credits. This means that it lasts from a minimum of 12 months, to a maximum of 24 months.

Students cannot benefit from another EU-funded scholarship scheme while receiving an EMJM scholarship.

In the context of the EMJM unit grants, the system manages the study/ of students enrolled in an EMJM (scholarship and non-scholarship holders).

Student/Mobility periods

  • Erasmus Mundus Joint Masters are international integrated study programmes at Master’s level. Therefore, the enrolled students (scholarship and non-scholarship holders) study in different HEIs worldwide. The participant organisations that are involved can play two different roles:
      • They can be the institution (full partners) where the student is enrolled and which awards ECTS, the so-called “Sending Organisation”.
      • They can be the institution, which hosts physically the student, namely the so-called “Destination Organisation”. They can be one of the Beneficiaries participating in the Project or an Associated Partner or any other organisation (e.g. a company providing traineeship opportunities).
      • Depending on the situation, the Sending and Destination Organisations can be the same or different.
      • The Mobility Declaration is submitted . 

The Mobility tab in the continuous reporting manages the:

  • Students' personal information (Student library)
  • Mobility declarations

The mobility declaration is part of both continuous and periodic reporting.

Note that the Project Officers do not ‘accept’ or ‘reject’ the Mobility Declaration: they can only reopen it (the consortium can't reopen a submitted declaration). See "Important note" below for more information.  

Source Document 

The Model Grant Agreement for ERASMUS+ Unit Grants specifies that the mobility declaration should be encoded in the Portal Continuous Reporting and regularly updated. 

Who can edit and submit mobility declarations

The Primary Coordinator Contact/Coordinator Contact can save/edit/delete/submit all mobility declarations for the coordinator and any beneficiary organisation involved in the project. The Participant Contact of the Sending Organisation can save/edit/delete/submit mobility declaration for its organisation.

Important note

If the technical part or the financial statement of the Final Periodic Report is locked, changes to the mobility declaration will no longer be possible!

Also, if the Final Periodic Report is open for the current project and the Financial Statement for the Coordinator or the Technical Part are not in draft anymore, then a Mobility Declaration: 

  • can't be submitted
  • can't be reopened by the Project Officer 
  • can't be updated 

student in the Project Student Library can't be reopened by the Project Officer if any of the Mobility Declarations linked to this student can't be reopened.

Relevant screens in the Participant Portal Grant Management Services

The Mobility tab is divided in three different parts:

  1. the Master duration: here you must add the duration of the project (master programme) in month before encoding any students
  2. Student library: here you can add the selected students (scholarship and non-scholarship holders)
  3. Mobility declaration: here you can add the mobility declarations for the enrolled students (scholarship and non-scholarship holders) 

The Student and Mobility data can be downloaded as an Excel file by clicking on the Excel document sign.


TitleActions 

1.Duration of the Master

This field is editable only by the Coordinator of project and can be edited up to the moment the first student is saved in the Student Library.

This is therefore the very first data you need to encode.

Editing the Master duration

  • Choose from the drop-down list the Master duration

  • Click Save 

2.Student Library

The student library contains the personal information about the student and states whether a mobility declaration has already been submitted or not (regardless the status of the Mobility Declaration).

The same student can be assigned to different study periods in the context of the same project (master programme).

The personal data of a student can only be modified if no Mobility Declaration has been submitted.

In order to avoid re-entering multiple times the personal information about the same person, a Student Library has been implemented with the information about the students who have taken part in the project (master programme).
