Great success in Erasmus+: TU Dresden obtains funding for Erasmus Mundus Joint Master
Great joy at the Institute of International Law, Intellectual Property and Technology Law at TU Dresden: Prof. Anne Lauber-Rönsberg's team has succeeded in acquiring Erasmus+ funding in the renowned Erasmus Mundus Joint Master program line with TU Dresden as the coordinating institution.
The aim of the Erasmus Mundus Joint Master (EMJM) funding line is to promote transnational study programs at Master's level that are carried out by an international consortium of higher education institutions. The funded degree programs are Excellence Programs and contribute to the integration and internationalization of the European Higher Education Area (EHEA). The special feature of the EMJM is the high degree of interconnection between the participating institutions and the excellence of its academic content. Prof. Lauber-Rönsberg's team was able to score points with its "Master in Intellectual Property and Data Law (MIPDaL)" proposal and is looking forward to working closely with the participating partner organizations:
- Université de Strasbourg, Center d'études internationales de la propriété intellectuelle (CEIPI), France
- Tallinn University of Technology (TalTech), Estonia
- Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, Spain
- Queen Mary University London, UK
- University of Exeter, UK.
"This is an outstanding success for us," says Prof. Anne-Lauber-Rönsberg, who holds the Chair of Civil Law, Intellectual Property, Media and Data Protection Law, and who is the project manager of MIPDaL. "The work of the past few years, in particular the many detailed consultations with the partners on study organization issues, has been rewarded. We are immensely looking forward to the start of the program and the close cooperation with our international colleagues!"
If everything goes according to plan, the first students will be enrolled on the one-year Master's degree in the winter semester of 2025/2026. The EU funding for the degree program amounts to EUR 1,968,000 and is set to run for 74 months. What is particularly noteworthy about the funding is that a contingent of scholarships is available for outstanding students from all over the world. The aim is to attract talented students to Europe and TU Dresden: "The program will hopefully further increase TU Dresden's international visibility and make Dresden even more attractive as a place to study," says Prof. Lauber-Rönsberg.
The International Office is also full of praise: "This really is a fantastic success! The cooperation between the Chair, the International Office and the European Project Center worked wonderfully during the many years of preparation for the application. It's all the better that the work was crowned with success," says Peter Rosenbaum, Head of the International Office. "We hope that this was just the starting signal and that we will be able to place further excellent study programs within the framework of EMJM funding. The call for proposals is issued annually in the fall - TU Dresden researchers are welcome to contact us with their ideas."
