18 Scholarships available  for urban studies in Germany, Italy, France and
Spain.

The Erasmus Mundus Program offers scholarships to non-European students and
scholars to  participate in the interdisciplinary Advanced Master's Course 
in
International Co-operation and Urban  Development. The English taught 
program
is jointly offered by the Technische  Universität Darmstadt (Germany), the
Università Tor Vergata in Rome, the  Universitat Internacional de Catalunya 
in
Barcelona and the Université Pierre  Mendés France in Grenoble and leads to 
a
double degree. Applicants for student  scholarships (value ¤ 42.000,- over 
two
years each) should have concluded  previous studies of a minimum of 4 years
with excellent results in a career  related to urban development and have
professional working experience of a  minimum of one year. Scholars from
outside Europe may apply for  short term bursaries (¤4000,- per month) to
teach and conduct research at one of  the above mentioned  universities. In 
both
cases the deadline for applications is  January 15th, 2008 for the 2008-2010
cycle. Further information: http://www.mundus-urbano.eu .
