ARURCOHE Consortium · Italy

CCD-STeDe links climate-change science with sustainable territorial development across a consortium spanning Italy, Ecuador, Portugal, Burkina Faso and South Africa. The first call for the 2026/2027 academic year closed on 15 February 2026, and the next round is expected on a similar February timeline.
EESIC trains environmental engineers for sustainability challenges with an international-cooperation lens, jointly managed by a consortium anchored in Trento. For the 2027-2029 intake applications are already open, with deadlines of 30 June 2027 (non-EU) and 31 July 2027 (EU) — much later than most Erasmus Mundus rounds.
