The European Commission has announced the selection of 38 new Erasmus Mundus joint master degree programmes. These new programmes cover a wide range of areas, including the chemical sciences. Together they involve 186 partner universities and almost 600 associate organisations, also representing the world of work, from 84 different countries. These and other Erasmus Mundus programmes will be offering EU-funded scholarships to students from all over the world to start a master programme in autumn 2018.
