JOIMAN project

Joiman is not a project of ECA, but is a European Commission funded  LLP project focusing on Erasmus Mundus programmes.  

Joiman aims at providing a platform in which an experienced group of partners could share knowledge and know how on the solutions found for the problems faced during the first stage of the Erasmus Mundus Programme.
