The EMJM aims to enhance the attractiveness and excellence of European higher education in the world and attract talent to Europe, through a combination of:

(i). institutional academic cooperation to showcase European excellence in higher education, and

(ii). individual mobility for all students taking part in the EMJM, with EU-funded scholarships for the best students applying.
