Through the cooperation with two old EU member states universities, European values will be empowered in the Czech Republic and Lithuania. Moreover, ERASMUS Mundus underrepresented countries will be supported. The outcome of the project will be the development of a Joint Master and initiation of the accreditation procedure in all countries.
