of Consortium of European Union's Erasmus Mundus Europe Asia project.
The
consortium is coordinated by Pro-Vice Chancellor KU, Dr Shahana Urooj

participation in the said project which was approved by the European
Union after going through the required procedure of examining the
expertise of research and research facilitators in the university. It is
pertinent to mention that KU is the only university of Pakistan which
has been selected for this project.
According to the terms and
conditions of the project, faculty members, students and staff of KU

of Sweden, which lined up other universities in Asia and Europe
including University College London - UK, University of Warsaw - Poland,
University of Vienna - Austria, Peking University - China,
Jahangirnagar University ñBangladesh and others.
The overall
objective of Erasmus Mundus Europe Asia Project is to create a
partnership in research and education that will strengthen ties between
Europe and Asia. "This project will be used as a platform to strengthen
academic cooperation, and emphasis will also be placed on capacity
building aspects, specifically, the ability of the universities to
handle international mobility and large international cooperation
projects," she said.
Dr. Kazmi said that the goal of the project is
to create cooperation structures of long-lasting value to the
university. The prioritised fields of study and research identified are
Environmental Issues, Public Health, Social Welfare, and International
Law/Human Rights. Central to the project are the mobility opportunities
offered to 106 individuals, shared between undergraduate students,
master students, PhD students, post doctoral and academic staff.
For
this purpose scholarships will be offered in various fields through
which the faculty and research students of KU will get a chance to work
in universities in European countries. The consortium is composed of
partners representing eight European countries (Sweden, Italy, Poland,
UK, Ireland, France, Austria, and Netherlands) and five Asian countries
(Pakistan, India, China, Nepal, and Bangladesh).
All potential
applicants for this scholarship including undergraduates, masters and
PhD students will be required to produce TOEFL scores for getting
admission in European Universities. The first consortium meeting to
further details will be held at Lund University during September 22-25,
2010, which will be attended by Dr. Kazmi.
Meanwhile, the
Vice-Chancellor, Karachi University (KU), Prof. Dr. Pirzada Qasim Raza
Siddiqui, in his message, on the auspicious occasion of Eid, said that
this Eid was a special one of its kind because on this day we have to
display the love and brotherhood which is the hallmark of an Islamic
society.
He added that our Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) established
the Islamic egalitarian society, free of all kinds of exploitation and
corruption, and maintaining the sanctity of this society was made the
obligation of the believers in every age.
For this purpose Allah
Almighty has bestowed upon the blessing of Ramzan at the end of which we
celebrate Eid. Incidents of terrorism are unfortunate during this holy
month. He said that this Eid should be celebrated with simplicity and it
should be remembered that our compatriots were facing acute problems
due to the devastating floods.
