A scholar is an academic and/or professional of outstanding experience who carries out teaching or research assignments and scholarly work in the institutions participating in the WOP-P programme. Erasmus Mundus scholarships allow third-country scholars to perform the tasks defined by the consortium during their stay of up to three months.
Who is a third-country scholar.
In accordance with the criteria of the European Union,
"Third-country scholar means a national coming from all countries other than the 27 EU Member States, the EEA-EFTA states (Island, Liechtenstein and Norway) and the candidate countries for accession to the EU (presently
Croatia, Turkey and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia); who is not a resident of any of the Member States or the participating countries; who has not carried out his or her main activity (studies, work, etc.) for more than a total of 12 months over the last five years in any of the Member States or the participating countries; and who has outstanding academic and/or professional experience."
The term "third-country" does not have anything to do with the term "third world".
