On 19 and 20 November 2025, the annual Erasmus Mundus Joint Masters (EMJM) kick-off meeting organised by the European Education and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA) was held in Brussels.
The meeting brought together academic coordinators and administrative staff from new or renewed EMJM programmes. As Bioceb coordinator, Stéphanie Baumberger had the opportunity to attend this two-day meeting in person. This allowed her to share her experience and best practices with coordinators from disciplines as diverse as humanities, security, laser physics and oral communication. The testimonials from successful projects and former EMJM students were particularly interesting, as they provided inspiring examples and ideas to take away. In addition, the presentations on the updated rules for EMJM programmes were very useful in preparing for the recruitment of the next Bioceb cohort and ensuring the smooth implementation of the programme. These were complemented by a face-to-face meeting with the Bioceb project officer, who confirmed that Bioceb was on track.
Overall, thanks to this meeting, Bioceb has consolidated its position within the Erasmus Mundus community.
