Welcome

This blog was created as part of the Erasmus Mundus Crossways in Cultural Narratives Masters programme, which is the only one of the EU approved and funded Erasmus Mundus Masters programmes to specialise in traditional humanities with a modern languages background. The Crossways Consortium comprises 6 top-class European universities.

For further information, please check the programme's official website and the universities' websites on the Useful Links section on the left. If you wish to have a specific question answered, please click on Email here and submit your query.

Mundus students, here you will find regular posts regarding the universities of the consortium, tips, activities, events, pictures, etc. Apart from checking it regularly to keep yourself up to date, a good way to use the blog is through the search device. We already have a significant amount of information on some universities of the consortium, so if you want to find information on a specific city, type its name in the search field (top left). You will then see all posts related to that specific city (because each post title contains the city's name in it). You can also type "General" in order to find information concerning everybody.

Crossways General Meeting 2008 - St Andrews

We have the confirmation from the Mundus coordinating team that funding is available for the event (specifically for accommodation). We are organising a three-day (two nights) event -- big thanks to Elisa, Delphine, Natalya and Izabela for the suggestions and tips about St Andrews. A *very* special thanks to Alessandra who has been just wonderfully helpful.

You can find an initial draft of the event's schedule attached. Of course it is provisional and can be changed, according to your suggestions and will. What we have for sure is:

* Room at the university booked - Friday from 1 to 4pm
* Lunch provided by the University of St Andrews on Friday
* Confirmation of funds for one-night accommodation in a hostel

So, the next step is to fill the registration form at


if you are sure you are going. You should be aware that if you wish to participate on the 3 days, one night of accommodation will be at your expense (one night in the hostel costs about 18€/15£) as well as travel costs.

Please make sure you the chart below before registering.
The deadline for registration is Wednesday, 15 October (people who are now living in St Andrews also need to register if they wish to attend the event). Of course you should feel free to join later, but I have to stress it should be very difficult to organise accommodation because there is only one hostel in town. So, if you want to make sure you will have a place to stay, please let us know *now*.

If you are going to register, perhaps you should be considering buying the tickets. You should know that it takes

- approximately 2.5 hours from Edinburgh airport
- approximately 3.5 hours from Glasgow - Prestwick airport
- approximately 20 minutes from Leuchars train station (if you're coming by train from the UK, you should buy the ticket to Leuchars)

For details on how to get there, please click here.

Once we know for sure who is going to participate, we can start organising the seminars and improving the schedule.

I will be looking forward to seeing you all there!

All the best,

Roberta Gregoli
Crossways students' representative 2008-2009
