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.

General: 14th EMA Newsletter


14th EMA Newsletter

Dear EMA members,

the annual EMA General Assembly took place in Vilnius. Besides electing the new president (Chunyu Liang, MESPOM), re-electing the vice-president (Ricardo Chavez, EMMS) and having active discussions on the EMA Statute Amendments, the delegates also had a chance to talk to the representatives of the European Commission, experience the European Cultural Capital 2009 during a walk around the city with local students and arrange new EMA Service Teams. We hope that the new faces also would bring new ideas and the Course Representatives will stay an active link between the EMA, the European Commission and the Master Courses.

IMESS is featuring in this 14th EMA newsletter, and vacation trips or final exams are probably featuring in your life. We hope that you enjoy the summer days!
