The École pratique des hautes études (EPHE) is an institute of advanced studies and a member of Paris Sciences et Lettres (PSL) Research University. Its courses start at master level but focus mostly on the doctoral and post-doctoral levels, in earth and life sciences (ELS) as well as social and human sciences (SHS), most of them involving a high degree of specialisation. EPHE has been a signatory of the Erasmus Charter since 2003 for all its disciplines and of the Erasmus+ Charter until 2021. The new Erasmus+ Programme has given EPHE the opportunity to restructure its European bilateral agreements. EPHE currently has 49 such agreements and 5 European mobility agreements with Switzerland. EPHE matches student mobility grants received from Erasmus+ with the same amount allocated from its own budget. EPHE organizes periods of study in Europe on a case-by-case basis, according to specific requirements expressed by students and their academic and scientific tutors (‘reinforced tutoring’) regarding the discipline and geographic area concerned, or by other members of staff as the case may be. A more formal structure for student mobility is provided in the European Master Degree Programme in « Political and Cultural History of Medieval, Modern and Contemporary Europe » of which EPHE is the coordinator. EPHE’s objectives for its participation in Key Action 1 (Learning Mobility of Individuals) are : to develop integrated curricula at master and doctoral levels with its traditional European partners within the context of its existing programmes and projects ; to set up courses in partnership (European double degrees) ; to improve the reception of visiting foreign students. In this context EPHE places special emphasis on master students, in view of the comparatively lower availability of support for study periods abroad at master level. In its first two years of participation in the Erasmus+ Programme (Higher Education Mobility, 24-month Agreement 2014-2016), EPHE has supported 6 participants: 3 master students for study periods abroad, 2 professors for teaching periods, 1 administrative staff member for a training period. Additionally EPHE has hosted 46 students, 39 for study periods and 7 for traineeships, and 5 teaching staff (3 for training periods). Student hosting in this initial phase has been characterised by the development of traineeships initiated in the previous Erasmus programme. The granting of support to its own students for traineeship periods in Europe began when EPHE joined the new Erasmus+ Programme and has so far been limited to Earth and Life Sciences. It has reached a very satisfying level in relation to the number of potentially interested students. It is worthy recalling in this respect that none of the degrees offered at EPHE include a compulsory study period or traineeship abroad, neither in ELS or SHS. Grants for training periods abroad of EPHE staff is another new development which has been made possible by the new Erasmus+ Programme. The current period has shown that there is a significant level of interest and expectation regarding teaching periods abroad on the part of EPHE professors, besides existing schemes for hosting visiting fellows from foreign partner universities and higher education institutions. Such opportunities for teaching periods abroad do not only strengthen existing partnerships and initiate new ones : they open fresh opportunities for exchanges, in particular at doctoral level. From its participation in Key Action 1 (Learning Mobility of Individuals) EPHE is expecting the following long-term impact and benefits: better integration in the LMD Process ; improvement of its hosting procedures ; development of double degrees at master level beyond what is already in place within the context of international co-supervised PhDs ; providing its students with the opportunity to acquire new practical, intercultural and linguistic skills.
