ERASMUS Mundus Program Guide - EACEA - Europa

Publicity
Apart from the measures foreseen for the visibility of the project and the dissemination and exploitation of
its results (which are award criteria), there is an obligation of minimal publicity for each granted project.
Beneficiaries must clearly acknowledge the European Union‟s support in all communications or
publications, in whatever form or whatever medium, including the Internet, or on the occasion of activities
for which the grant is used (for information on the logos to be used see
http://eacea.ec.europa.eu/about/eacea_logos_en.php). If this requirement is not fully complied with, the
beneficiary‟s grant may be reduced.
Applicants should note that the possibility to refer to the Erasmus Mundus Programme and to use related
brand names – such as “Erasmus Mundus Masters Course (EMMC)”, “Erasmus Mundus Joint Doctoral
Programme (EMJD)”, "Erasmus Mundus Partnership" or “Erasmus Mundus Project” - for the promotion and
dissemination of their activities and results is exclusively restricted to selected proposals.
Nevertheless, Erasmus Mundus Masters Courses funded for at least five consecutive editions (student
intakes) and whose EU funding has been interrupted – for reasons of budgetary constraints or because they
have secured other sustainable sources of funding – may continue referring to the Erasmus Mundus Brand
Name for their promotion and dissemination activities under the conditions defined in section 4.7 below.
The European Commission has opened a free public multilingual electronic platform for the dissemination
and exploitation of project results. This platform is called EVE (Espace Virtuel d'Echange) and its objective
is to improve access to the results of EU programmes and initiatives in the field of education, training, youth,
etc., and at the same time increase their visibility. Erasmus Mundus selected projects may be invited to
upload information on EVE about their activities, progress made and results achieved (e.g. products,
pictures, links or presentations, etc.).
Audits and monitoring
A granted project may be subject to an audit and/or to a monitoring visit. The beneficiary will undertake,
with the signature of its Grant Agreement, to provide proof that the grant has been used correctly. The
Agency, the European Commission, and/or the European Court of Auditors, or a body mandated by them,
may check the appropriate implementation of the activities (in accordance with the programme requirements
and the original application) and the use made of the grant at any time during the term of the agreement and,
for what concerns audits, during a period of five years following its expiry.
Data protection
All personal data contained in the grant agreement shall be processed in accordance with:
Regulation (EC) No 45/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the protection of
individuals with regard to the processing of personal data by the EU institutions and bodies and on
the free movement of such data;
where applicable, the national legislation of the country where the application has been selected.
These data will be processed solely in connection with the implementation and evaluation of the Programme,
without prejudice to the possibility of transferring such data to the bodies responsible for inspection and
audit in accordance with European legislation (internal audit services, European Court of Auditors, Financial
Irregularities Panel or to the European Anti-Fraud Office). On request, you may be sent your personal data
and in order to correct or complete them. For any question relating to these data, please contact the Agency.
Beneficiaries may lodge a complaint against the processing of their personal data with the European Data
