Development and sustainability. The Joint Board will promote the financial development and sustainability of EMSE by the following activities: − As mid-term strategy, UNIBZ retains the 10% of all EMSE students’ tuition fee for co- financing the programme administration. As long-term strategy, UNIBZ is undertaking a process of national accreditation of EMSE as international programme. Among the other benefits, the accreditation will also provide some resources from the central administration of UNIBZ for administrative support. − To complement the visibility induced by the Erasmus Mundus Brand Name, the EMSE Full Partners, as mid-term strategy, are creating a list of universities in the consortium countries where no master course in computer science is offered to contact them for the marketing of the EMSE programme. The consortium also maintains a list of websites where to advertise the programme and a database of students that inquired the EMSE consortium about the programme to contact when the application sessions are open. Each Full Partner will contribute to the economic sustainability of the project in equal way. The EMSE consortium has agreed the following internal measures of sustainability − The EMSE consortium aims at offering every year at least two two-year scholarships that include the tuition fee and a monthly allowance to live in any of the consortium countries. − Left over of the tuition fee (deduced the 10% of the reserve and 5% for travelling costs) is used for financing EMSE related activities with priorities to scholarships for next intakes − The Task Force must include different types of organizations that can represent the market in which future graduates will find the first job and promote the EMSE programme − Negotiate with Associated Partners one or two grants for edition − 10% of the tuition fees of the whole consortium is reserved to contribute to the UNIBZ coordination costs − Explore new source of funding like scholarship programmes in the partner countries − Apply to other students and scholars’ mobility programmes of the European Commission
