The Erasmus Mundus Students and Alumni Association (EMA) is an association for students and alumni of Erasmus Mundus Master and Doctoral programmes. All EMA members have studied an M.A., MSc. or PhD and as such benefitted from a mobility program under the Erasmus+ Action. Over 30,000 students have taken part in Erasmus Mundus courses. Over 16,000 of them are EMA members!
EMA representatives are active all year round and engaged in a large variety of events, activities and more. Go to the EMA News page to read about the most recent updates.
The EMA Programme Representative for EDISS is Halidu Abdaluai. The primary role of a Programme Representative (PR) is to serve as the contact person between an EMJMD’s students, alumni, course coordinators, and EMA. PRs are the advocates for students and alumni of their course within EMA, and the ambassadors of EMA within their respective courses. It is essential to note that PRs serve as the link between EMA and their course, rather than being a ‘class representative’ for the consortium/course. The main responsibilities are EMA-related!
EDISS students and Alumni are encouraged to join the Erasmus Mundus Students and Alumni Association and to participate in its activities.
EMA, as a purely volunteer run Association currently has 150+ active volunteers in roles such as:
- Management Board Members, overall steering of the Association,
- Program Representatives of any Erasmus Mundus programme,
- Country Representatives across the globe, and
- Project Leaders, leading projects related to EMA’s mission and vision.
Overall, EMA volunteers are active amongst their fellow students and alumni fostering interaction and community belonging and form a global network for the international realisation of the Associations mission. EMA volunteers, and broadly all members, function as ambassadors of Erasmus Mundus, spreading its message around the world.
