Printed in Belgium The Tempus Programme
Tempus (trans-European cooperation scheme for higher education), now in its fifth academic
year of existence, was adopted on 7 May 1990·*. The second phase adopted on 23 April
1993^, covering the period 1994-1998, is currently in progress. Tempus forms part of the
overall community assistance programme for social and economic restructuring of the
partner countries of Central and Eastern Europe (known as the Phare programme), and since
1994, also the assistance programme for economic reform and recovery in the newly
independent states of the former Soviet Union and Mongolia (known as the Tacis
programme).
In the context of these reforms, particular emphasis has been put on the development of
human resources, an essential instrument in cooperation between the European Union and
the partner countries in Central and Eastern Europe as well as in the former Soviet Union.
Tempus was created in this perspective in order to promote and support the development of
the higher education systems in the countries concerned.
This Compendium concentrates exclusively on projects running in the academic year
1994/95 in the context of Tempus (Phare). Joint European Projects (JEPs) are the main
vehicle for cooperation between the countries eligible to participate in Tempus (Phare) and
the Member States of the European Union. This type of project requires the participation of
at least one higher education institution per partner country involved, one higher education
institution in an EU Member State and a partner organisation (higher education institution,
enterprise or organisation) in another EU Member State. Financial assistance is granted for
activities which respond to the specific needs of the institutions concerned. These projects
should aim to achieve a structural objective or concentrate on student mobility over a
maximum three year period.
Parallel to this type of aid, Individual Mobility Grants (IMG) for teaching and administrative
staff and trainers from higher education institutions, senior ministry officials and education
planners, can be obtained to cover teaching assignments, practical placements and
continuing education and retraining.
Complementary Measures Grants (CME), which cover parallel activities related to the
development of higher education, are also available.
Having reaching the end of Tempus funding, the best Joint European Projects can benefit
from supplementary funding through a Joint European Network (JEN) grant. This type of
project which lasts for two years, aims to disseminate and maintain the results achieved by
the JEP.
In the framework of Tempus (Phare), financial support can be granted for cooperation
between the European Union and Albania, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary,
Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, the Slovak Republic and Slovenia.

Joint European Projects
The transition to the second phase of Tempus has lead to a series of important modifications
to the Programme and as a result, also to this Compendium. Project selection is now carried
out in two stages, the first of which is based on compatibility with the priority areas set by
each partner country and the second takes into account the opinions of experts on the
quality of the project, who look at factors such as the extent of the links which already exist
between the partners, feasibility of the project, the prospects for the continuation of the
achievements after the end of Tempus funding and the impact of the project on the different
levels implicated in the realisation of the objective, both within the institutions involved and
society in general. In accordance with this approach, the Compendium is now presented by
partner country. Each chapter starts with an introduction in English on the country
concerned.
In total, 1,365 new JEP applications were submitted for the 31 January 1994 deadline, 762 of
which were in accordance with the priority areas for cooperation. 239 were finally accepted
for financing (17.5% of the total number of applications, 24.5% of applications in priority
areas). The majority of these applications were for structural JEPs (1,220, of which 206 were
accepted), while 67 were for mobility JEPs, 22 of which were accepted for support. The
average grant allocated to the JEPs starting in 1994/95 is 400,000 ECU.
JEPs accepted in 1990 and 1991 have now completed their maximum three years, while the
projects accepted in 1992 and 1993 along with the new projects starting this year makes a
total of 463 JEPs currently in operation.
Individual Mobility Grants
Apart from staff mobility carried out within Joint European Projects, staff from higher
education institutions also have the opportunity to apply individually for a Tempus grant.
The table below illustrates the mobility carried out under IMG over the last three years of
Tempus (Phare), and the overall budget for this activity per academic year. Selection round Mobility 1992/93 1993/94 1994/95

Joint European Networks
From the JEPs which came to an end last year, 30 received an extra grant for the
dissemination and maintenance of the results achieved during their three years of existence. How to use this Compendium
This Compendium covers all the Joint European Projects currently being financed, including
projects which started in 1992/93 and 1993/94 and the new projects launched in 1994/95. It
also contains information on Joint European Networks as well as Complementary Measures
Grants. All data is presented by partner country.
All the information contained in this document is based on data available on 31 August 1994,
corresponding to the financial aid approved by the European Commission.
This Compendium does not attempt to provide a complete set of data on any part of the
Tempus programme, but simply aims toe the user with the essential elements about
the approved projects and the necessary details about the contact person. Anyone wishing
to obtain further details about any particular project is advised to contact the coordinator of
the project directly.
The JEPs, JENs and CMEs detailed in this Compendium are those which have benefited
from Tempus funding. The 463 JEPs currently running are presented by partner country in
numerical order (renewed projects retain their original number). They are followed by JENs
and CMEs also in numerical order. At the end of each chapter, a list of all participating
institutions and their corresponding project numbers is provided and there is also an index
of all Joint European Projects and Joint European Networks by subject area at the end of the
document.
For each entry the reader will find the title and the objective of the project, the name of the
coordinating institution, the country codes, the names and towns of all other participating
institutions and finally the name and address of the coordinator. Le Programme Tempus
