Introduction

	The Dept. of Construction Engineering & Management (CEM) is looking for possible partners for Socrates / Erasmus.
	The cooperation will be for two years and can start from the Academic Year 2007-2008.
	Information about the program or us can be found by pressing the links on the Welcome title above.
	Information about the current Socrates / Erasmus aggreements between the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA) and other Universities can be found here. Cooperating Institutions with the School of Civil Engineering can be found here.
	Of course we will be happy to provide any additional information required. Just send us an e-mail and/or see the contact details below.
	More specifically we would be interested in the following actions: Student Mobility (OMS) (*ONLY* for supervision of student diploma / MSc thesis and for a maximum duration of three (3) months) and Teaching Staff Mobility (TS) of short duration (1 week).

We need to exchange signed agreements (that the proposed co-operation will be included in the SOCRATES Institutional Contract). So, please read on and respond if interested !

Who is eligible?

	Higher education Institutions from the 15 Member States of the European Union; the three EEA countries (Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway) and twelve associated countries: Hungary, Romania, the Czech Republic, the Slovak Republic, Poland, Bulgaria, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Slovenia, Malta and Cyprus.
	The Institution should have (or should be eligible to sign) a Socrates Institutional Contract. European Projects or International Affairs or European Union Offices of your Institution should be able to provide more details. In case of doubt, please send an e-mail to eac-info@cec.eu.int

Project Proposal

	To exchange students working on their Diploma / MSc Thesis for a period of 3 months. The student will work on this thesis under joint supervision on a subject of mutual interest. Note that undergraduate students in Athens work normally for a period of no less than 6 months on their Diploma Thesis. The undergraduate studies last for 5 years (10 semesters) and the Diploma in Engineering awarded is equivalent to the Master of Science Degree.
	To exchange members of staff in order to give lectures on a subject offered by the host Institution (TS) (note: seminars and open/invited lectures are NOT eligible).
	The Erasmus Subject Code is 06.4 (the European Union Office of the National Technical University of Athens told me that this Subject Code is a formality that has no effect on the substance of the intended cooperation)

What is needed?

	First download the application form completed with our details and a draft of our intended cooperation. (To download it on your hard disk right click on the link above and choose Save Destination)
	Fill in the blanks / dots on this application form.
	Send us (by e-mail) the completed application form plus any other form that may be required by your Institution.
	Once we have agreed on the final version of the application form, we will exchange the original signed agreements (one for your Institution signed by us and one for National Technical University of Athens, signed by your Institution).
