EACEA review overall comments (Erasmus+ Key action 1 - Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degrees / EMJMD): "The proposed EMJMD offers an interesting multi- and inter-disciplinary academic programme in a very dynamic research area. The proposal is timely and well-structuring demonstrating significant contribution to the development of European High Education Area region. The consortium involves a number of non-educational associated partners which are engaged with the programme delivery and management in a variety of activities.

The Associate Partners from the whole vaccinology chain include SMEs, pharmaceutical organisations and large companies that cover all the different areas where graduate students can be employed. The industrial actors offer funding which strengthens the sustainibility of the programme beyong EU funding. The proposal addresses current needs of the society in preparing specialists in fundamental and applied aspects of vaccinology capable of continuing their career in academia or industry or healthcare sector.

The EMJMD consortium is comprised of strong academic teams with both experience in research and teaching of graduates with a large number of associated partners representing the major groups of stakeholders. The students will gain professional skills attending courses of all three consortium partners and practise at the best laboratories in Europe. Impact is anticipated in a realistic way at all levels. Networking activities can bring real employment opportunities. The project consortium has very good cooperation with third countries and its excellent EMJMD programme is well targeted to the Latin American countries."
