Erasmus Mundus Joint Master in Evolutionary Biology (MEME)

MEME is a two-year research oriented master programme for talented
and motivated students who are interested in understanding evolution
in all its facets. The MEME programme will address the driving forces
of evolution at all levels of organismal organisation (from cells and
individuals to populations and ecosystems), and it will allow students
to study all kinds of organisms (microorganisms, plants, animals) in all
kinds of habitats (marine as well as terrestrial) with a diversity of
approaches (field, lab, theory). The focus of the programme is not
only on how evolution shaped life on our planet in the past, but also
on how understanding the principles underlying evolution can provide
new insights and help to cope with present-day challenges in a
variety of fields, including ecology, epidemiology, physiology,
immunology, genetics/genomics, bioinformatics, economics and
the social sciences.

Only few universities in the world would be able to offer a programme
of such broad scope without compromising scientific quality. For this
reason, four European universities:

- University of Groningen (Netherlands)

- University of Montpellier II (France)

- Ludwig Maximilians University of Munich (Germany)

- Uppsala University (Sweden)

have joined forces with Harvard University (USA).

Together, this consortium is able to put together an attractive
multidisciplinary programme that meets highest standards. All
students have to study at at least two partner universities, and
they will receive either a joint MSc degree from the whole consortium
or double degrees from two partner universities.

Being financed by the European Community, MEME has to satisfy the
high quality standards imposed the prestigious Erasmus Mundus
Programme. Full scholarships are available for MEME students and will
be awarded in a selective procedure.

Starting date: September 2011
