Globes: The Council for Higher Education in Israel has signed an agreement with the European Commission to join Tempus, the trans-European mobility scheme for university studies. Tempus is a faculty and student exchange program between the EU and 27 other countries, including Lebanon, Syria, and Iran. Tempus decided on Israel's membership a month ago.
As a Tempus member, Israeli higher education institutions can submit candidate faculty and students for exchange with European institutions.
Over the next three years, the EU will invest over €15 million in Tempus. The Council for Higher Education estimates Israel will receive about €1 million in the upcoming academic year.
