Joint European Degree Label Launching and Amplification project (JEDLAmP)

The Joint European Degree Label Launching and Amplification project (‘JEDLAmP’) brings together the ENLIGHT partner universities to accelerate the implementation of the joint European degree label initiative with a view to supporting the transformation of transnational higher education.

By combining ten existing Erasmus Mundus joint master programmes with four new alliance-level joint programmes under development, the project creates a unique testing ground spanning both mature and emerging models of international education collaboration.

The project strengthens institutional capacity through targeted guidance and practical tools to help joint programmes align with the joint European degree label criteria and successfully obtain the label. At the same time, it tackles barriers to participation in joint programmes by providing students with financial mobility support, to be awarded based on inclusion-oriented criteria to support equitable access to these initiatives.

Through its comprehensive approach, JEDLAmP aims to make joint degree programmes more scalable, attractive, accessible and sustainable. By engaging universities beyond the ENLIGHT alliance through the participating Erasmus Mundus consortia, as well as key European higher education stakeholder organisations, the project will ensure broad dissemination and uptake of its tools, insights and policy recommendations across the European Education Area.
