partners• Limited budget and a limited number of mobilities means that

KTH is in for a great competition.• UHR will grant applications with high quality from a small

number of universities.

Award criteria

All applications will be assessed, for each mobility project with a Partner Country, on the following criteria:

• Relevance of the strategy (maximum 30 points)• Quality of the cooperation arrangements (maximum 30 points)• Quality of the activity design and implementation (maximum 20 points)
