These networks are fairly large organisations involving a great number of institutions Europe.
- Erasmus Curriculum Development Project: developing a Joint MA programme in Migration studies (2003-2006), 29666-IC-1--2002-1-NO-ERASMUS-PROGUC.
In addition to acting as coordinator of these initiatives UiS has been partner of other EU intiatives that involves activities in intercultural education and research on migration didactics, in addition to being partner of two MINERVA initiatives with particular emphasis on use of ICT and internet based teaching.
