Yarmouk University (YU) is involved in tens of projects funded mainly by the EU through different programs such as ENPI CBC MED (now ENI CBC MED), H2020 (and formally FP7), ERASMUS+ CBHE (formally Tempus), ERASMUS+ KA107 (formally ERASMUS MUNDUS), DAAD, etc. While YU is partner in most of these projects, depending on the rules of these programs, it led the consortium of many successful projects as grant holder (applicant). This experience makes the university familiar with responsibilities, obligations, and rules of such joint projects.
