eMundus project: open education and international academic collaboration
The eMundus project aims to strengthen cooperation among higher education institutions from Europe, Brazil, Mexico, Russia, Indonesia, Canada, and New Zealand by exploring how open approaches like open educational resources, MOOCs, and virtual mobility can support long-term academic partnerships. The project partners include universities and organizations from the participating regions that will work to map existing open education tools, share best practices through an online exploratorium, and transform teachers and administrators into open scholars and leaders in open education through discovery paths and community feedback. The project leaders acknowledge they cannot achieve impact alone and are inviting additional community partners to contribute to and help expand the work.

Editor's Notes
- #9 Three scenarios of use: HEI teaching staff: do you want to create a MOOC? We suggest you assemble your course by using existing open materials and tools, and if you find something is missing, pls create it and share it. HEI teaching staff: do you want to add a virtual component to your existing teaching cooperation with colleagues? Browse virtual mobility success stories to convince your managers and explore tools to make this happen. HEI managers: do you want to improve the quality of your educational offer by increasing international cooperation? MOOCs and VM can be put in place and raise your institution profile. Browse how other universities have implemented these innovative practices.
