International Psychoanalytic University Berlin gGmbH, Stromstrasse 1, 10555 Berlin, Germany

IPU Berlin is a fully state-recognized private non-profit university that has been offering study programs in psychology and related disciplines since its foundation in 2009. IPU is placing great importance on the quality of international partnerships with its 30 institutional international partners, including all universities of this consortium, being carefully selected to create mutually beneficial, sustainable and lasting partnerships. The university provides high quality education in the areas of clinical psychology and therapist education as well as transdisciplinary academic offerings in cultural studies, leadership and consulting, and organizational psychology. Since 2018, IPU has been offering master’s programs in English which guarantees a strong foundation for the academic elements in the joint program. At the same time expanding its offering in graduate education with EMJM will enrich IPU’s portfolio and will further sharpen its international profile. With regard to academic excellence, IPU Berlin has been achieving excellent scores in the CHE Ranking, which places IPU Berlin firmly among the best universities in Germany for studying psychology. Because IPU does not receive government grants, it has a very high level of experience with fee-based and cost-recovery degree programs and their marketing – an experience which will help support the Joint Master's sustainability. In the framework of the EMDM, IPU Berlin is taking the lead as the project coordinator of the network and will continue to be responsible for the successful implementation of the project work plan in close cooperation with other full partners. In so doing, IPU has already drawn from its extensive experience in managing a network such as “Social Trauma in Changing Societies”.

ISCTE – University Institute of Lisbon, Avenida das Forcas Armadas, 1649-026 Lisboa, Portugal

ISCTE in Portugal was founded in 1972 as one of Portugal’s first modern universities, with the central aim of studying labour and social dynamics in a rapidly changing world.

The primary goal of ISCTE is to train highly skilled professionals for the sustainable and inclusive development of societies. There is no doubt that as part of the EMJM program ISCTE will contribute specially to the areas of transformative leadership and environment and sustainability. With its 450 international partnerships and extensive experience with several Erasmus Mundus projects as a full partner as well as coordinator, ISCTE has been one of the most instrumental partners in program design. By adding PIAS to its portfolio, ISCTE will in its turn strengthen the international and integrative dimension of its offering in social psychology and organizations.

UniNis is the third-largest university in Serbia and, according to QS Ranking, ranked second among Serbian universities. In the past years, UniNis has significantly increased its international activities by, among others, hosting visiting lectures and promoting visits to foreign universities by its academic and non-academic staff. Moreover, an increasing number of projects focusing on student mobility, summer schools, seminars, and other skill-improving activities have been implemented. Most of the student and academic staff mobility is funded through Erasmus+. Additional funds come from, for example, the regional funding program CEEPUS (Central European Exchange Program for University Studies), bilateral cooperation with Germany in the framework of DAAD-funded programs, the US Fulbright Program, and cooperation with Turkey (MEVLANA). When it comes to the Erasmus+ Program, UniNis has more than 170 signed IIA agreements. Recently, UniNis established its first internationally oriented MA Psychology program in English, which is offered both as a regular in-person and as a distance-learning program, mostly targeting international students from the MENA region and South-East Asia. Being a full partner in the EMJM program with teaching as well as internship elements to be provided integrates UniNis even further into the European Union’s higher education area.

University of Sarajevo, Obala Kulina bana 7/11, 71000 Sarajevo,
Federation, Bosnia and Herzegovina

UNSA in Bosnia and Herzegovina is the largest and oldest university in the country with its roots dating back to the 16th century. It is comprised of twenty-five faculties, three academies and five research institutes with the status of full members, internally organized within six science and arts groups from the fields of social sciences, humanities, medical sciences, natural, mathematical, and bio-technical sciences, technical sciences and arts. Since 1996 the University of Sarajevo has been in the process of post-war reconstruction involving the European Universities Association, European Council, European Union higher education initiatives as well as international organizations. The creation of a contemporary European university that is internationally recognized and highly diverse in its offers as well as in its student and faculty composition is one of the main objectives. Participation of the university in the EMJM consortium certainly fosters this objective and provides an important opportunity for further internationalization of the institution. In addition, the university continually invests efforts in strengthening its role as a responsible institution within its social community, and in ensuring its role as the recognizable center for scientific and artistic work. This effort makes the contribution of the university to the EMJM consortium in the field of practical work invaluable. The wide network of internship providers deeply rooted in the region but simultaneously exposed to international network and aware of European job market needs is coordinated by the university on behalf of consortium.
