MOCCA
MOCCA was one of twelve projects selected by the European Commission under the call for proposals “DG EAC 01/06 - Higher Education Reforms (Lisbon Strategy and Bologna Process)” published in the Official Journal of the European Commission on 21 February 2006. The Commission received all in all 53 applications for financial support. With a total budget of about 3 million euro, the successful projects will receive a financial assistance of approx. 260.000 euro each for a maximum duration of 24 months. By supporting these projects, the Commission seeks to contribute to the priorities set in the Education and Training 2010 section of the agenda for the Lisbon Strategy as well as to the priorities of the Bologna Process defined in the Berlin and Bergen Communiqués by European ministers responsible for higher education.
The project, coordinated by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) lasted from 1 October 2006 until 31 August 2008. Within the framework of an international cooperation of higher education institutions led by the University of Applied Sciences (Hochschule Fulda) and National SOCRATES/ERASMUS Agencies from five EU countries, MOCCA aimed at meeting the priorities of the Commission by designing a guideline for the development of core curricula with integrated mobility windows. The study programme “Public Health” that had been developed serves as a concrete model in order to confirm the practical feasibility.
Bologna Experts, members of the Tuning project and other stakeholders, i.e. graduates from related master programmes, policymakers in the field of education and health have given substantial support to MOCCA.
The results of the project have now been published in two separate books. Further information about the publication can be found here.
