Since 2009 the U4 partners have made a joint effort in setting up projects in the framework of Erasmus Action 2 partnerships, formerly known as External Coopertation Windows. The first consortium with all U4 partners represented was the LiSUM project ('Linking Sino-European Universities through Mobility'). The project aimed at the exchange between Europe and China and provided for 250 scholarships. The project lasts until July 2013, but is no longer open for application. More info: www.lisum.ugent.be.
