Choreomundus - Erasmus Mundus Master in Dance and Movement as Practical Knowledge and Heritage

2026-2027 Academic Year Application Campaign

The new Erasmus+ Choreomundus application to the European Commission was successful and the website opened for applicants on 1 November 2025. The title of the new master’s programme is “Choreomundus – Erasmus Mundus Master in Dance and Movement as Practical Knowledge and Heritage” with a Consortium of 4 partner universities: Vytautas Magnus University, Kaunas, Lithuania – VMU (coordinator); National Kapodistrian University of Athens, Greece – NKUA; University of Clermont Auvergne, France – UCA; University of Roehampton, London, UK – UR. Further information regarding application procedures and funding will be made available in the near future. Again we appreciate your interest in our EMJM and look forward to receiving your applications in the forthcoming recruitment campaign.

Choreomundus investigates dance and other movement systems (ritual practices, martial arts, games, sports and physical theatre) as Intangible Cultural Heritage within the broader contexts of Ethnochoreology, the Anthropology of Dance and Movement, Cultural Studies, Heritage Studies, Dance and Technology. A central aim of Choreomundus is to analyse the practical knowledge that sustains intangible heritage from an interdisciplinary perspective.

 

Application process for visiting scholars is ongoing.
