UE-Canada: vers une coopération renforcée dans les
IP/07/1432 Bruxelles, le 3 octobre 2007 UE-Canada: vers une coopération renforcée dans les domaines de l’enseignement supérieur, de la formation et de la jeunesse Moins d’une année après la signature d’un nouvel accord de huit ans entre l’Union européenne et le Canada dans le domaine de l’enseignement supérieur, de la formation professionnelle et de la jeunesse1, la Commission européenne et les autorités canadiennes lancent, à partir d’octobre 2007, onze nouveaux projets de coopération transatlantique. Le financement de ces projets triennaux vise à établir des programmes d’études communs et des plans de mobilité pour 650 étudiants et membres du corps enseignant européens et canadiens. La Commission européenne a investi 1,4 million d’euros pour la partie européenne du consortium, et le gouvernement canadien égalera cette mise au nom des partenaires transatlantiques. Ján Figel', le commissaire européen à l’éducation, à la formation, à la culture et à la jeunesse, explique: «Ces projets sont le fruit de notre collaboration avec nos partenaires canadiens. Ils illustrent bien les bénéfices que l’on peut tirer de ce genre de coopération éducationnelle: des systèmes éducatifs plus ouverts et compétitifs, mais aussi une meilleure compréhension mutuelle entre nos peuples.» Cette année, la Commission européenne finance onze nouveaux projets axés sur les étudiants. La contribution des autorités canadiennes égalera la somme investie par la Commission européenne (1,4 million d’euros). Tous ces projets relèvent de partenariats transatlantiques entre au moins quatre établissements d’enseignement supérieur et/ou organismes de formation professionnelle (deux établissements européens et deux canadiens au minimum). Tous impliquent des échanges transatlantiques d’étudiants dans le cadre de programmes d’études/de formation élaborés conjointement et étayés par les dispositions requises en matière de reconnaissance mutuelle des unités de valeur, par une préparation linguistique et culturelle adéquate et par les services et infrastructures nécessaires. Les projets s’étaleront sur trois ans, avec pour objectif la mise en place de programmes d’études communs et de formules de mobilité pour 650 étudiants et membres du corps enseignant européens et canadiens. Ils couvriront un grand nombre de domaines décisifs et innovants, tels que la chimie moléculaire, la bioénergie, la robotique multi-agents, la gestion de la sûreté et de la sécurité, les sciences et technologies alimentaires. Deux de ces projets se concentrent sur les petites et moyennes entreprises et une initiative porte sur le développement des possibilités de formation et d'emploi pour les personnes handicapées. 1 Cf. IP/06/1684. Les propositions de projets de cette année ont été examinées par des experts indépendants en Europe et au Canada suivant des lignes directrices définies d’un commun accord. Au total, les onze projets sélectionnés associent 30 universités/établissements de formation européens de quinze États membres2 et 31 universités/établissements de formation canadiens de neuf provinces3. Les États membres les plus représentés dans ces consortiums sont la France (cinq établissements), le Royaume-Uni (quatre établissements), l’Allemagne et l’Irlande (chacun trois établissements participants).4 Depuis le lancement du programme en 1995, quelque 280 établissements européens et canadiens ont participé à 42 projets communs. Jusqu’à présent, plus de 3 000 étudiants ont effectué une période d’études en Europe ou au Canada dans le cadre de cette mobilité transatlantique. Le programme UE-Canada est géré conjointement par l'Agence exécutive «Éducation, audiovisuel et culture», au nom de la Commission européenne, et par le ministère canadien des ressources humaines et du développement social (RHDSC), en collaboration avec le ministère canadien des affaires étrangères et du commerce international.
