The main objective of COOPEN is to promote higher education cooperation between the European Union and Latin America (Lot 21b: Colombia, Costa Rica and Panama) through student and academic mobility for the purpose of studying, teaching, training and researching. COOPEN aims at providing improved education and training opportunities for vulnerable groups and socioeconomically disadvantaged students.
