European Treaty Series - No. 69

EUROPEAN AGREEMENT ON CONTINUED PAYMENT
OF SCHOLARSHIPS TO STUDENTS STUDYING ABROAD

Paris, 12.XII.69

The member States of the Council of Europe, signatory hereto,

Having regard to the European Cultural Convention, signed at Paris on 19 December 1954;

Having regard to the declaration of the European Ministers of Education in Resolution No. 4 adopted at their 4th Conference, held in London on 14_16 April 1964, which, recognising the need to encourage exchanges of undergraduate and particularly post_graduate students between European countries, expressed the hope that steps would be taken to ensure that national programmes of financial support for students become equally applicable to periods of study in other European countries;

Considering that the practice of study in a country other than a student's home country is likely to contribute to a student's cultural and academic enrichment;

Considering that the fundamental cultural community existing among the member States of the Council of Europe signatory to the European Cultural Convention and the other States which have acceded thereto, makes such a practice possible;
