(10a) The promotion of European common values and people-to-people contacts in the context of the European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP), in particular through educational and youth exchanges, must lie at the core of the Erasmus Mundus programme, supported by a policy dialogue aimed at reinforcing modernisation and reform efforts by the partner countries in the area of education, and must contribute to an improvement in knowledge of foreign languages and cultures and to fostering intercultural dialogue, as well as to convergence with EU policies, including the Bologna and Copenhagen processes. Mobility of teaching staff and researchers is an essential part of increasing research cooperation between the EU and the ENP countries and improving excellence, but it is also important to take measures to prevent a brain drain in this field.
