News and Events

On 22 January 2026, the EMSEX consortium had the pleasure of presenting online the outcomes of the Erasmus Mundus Design Measures project to institutional and professional partners. The presentation showcased the work developed throughout the Design Measures phase, including the programme’s vision and relevance, curricular structure, expected academic and societal impact, sustainability strategy, and the roles of partner institutions. The session also provided space for open discussion and exchange, allowing partners to collectively reflect on the future implementation of the Erasmus Mundus Joint Master in Sexology.

If approved, the European Master's in Sexology is expected to start in October 2027. Together, we continue working towards the establishment of a strong, inclusive, and internationally recognised Master’s programme in Sexology.

The final EMSEX in-person meeting happened in Lisbon. The consortium worked on finalising key aspects of the programme design and the Erasmus Mundus Joint Master application. The meeting allowed the team to align on remaining curricular details, governance arrangements, and strategic elements of the joint application, marking the final consolidation phase of the Design Measures project.

The EMSEX consortium met at the University of Almería (Spain). During this meeting, the consortium worked on the development of the curriculum, institutional partnerships, programme details, and overall structure of the future two-year, 120 ECTS international Master’s programme. EMSEX will combine research, clinical practice, and education, promoting a transdisciplinary and interdisciplinary approach to human sexuality, sexual health, and rights.

The consortium expresses its gratitude to the University of Almería for hosting the meeting and for its ongoing contribution to this collaborative European initiative.

This meeting represented a decisive step in transitioning from programme design to formal submission.

The EMSEX consortium met in Malmö and reached key agreements on the overall programme structure, learning pathways, and mobility scheme. This milestone significantly advanced the design of the future Erasmus Mundus Joint Master in Sexology.

The consortium is deeply grateful to Malmö University for hosting the meeting and for its meaningful contribution to the development of this European collaboration.

A series of international focus groups were conducted with students, professionals, and institutional stakeholders. These consultations aimed to identify academic needs, professional expectations, and societal challenges in sexology education, ensuring that the EMSEX Master's is relevant, inclusive, and evidence-based.

The EMSEX consortium met in person for the first time in Porto. This meeting allowed partners to share existing Master’s programmes, institutional expertise, and best practices, laying the foundations for the joint European curriculum in Sexology.
