COPHELA is funded by the EACEA of the EU, grant number 598807-EPP-1-2018-1-ES-EPPKA2-CBHE-JP.Abstract
COPHELA (Cooperation in Quality Assurance for Pharmacy Education and Training
between Europe and Latin America), a collaborative project between the European Union (EU) and
Latin America, will produce on-line courses for the master degree in pharmacy. The program runs
from 2019 through 2021. It is funded by the Erasmus+ program of the Education, Audio-visual
and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA) of the European Commission. The partners are EU and
Latin American universities. These are accompanied by associated partners from EU and Latin
American universities, as well as from governmental and non-governmental organizations, such as
pharmacy chambers and educational associations. The project is coordinated by the University of
Granada, Spain (first author of this paper). It will produce distance learning master degree courses in
a dozen fields of specialized pharmaceutical science education and practice, ranging from patient
care to industrial pharmacy. This paper describes the design of the project and is intended to evoke
constructive comments. It also represents a call for the recruitment of additional associated partners.
