Examples of these are the two agreements with the US and with Canada, just renewed for a further five years; the TEMPUS programme, originally launched in 1990 as part of the original Phare activity, but now (since the EC's main education activities are open to associated countries) embracing Eastern Europe, the Caucasus, Central Asia and the Western Balkans; and ALFA, a programme that seeks to develop higher education in Latin America through links with EC institutions.
