This policy event, hosted by the European University Foundation and Members of the European Parliament, takes place as the future of the Erasmus+ programme is being determined. With negotiations for the next Multiannual Financial Framework and the regulation setting out the outline for the Erasmus+ on the table, it’s high time to steer the direction and ensure the programme fulfils the needs of its beneficiaries.
Participants in the event will engage in discussions among higher education practitioners, stakeholders, and policy-makers, addressing issues ranging from inclusion and digitalisation to governance and funding of the Erasmus+ programme.
Over two days, participants will take a deep dive into different aspects of the programme, sharing their experiences and expectations for the future of higher education in the Erasmus+ programme.
