Update
We are pleased to announce that the results of the Green Erasmus project and other green initiatives will be disseminated at the Student Mobility Summit “More Mobility, Less Carbon Footprint” in early 2025.
The event, which will take place from 4 to 6 February 2025 at the University of Barcelona, will focus on how to balance internationalisation strategies with sustainability efforts. A particular emphasis will be placed on how the green transition impacts the work of IROs, their responsibilities and how it is present in their daily activities.
