Promoting international exchange

Mobility and cooperation projects within the Erasmus+ framework

The EU education program Erasmus+ represents a framework that affords a host of opportunities for international exchange and cooperation both within Europe and around the world. Information is provided here for the various University departments on funding possibilities for mobility and cooperation projects within the Erasmus+ framework.

Funding mobility—in Europe and worldwide

Erasmus+ is an EU education program designed to promote worldwide academic exchange and cooperation. The principal aim behind the Erasmus+ Programme is promoting individual mobility by funding exchanges with partner universities in Europe (Programme countries) and around the world (partner countries).

Key Action 1 (KA 1) within the Programme involves scholarships for undergraduate and graduate students (including doctoral candidates) to go on exchange for study and internship purposes, grants for teachers to do short-term lectureships and financial support for IT and administrative staff to undergo international continuing education—all regulated under bilateral Erasmus+ agreements. Funding is also available for activities promoting blended mobility.

Funding for university partnerships

Erasmus+ Key Action 2 (KA 2) involves various instruments and program lines for the funding of partnerships and cooperation projects. These include Erasmus Mundus Joint Masters programs, Capacity Building Projects, Alliances for Innovation, Teacher Academies, Jean Monnet Actions and cooperation and partnership projects promoting strategic, structured institutional collaboration, innovative learning and teaching methods and digital competencies relevant to higher education.


Advice and support all the way to project completion

The International Office is there to provide you support with planning and executing Erasmus+ mobility projects (KA 1) within the European Mobility (KA 131) and worldwide Mobility (International Credit Mobility KA 171) lines, with Erasmus+ Mundus Joint Masters programs and with cooperation projects (KA 2)—from the application process to project management and on down to project completion. For more information visit the Erasmus+ area in Confluence (limited access).

Other funding options for forging European alliances alongside European Union programs include the grant programs of the DAAD and the Franco-German University. The International Office will gladly advise you to help you identify the best program for your situation.
