The application for African higher education representatives is now open.

The aim of the event is to strengthen higher education cooperation between Germany and Eastern Africa in Erasmus+.

The Erasmus+ Networking Forum consists of two components:

11 September 2024: Site visit to higher education institutions in Nairobi (for German participants only)

The EU programme Erasmus+ includes a strong international dimension in the field of higher education and supports several actions targeting cooperation between Europe and other regions in the world. Especially Erasmus+ Key Action 2 “Capacity Building in Higher Education” supports the modernisation of higher education in EU’s partner countries in the world.

During the networking seminar participants will be informed about funding opportunities in Erasmus+ with a focus on Key Action 2 “Capacity Building in the field of Higher Education” (CBHE). The conference will also inform on Erasmus+ mobility opportunitiesErasmus Mundus Master’s programmesJean Monnet Actions. In addition, participants will learn about DAAD´s bilateral cooperation possibilities between Germany and East African countries.

The Forum will support future Erasmus+ applicants by delivering information on application and by facilitating networking between German higher education representatives and their existing and future partners in East Africa.
