Back to EU Region Agreement since 2024 Agreement 2021 - 2027 This website is undergoing updates Erasmus + since 2024 The Erasmus + Program is the European Union’s program that supports higher education, training/vocational education, education, youth and sport. As a European Union project, it supports priorities and activities set out in the European Education Area, Digital Education Action Plan, the European Skills Agenda and as such supports, implements and develops: the European Pillar of Social Rights, the EU Youth strategy and the European dimension in sport. For higher education institutions, there are a number of possibilities. European institutions with an Erasmus Charter may apply for exchange mobilities for students and staff. But there are also many other possibilities for the institutions to cooperate within Europe and beyond for both research, excellence, education, policy development. The present agreement is set up as a multilateral agreement, allowing the signatories to take advantage of the iSchools community for exchange. The iSchools European/African Region member institutions (https://www.ischools.org/european-region ), signatories on the agreement and addendum, agree to cooperate for the exchange of students and/or staff in the context of the Erasmus+ programme. The purpose of this collaboration is to promote student and staff exchanges within the iSchools consortium. Members located within the EU/EEA are eligible to access available funding for exchanges between participating institutions in the EU/EEA. For members outside the EU/EEA, this agreement facilitates student and staff exchanges on a tuition-waiver basis, with no additional funding available under the current Erasmus+ call. In addition to the current joining members any member of the iSchools European/African Region may join this agreement, subject to approval by the existing joining members. The current members are: France : Université de Bretagne Occidentale France: ENSSIB France: Université de Lille / University of Lille Germany: University of Regensburg Israel: Bar Ilan University Latvia: Latvija Universitate / University of Latvia Poland: University of Warsaw Portugal: Universidade do Porto Sweden: Linnaeus University How to Take Part? To participate in the Erasmus+ program, students need to turn to their own international coordinators and follow the procedures at their own institutions for application and selection. How to join? Membership The agreement may be joined by all iSchools members within the European/African Region at the time of its establishment. Thereafter, new members may only be admitted with the approval of all existing joining members, in accordance with Section 9 of the agreement. Such approval may be conducted through a simple poll or vote. Student Exchange Commitment By signing the agreement, each joining member commits to receiving one (1) student for one semester (5 months) per academic year from each other joining member. Consequently, accepting new members implies a proportional increase in the number of incoming students. Members may, by mutual consent and confirmed in writing (e.g., via email), agree to adjust the number of exchanged students for a particular academic year. Erasmus+ Funding Institutions holding the Erasmus+ Charter for Higher Education may use Erasmus+ funds for exchanges with other eligible partners under this agreement, at their own discretion. Institutions located outside the EU/EEA are not currently eligible for Erasmus+ funding under this collaboration. Main Agreement, Addendum and Publication All joining members must sign the main agreement and complete their institutional addendum, including the required information and authorised signatures. The signed agreement and addendum must then be submitted to the current Board Director for iSchools European/African Region. A consolidated overview of the participating institutions and their addenda will be published on the iSchools website.
