Connected horizons.
The internationalisation of a European research university is integral to its mission, with a strong emphasis on fostering international research teams and student cohorts. Through interdisciplinary collaboration among scholars from diverse backgrounds, the university enhances the quality and global impact of its research. In education, the university prioritises forming international student groups that collaborate in both academic and extracurricular settings. These experiences promote intercultural understanding, enrich learning, and prepare students for a globalised world. Joint activities, such as cultural events and community projects, further strengthen a sense of global citizenship. This comprehensive approach ensures academic excellence while positioning the university as a leader in the international academic landscape.
Global Affairs.
Global Affairs is the university’s strategic unit responsible for fostering and coordinating international cooperation, academic partnerships, and global engagement. It oversees the development of international research collaborations, institutional agreements, and mobility frameworks, including both incoming and outgoing exchange programmes. Working closely with faculties, colleges and external partners, Global Affairs supports ERUNI’s mission to enhance its international profile, broaden global opportunities for students and staff, and strengthen the university’s position within the European and wider global academic landscape.
Mobility & Exchange Office.
The Mobility & Exchange Office is part of the Global Affairs unit and manages all aspects of international academic mobility. It coordinates both incoming and outgoing exchanges for students and staff, including Erasmus+ and other institutional or programme-based schemes. The office provides end-to-end support for participants, from initial enquiries and application processes to practical arrangements and post-mobility follow-up. Working closely with the faculties, colleges and offices as well as partner universities, the Mobility & Exchange Office plays a key role in fostering cross-border learning opportunities and facilitating ERUNI’s international engagement in education and research.
Main partner universities.
ERUNI collaborates with over 40 partner universities through Erasmus+ and bilateral agreements.
Erasmus+.
Erasmus+ is the EU’s programme to support education, training, youth and sport in Europe. Its budget of €14.7 billion will provide opportunities for over 4 million Europeans to study, train, and gain experience abroad. Set to last until 2020, Erasmus+ doesn’t just have opportunities for students. Merging seven prior programmes, it has opportunities for a wide variety of individuals and organisations. The aim of Erasmus+ is to contribute to the Europe 2020 strategy for growth, jobs, social equity and inclusion, as well as the aims of ET2020, the EU’s strategic framework for education and training.
