For colleagues interested: there will be a next round for Erasmus+ KA 171 proposals! This round starts mid-October 2025, with an information session held by UT’s Erasmus coordinator Miranda Bonhke. We have until mid-January 2026 to hand in our new proposals for cooperation in research and/or education with current or new partners from non-EU countries.
If you have plans to apply for Erasmus+ KA171 funding, please contact Janke Rademaker from the BMS International Office, for advice on requirements, procedures and good examples from past proposals.
