🌍 Building meaningful international collaboration!
Through Erasmus+ KA171, we are fostering a vibrant and truly active partnership with Guinean universities. 🌍 Inspiring exchange, and exciting future projects with our language centers make this collaboration truly valuable. Through Erasmus+ KA171, students and partners can come together to learn from one another and build lasting connections. 🤝📚✨
The Erasmus+ programme not only enables Europeans to study, train, and gain international experience abroad, but also offers these valuable opportunities to participants outside the European Union, like Guinea.

🌍 Academic exchange and international cooperation at UNAM, Mexico City

From 18 to 22 May, representatives of the Europa-Universität Viadrina Frankfurt (Oder) took part in an international training and exchange programme hosted by the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM), bringing together partner universities from Europe, North and South America 🌎.

The programme was dedicated to strengthening institutional capacities in higher education through an intensive exchange of experiences and practices, with a particular focus on academic cooperation, the development and management of student and staff mobility 🎓, internationalisation at home, and the advancement of multilateral academic projects 📚.

Throughout the week, participants engaged in workshops, presentations and campus visits at Ciudad Universitaria 🏛️, allowing for a direct exchange on different approaches to internationalisation in higher education and on ways to further enhance cooperation between institutions.

The visit also provided an important opportunity to deepen the collaboration between UNAM and the Europa-Universität Viadrina, especially in the context of academic mobility and institutional partnerships 🤝, and to reflect on future areas of joint development.

We would like to thank UNAM and all partner institutions involved for their hospitality and for the constructive and enriching exchange.
