Erasmus+KA1 mobility management

Erasmus+ onboarding training for UK and Swiss institutions

For International Relations Offices in Switzerland and the United Kingdom, the re-association process opens up new opportunities, but also brings new systems, funding mechanisms, policy frameworks, and expectations.

Target group: This training is for professionals working in International Relations Offices, Erasmus+ offices, and internationalisation services at higher education institutions in the United Kingdom and Switzerland. It will be particularly suitable for mobility coordinators, Erasmus+ officers, partnership managers, and internationalisation professionals involved in preparing for or managing Erasmus+ activities.

This training is designed to support higher education professionals in addressing the transition from national mobility schemes to Erasmus+. Combining strategic context with practical implementation, participants will gain the knowledge and confidence needed to manage mobility activities in line with Erasmus+ priorities and programme goals.

By the end of the training, participants will:

Understand the Erasmus+ framework and its strategic and policy context.

Gain practical knowledge on managing Erasmus+ mobility projects and funding.

Explore how Erasmus+ priorities can support institutional internationalisation objectives.

Understand the connections between Erasmus+ mobility activities and cooperation projects.

Build confidence to lead their institution through the transition process.
