International Relations Staff / non-academic staff
We invite colleagues from a variety of areas, such as International Relations, Erasmus Offices, Inclusion and Diversity, to participate in our workshops and activities.

Social participation and diversity are key themes of the Erasmus+ program generation 2021-2027.

• How can universities contribute to equal opportunities with Erasmus+?
• What impact does social inclusion have on outgoing and incoming mobility?
• Do International Offices need to reposition themselves in order to attract students with fewer opportunities?
• What measures to increase inclusion and diversity are supported in the various European countries?
• What are inclusion strategies of the individual universities?
• Where can we learn from each other?
