Inhalte und Ziele:
“The Brexit Scenario, the war in Ukraine as well as recent developments in internationalization in several countries have shown that the perception of mutual exchange and mobility as well as joint project cooperation within Europe currently undergo substantive changes. Longstanding cooperation partners and traditional mobility flows have to be complemented with new partners and a new vision about European cooperation. A huge potential for this lies in the cooperation with Southeast European partners.

This contact seminar would like to give interested stakeholders from European higher education institutions the chance to explore new ways, new topics and new forms of cooperation with Southeastern European countries. First, the focus will lie on creating an enhanced understanding of potential problems, which impeded the fostering of international and intra-regional partnerships so far. Second, networking will be on the agenda to help participants to explore marketing opportunities for the 'recruitment' of Southeast European partners and to discern certain potential fields of cooperation for the establishment of new forms of partnerships and projects.”

Zielgruppe:
“The target group is interested staff from European higher education institutions who would like to expand their cooperation with and between Southeast European countries: staff from International Offices and internationalization officers, Erasmus+ coordinators for mobility KA1, project coordinators (from faculties) of Erasmus+ KA2 or KA3 as well as potential applicants and newcomers.”
