Training Workshop - ERASMUS+ Programme

16,17 & 18 February 2023 - Colombo, Sri Lanka

Three Day Training Workshop: Opportunities and Range of Options for Higher Education Institutions, Public and Private Bodies from Sri Lanka

ERASMUS+ Capacity Building Workshop - Sri Lanka

Erasmus+ is the EU-funded academic initiative aimed at the development of academic, social, and cultural ties between European universities and their counterparts from eligible countries across the world.
In March 2021 a new Erasmus+ package has been announced with a budget of 26.2 Billion Euros were allocated for the period between 2021 and 2027.
This fund is focused primarily on Education, Training, Youth and sports
This is open for both state and non-state sector (Private Sector and NGOs)
Youth, Green or Environment Protection and Digitalisation are priority areas of Erasmus+
As universities of Sri Lanka are eligible for Erasmus+, they can be a part of the academic partnership and alliances with universities from the European Union and other parts of the world receiving funds covering student and teaching staff exchange as well as more wide-scale, institutional developments.
As the Erasmus+ initiative brings unique opportunities, it also requires from university specialists a certain level of training on identifying proper priorities and topic areas of projects, selecting academic partners, drafting proposals and reports, etc.
This training program is designed with the purpose of developing a certain set of skills required by Sri Lankan Academics and academic administrators for successful work within the Erasmus+ initiative,
This is an opportunity to attract a portion of funds available from the EU ( Euro 26.2 Billion) to develop higher education & Training, Youth, and Sports Development in Sri Lanka.
