Informative session with Movetia about Erasmus+ cooperation
Servizio relazioni internazionali e mobilità
1 Marzo 2018
On March 1, in collaboration with SUPSI and Movetia, USI organised an information session on funding instruments for creating new partnerships and cooperation projects. The presentation was held by Ms. Maria Stergiou, Program Coordinator for Higher Education at the National Agency Movetia. Along with the Erasmus+ funding measures «Strategic Partnerships» and «Knowledge Alliances», two newly created funding instruments by the Federal Council for the promotion of international cooperation and mobility in education have been presented.
With about 2.3 million CHF, the new 2018-2020 international programme supports and encourages cooperation with higher education institutions outside of the countries involved in Erasmus+, with the aim of fostering new opportunities and strengthening existing relations. The two financial instruments available are the following:
1. Tertiary level international programme
Short-term courses (two to six weeks) in which students and faculty from Swiss universities develop and test innovative and multidisciplinary training opportunities with institutions in non-European countries.
2. Open project fund
Form, duration, structure, and type of activity are completely open. Projects involving different field and levels are also possible.
Application deadlines are respectively May 31, and June 22, 2018.
More information on the programmes and procedures are available on the site of the national agency movetia:
