Dear All,

The Erasmus+ National Agencies (Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Iceland, and Finland), in collaboration with the National Erasmus+ Offices (Bosnia and Herzegovina, Albania, Montenegro, and Kosovo), invite you to a joint webinar. The webinar will be held on Tuesday 29.4.2025 at 14:00 (EET) / 13:00 (CET). The focus is on academic cooperation and funding opportunities in higher education in the Western Balkans.

Who is it for?
Academic and administrative staff in Nordic higher education institutions (HEIs) working with internationalisation and international collaboration and interested in learning more and cooperating with the Western Balkans.

What to expect?
The webinar will provide an overview of the Western Balkans Higher education landscape, highlighting opportunities for increased cooperation and the development of new partnerships.

The Western Balkans region has a specific emphasis as it is part of the IPA III financing instrument, which supports development in countries involved in the EU enlargement process. Institutions in this region have access to Erasmus+ funding opportunities not available to other third countries not associated with the programme, such as KA220 (Cooperation Partnerships) and Alliances for Innovation.

Registration

Deadline for registration is April 27th.

Recording and materials
The webinar will be recorded, and the recording and presentation materials will be shared with participants afterward.
