New publications on the international dimension of Erasmus+
EACEA has recently released a series of new publications highlighting the international dimension of the Erasmus+ Programme and its growing impact beyond the EU.
Six of these publications are the Regional Policy Reviews (2024), covering Sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America, Asia, the Caribbean, the Pacific and the Middle East. Produced under the service contract supporting the network of Erasmus+ National Focal Points (ENFPs), these reviews offer a comprehensive overview of higher education systems and policy frameworks in partner countries. They also identify key opportunities for cooperation between Erasmus+ and countries not associated with the Programme, with a focus on priorities such as digitalisation, inclusivity and active democratic participation.
Another publication, “Current trends in higher education and its third mission – Partnering for social and economic development in HERE countries”, was developed under the SPHERE service contract, which supports the network of Higher Education Reform Experts (HERE). This network contributes to capacity building in higher education institutions across 22 non-associated countries in the Western Balkans, Neighbourhood East, Southern Mediterranean and Central Asia. The study explores how national higher education systems support partnerships for social and economic development, highlighting institutional initiatives driven by labour market needs, as well as by challenges linked to climate change, student welfare and informed citizenship.
Finally, EACEA also published the Erasmus Mundus Graduate Impact Survey (2024), carried out under the procurement contract “Provision of Services for Erasmus+ International Students and Alumni Networks”. Conducted annually, the survey assesses the short- and long-term impact of Erasmus Mundus Joint Masters through graduates’ perspectives, with the aim of continuously improving the programme and better responding to the needs of students, academic institutions and employers.
