European Education and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA)

The Erasmus+ Cluster Meeting and Contact-Making Seminar for the Asia, Pacific and Middle East regions, which will be held on 13-14 November 2024 in Bangkok (Thailand) and online.

The Cluster Meeting will provide a forum for Erasmus+ project beneficiaries, candidates and stakeholders to share knowledge and exchange experiences. In addition, the Contact-Making session will enable online and in-person networking among experienced and newcomer organisations interested in project cooperation, coming from the different countries in the three regions, the European Union and third countries associated to the Erasmus+ Programme.

This year’s event has a thematic focus, namely Digital in Education, in line with the European Digital Education Action Plan 2021-2027 and the EU’s strategies for connectivity with the world in line with its Global Gateway Strategy. The programme will feature project examples and panel discussions looking at how this theme is being addressed in the European Education Area, in the three regions involved, and supported by the Erasmus+ programme.

Digital in Education will serve as an example of how different types of Erasmus+ actions tackle global challenges. Synergies between projects and institutions, including political bodies, will be presented and discussed in order to obtain a broader perspective on the topic. The audience will hence be mostly composed of the Erasmus+ community of beneficiaries and stakeholders, irrespective of their knowledge on Digital Education. Experts on the specific topic will also be invited, to present the framework and for them to learn about Erasmus+ opportunities and potential partners.

For your information, the event will be in hybrid format (in situ in Bangkok with online participation through the digital event platform).

The organisers will provide participants with lunches and refreshments during the event days. All other costs should be covered by the participants themselves.

Registration details and a draft agenda of the event are available now on the event page on the Erasmus+ National Focal Point website. The closing date for applications to attend in situ in Bangkok is Monday 28^th October 2024. The number of participants who can attend in situ is restricted and as a result we might not be able to accept all applications to join the event in person in Bangkok.

If you have any questions or need further information, please do not hesitate to reach out to secretariat@enfpsupport.net.

German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD)

The Head Office of the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) is currently running an assessment of the DAAD portfolio and the activities in India. To support  to assess the DAAD's engagement in India based on your experiences as responsible for internationalisation of your university. The study aims to identify to which extent the existing needs and requirements are covered and if there are potential funding gaps.

Against the background of substantial science and education policy reforms in India (most notably the National Education Policy (NEP) and the Draft of the Science and Technology Policy) as well as India's growing geopolitical importance, the DAAD would like to strategically align its engagement in this country. For this purpose, the DAAD has commissioned the agency Syspons to conduct a portfolio analysis as well as an analysis of the DAAD’s local representation structures. On the one hand, the objectives of the current DAAD engagement are to be validated, higher-level impact are to be recorded, and synergies between the DAAD's funding instruments are to be identified. On the other hand, the cooperation with Indian partner organizations and higher education institutions are assessed against the backdrop of their requirements for internationalisation.

In this context, we are conducting focus groups with DAAD cooperation partners and important stakeholders. As your institution is highly engaged in international higher education and research cooperation, we would be glad if you could support us and join us for an online focus group.

The agency Syspons will run an online focus group. and will contact you in the next days. The confirmed participants of the focus groups will receive some guiding questions beforehand for preparation.
