The Erasmus programme gives university staff from across Europe  the opportunity to spend a short period of time teaching or undergoing training at another European university.

Funded by the European Union’s Erasmus programme, delegates will spend the week discussing a range of topics which are relevant to all but where different approaches may be taken in different countries.

These include the management of  international activity, student support, employability, curriculum development and recruitment. Delegates will have the chance to share best practise and learn from each other as well being able to experience the Swansea University approach for themselves.

Staff and student exchange, teaching and research partnerships with leading European Universities have long been a key part of Swansea’s approach. Through the prestigious Erasmus Mundus programme students can study in three different countries in Europe and beyond. The University is also developing a new wide-ranging strategic partnership with Universite Joseph Fourier in Grenoble, France.      

These strategic links will continue to grow and develop through engagement with Erasmus+, the new EU programme for Education, Training, Youth and Sport, and Horizon 2020, a key funding instrument of the European Commission for research and innovation.

The Open Week is also an opportunity to show off the region and delegates will have the chance to visit the regenerated Copper Works in Hafod, the Swansea Bay waterfront and the Gower.
