DAAD – National Agency in the ERASMUS+ program

The National Agency (NA) for EU university cooperation has been established as a department in the DAAD in the Erasmus+ program and its predecessor programs since 1987, making it one of the most experienced agencies in Europe.

Information and advice center for EU university programs

In addition, the National EU Agency is the information and advice center for the university programs administered in Brussels, the Bologna and the ASEM education process. We perform these tasks for the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) and work closely with the other agencies for Erasmus+ in Germany and Europe.

Internationalization of German universities

Since 1987, the educational programs of the EU have become important instruments for the internationalization of German universities. The current funding offers in the Erasmus+ program provide long-term support for academic cooperation, for example through the mobility of students and university staff, but also through strategic partnerships and capacity-building projects. In addition, we support the universities in the further development of their internationalization concepts.

European education area

The European Education Area strives to improve access to quality education for all. The main topics of the European education area are:

What is Erasmus+?

Erasmus+ is the EU’s programme to support education, training, youth and sport in Europe.

It has an estimated budget of €26.2 billion. This is nearly double the funding compared to its predecessor programme (2014-2020).

The 2021-2027 programme places a strong focus on social inclusion, the green and digital transitions, and promoting young people’s participation in democratic life.

It supports priorities and activities set out in the European Education Area, Digital Education Action Plan and the European Skills Agenda. The programme also

  • supports the European Pillar of Social Rights
  • implements the EU Youth Strategy 2019-2027
  • develops the European dimension in sport

Opportunities

Erasmus+ offers mobility and cooperation opportunities in

  • higher education

EU-Africa cooperation in Research and Innovation

As a strategic partner, the EU seeks to enhance cooperation with Africa to promote actions targeted to finding locally adapted solutions to challenges that are global in nature, but which often hit Africa hardest.

The Comprehensive Strategy with Africa and the Global Approach to Research & Innovation are the EU’s most recent policy initiatives that prioritise Research & Innovation as a key dimension of sustainable development.

The African Union – European Union High Level Policy Dialogue (HLPD) on Science, Technology and Innovation is the policy forum where regular exchanges on research and innovation policy take place between both continents and where long-term priorities to strengthen cooperation are decided.

Four policy priorities for EU-AU cooperation in Research & Innovation are:
