Building on the vision of annually bringing the latest novelties of the Erasmus+ programme to the spotlight while integrating global perspectives, the What’s new in Brussels? 2024 agenda offers informative and interactive panels, thematic hands-on parallel sessions, and plenty of networking opportunities. This year’s programme features an introductory informal chat between policy representatives on the policy agenda novelties in 2024 at EU level, followed by an interactive deep dive into the Erasmus+ midterm evaluation. Next are two sets of parallel sessions on Erasmus+ initiatives under the horizontal priorities (Blended Intensive Programmes and Inclusion & Diversity support), updates related to the development and implementation of the flagship initiatives (International Credit Mobility, the European Universities alliances, Joint European Degree label and legal status pilots) and some cross-cutting topics like financial simplification. The concluding panel on responsible internationalisation will facilitate a thought-provoking discussion and update on the implementation of knowledge security vs. knowledge diplomacy, and balance in cooperation at national and institutional levels. For a deeper dive into what will  be concretely tackled in each session, we invite you to read the programme. 

Don’t miss out on connecting with experienced colleagues from across Europe to directly raise your questions and concerns with relevant policy-makers, institutional representatives and stakeholders in higher education, and to return home inspired and ready for a new year of Erasmus+ initiatives and projects! 

We look forward to welcoming you on 25-26 January in Brussels!
