During the week of 9th to 12th September 2024, the Erasmus+ Projects Office of the Vice-Rectorate for Internationalisation held several information sessions across the UCA's 4 campuses on the management, development, and submission of Erasmus+ International Cooperation project proposals.
This action was presented by the Director General of European Projects, Fernando Pérez, and the three technicians from the Vice-Rectorate of Erasmus+ projects, Javier Izquierdo, Mariló Gómez, and Chus Latorre. The team provided information on the support the office offers during the generation, submission, management, and closure of projects across various Erasmus+ modalities.
Projects commonly presented as partners or coordinators in Erasmus+ projects, such as Cooperation Partnerships, Capacity Building projects, and Jean Monnet projects, were showcased.
