Erasmus & VLIRUOS – a winning team for impactful projects in East-Africa
September 2024 - In this Community Talk, Tom Peeters and Dirk Van Merode presented ongoing and passed projects, both VLIRUOS and Erasmus+, and how they are interlinked.
From their experience, they would like to present the strengths and weaknesses, good practices, and challenges of different funding schemes. And obviously, they would like to emphasis the strength of the model of universities of applied sciences and arts in development cooperation.
The IT department at AP (University of Applied Sciences and Arts) is active in a multitude of projects in the Global South. It is a strategic decision, to enhance the quality of our own education, by cooperating in international projects, for the development of an international curriculum and internationally benchmarking our own courses with our European and African partners.
To ensure the most efficient use of our resources, it is our vision to align all our projects. These synergies in fact lead to more opportunities and increased quality of all outcomes, outputs, and events.
