1. Context and Justification
As part of the Erasmus+ program, the European Union supports academic cooperation and mobility through strategic initiatives that facilitate exchanges between higher education institutions in Europe and partner countries. Transnational Cooperation Activities (TCA), particularly Contact Seminars, are designed to promote networking and the development of new academic and scientific partnerships.
In this context, the Erasmus+ National Agencies of Hungary, Austria, and the Czech Republic, in collaboration with the Erasmus+ Morocco Office, are organizing a Contact Seminar from April 7 to 10, 2025, at Mohammed VI Polytechnic University (UM6P) in Benguerir, Morocco. This event aims to strengthen academic cooperation and stimulate the development of joint projects under the Erasmus+ program.
This seminar represents a strategic opportunity for the internationalization of Moroccan universities and the strengthening of academic ties with Europe. We hope this initiative will contribute to the creation of innovative projects and lasting collaborations in higher education and research.
2. Objectives of the Seminar
- Facilitate networking between Moroccan universities and those from Hungary, Austria, and the Czech Republic.
- Encourage the creation of new academic partnerships within the key actions of the Erasmus+ program.
- Promote the exchange of best practices in student and staff mobility, research cooperation, and the internationalization of higher education.

3. Participants
