We are happy to inform you about yet another Erasmus+ project that we have been given the opportunity to participate in. The project has officially began on 1st September 2025 and it will last for 24 months.
The Bridges to Belonging Project is focused on the provision of sustainable integration strategies for European Higher Education Institutions, especially in the context of fostering cross-border cooperation, knowledge sharing, and supporting Ukrainian HEIs as well as Ukrainian students.
