Erasmus+ events at FAU
Events for external guests, internal events
Over the course of the academic year the Central Office for International Affairs (RIA), led by FAU’s Erasmus+ institutional co-ordinator Bianca Köndgen, runs various internal events for FAU members and guests from other German and international universities. In addition, the DAAD’s National Agency for EU Higher Education Cooperation (in German) and other higher education institutions offer a range of seminars and workshops.
Internal events at FAU
Once a year, usually in July, the Erasmus co-ordinators’ AGM is held in the Kollegienhaus in Erlangen. This meeting involves all Erasmus department co-ordinators at FAU (around 120). Current information on implementing the programme and the financial situation for the next academic year are presented there. In addition, faculty meetings involving RIA and the international representatives are held once a year. As the different FAU faculties have different structures and different needs, these meetings enable specific problems to be discussed and solutions to be found. If required, RIA assists with international days at the faculties and information events held by individual departments.
