From the 27th-28th May 2024, EMMIR Primary Coordinator, Dr. Lydia Potts, attended the Erasmus Mundus 20th Anniversary Conference in Brussels, Belgium.

Dr. Lydia Potts attended the 20th Anniversary Conference for Erasmus Mundus programmes in Brussels, Belgium.

The event included speeches and sessions on the impact of Erasmus Mundus, celebrating the programme's successes over the last 20 years, and looking at ways to enhance global visibility, excellence, and inclusiveness in the future.

During the event, an impact study was presented, which highlighted that around 38,000 scholarship holders and 50,000 students have been enrolled in Erasmus Mundus Master's degrees over the years.

EMMIR's Primary Coordinator, Dr. Lydia Potts, met with the programme's main contact point to the European Commission, Franz Thomas Steidele, Project Advisor at the European Education and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA).

The event was a fantastic way to celebrate the achievements of Erasmus Mundus programmes and of all the students who have taken part in them. EMMIR is proud to be part of this massive and successful European project as an Erasmus Mundus Joint Master (EMJM).
