Universities UK International says UK must make ‘stronger commitment’ to next round of Erasmus+
A vice-chancellors’ group has expressed alarm over the government’s lukewarm commitment to the Erasmus+ exchange programme, warning of economic damage if the UK fails to take part.
On 9 March, Universities UK International (UUKi) stressed that “time is running out” for the government to secure the UK’s place in the next Erasmus+ scheme, starting in 2021. UK students can take part in the current Erasmus+ programme, which ends this year, but participation in the next round of the scheme depends on the outcome of the UK’s trade talks with the EU.
