New developments for Erasmus+
Switzerland could be rejoining Erasmus+ by 2027. At least this is what the Federal Council wants. Our news ticker informs you about the key stages in the reassociation process, which would strengthen cooperation with the European Union in the field of exchange and mobility.

Erasmus+ in the package of agreements between the EU and Switzerland
Negotiations between Switzerland and the European Union have come to a conclusion on Friday. The two partners have reached a global agreement that includes Erasmus+ and Horizon Europe. A re-association with Erasmus+ would then take place in 2027, once the parliamentary debate and the necessary steps linked to accreditation have been completed.
This is excellent news for Movetia, as it would provide the Swiss education system with unrestricted access to the offers, network and tools of the European education programme. This is an important step towards strengthening the quality of education, facilitating the exchange of best practices and stimulating the transfer of innovation for the Swiss economy of the future.

Switzerland could be joining Erasmus+ in 2027
At its meeting on 6 November, the Federal Council took a decision in principle on Switzerland's association with Erasmus+. It will submit the financing decision to Parliament as part of the message on the overall package for negotiations with the European Union. This would enable Switzerland to join the European education programme Erasmus+ in 2027.
Movetia is delighted with this decision, which gives a clearer and more concrete perspective to Switzerland's association with the Erasmus+ programme. Although Parliament will still have to adopt a position, the direction taken by the Federal Council means that the national agency and all those involved in education in Switzerland will be able to prepare for this possibility over the next two years.
