Erasmus+ Partner Countries program that enables cooperation and mobility between countries that are not either EU or EU associated countries which quite obviously broadens horizons of international cooperation to the whole world.

The results of the project prepared by our Erasmus+ team together with the faculties exceeded expectations. The University of Warmia and Mazury received almost 140 thousand euros,  which is translates to total of 43 mobilities (32 for employees and 11 for students). As for the trips of UWM staff and students, they have been planned for 14 academics and one student. 18 employees and 10 students from other universities are to come to Kortowo.

One example of planned cooperation is the cooperation of the Faculty of Geoengineering with the University of Eswatini, which concerns the planning, design and use of roads with high traffic intensity (highways and city bypasses). The University of Eswatini wants to undertake research on the bypass of Mbabane, the capital of the state, which has led to the displacement of many households in communities from the Manzini area. Joint research will allow for determining the spatial, social, environmental and economic effects of the construction of the bypass on the city and its surrounding suburban areas.

Standard agreements under the Erasmus+ program involve mobility with member states of the European Union and those associated with it. If a University wants to take other directions of scientific cooperation, it is necessary to submit such projects, which describe, among other things, the project concept, arrangements for cooperation, benefits resulting from mobility for participants, but also universities that will participate in it.

In total, the University of Warmia and Mazury will with 13 countries: Botswana, Eswatini, Chile, Bhutan, Pakistan, Kazakhstan, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Morocco, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan and Ukraine.
