Erasmus+ Days 2026 @ VMI

Erasmus+ Days 2026 @ VMI

Growing Skills. Building Connections. Shaping a Sustainable Future.

The VMI is celebrating the Erasmus+ Days once again – and this year is a special one: the Erasmus+ Days are celebrating their 10th edition! From October 12–23, you can look forward to a variety of events all about international exchange, studying abroad, internships, and short- and long-term mobility opportunities. Whether you are already thinking about going abroad, want to hear about the experiences of other students, or simply feel like connecting with our international community over coffee and snacks – join us and discover where Erasmus+ can take you!

This year’s theme, “Learning and growing: skills for tomorrow”, puts the focus on the skills, experiences and connections that help us shape our future. Erasmus+ is about much more than studying abroad: it opens doors to international experiences, new perspectives, intercultural exchange and personal growth.

To celebrate, the VMI has prepared a diverse programme bringing together international exchange, learning, culture, community and sustainability. PLEASE REGISTER IN ADVANCE!
