On October 12, 2022, the ERASMUS+ team of UTM took part in the celebration of the 35th year anniversary of the longest, most extensive and successful educational program of the European Union, the ERASMUS+ program. The event was organized by the National Erasmus+ Office together with the Delegation of the European Union to the Republic of Moldova and the Ministry of Education and Research of the Republic of Moldova.
Erasmus+ is a European Union program that aims to contribute to economic growth, social equity and inclusion, as well as education and training. The program also aims to promote the sustainable development of higher education in partner countries and contribute to the achievement of the objectives of the EU strategy.
The event took place at Clasa Viitorului within the “Ion Creangă” State Pedagogical University, bringing together students, young people interested in Erasmus experiences, teaching staff, but also state officials, representatives of embassies of EU states and NGOs for youth and education.
On this occasion, representatives from universities in the country organized the fair of Erasmus+ projects. During the exhibition, the UTM ERASMUS+ team presented the projects implemented in partnership with the EU, referring to the positive impact they had on the education and training system in the Republic of Moldova.
Currently, UTM is a partner in 44 Erasmus+ projects. The total number of students and university staff who have benefitted from mobility in the last 5 years is more than 300. Within the TEMPUS/Erasmus projects, UTM has carried out more than 30 international projects as a coordinator or partner. Among these projects, some focused on the restructuring and modernization of the educational system of the Republic of Moldova, the implementation of the Bologna system, the consolidation of university autonomy, the implementation of active teaching and learning methods and other issues related to the modernization of the institutional management system.
For over a quarter of a century, the Erasmus program continues to support open-mindedness and change lives in Moldova.
