One of the most effective ways to find partners is to attend an Erasmus contact seminar. They are organised by National Agencies and take place in locations throughout Europe. Staff are eligible to apply for grants to cover both their travel and seminar fees.

There are a variety of activities involved in a seminar and each event usually lasts between three and five days. Seminars allow participants to get a head start on their projects while gaining a unique insight into both the host country and other participants' institutions and cultures. Beyond the project-related work, seminars include cultural activities ensuring an even more memorable experience.

There are currently three contact seminars being organised, one in Austria in October for Intensive Programmes, one in Lisbon and another in Istanbul in November. Please see below for further details, registration and invitations.
