Towards International Collaboration: Uzbekistan at the EAIE 2025 Conference!

From 9–12 September 2025, the 35th Annual Conference of the European Association for International Education (EAIE) gathered more than 7,000 participants from 106 countries under the theme “GO-create”.
The event featured a wide range of discussions on the future of international higher education, including Erasmus+ priorities and new opportunities for cooperation.

 
Key topics included:
- Shaping Erasmus+ mobility and cooperation actions for 2028–2034;
- Lump-sum management in Erasmus+ cooperation projects;
- Capacity Building in Higher Education and its link to EU external priorities;
- Strategies for successful Erasmus+ KA171 applications;
- Digitalisation and innovative approaches in Erasmus+ project management.

Representing Uzbekistan, Aziza Abdurakhmanova, Coordinator of the National Erasmus+ Office, actively participated in the sessions and networking meetings. Her engagements with Erasmus+ project representatives and European universities created new pathways for collaboration and will contribute to developing stronger proposals and sustainable partnerships within EU-funded programmes.

Participation in EAIE 2025 marks another important step in strengthening Uzbekistan’s role in the global higher education community.
