Building on its tradition of bringing the latest developments in Erasmus+ into the spotlight while integrating wider European policy and global perspectives, What’s New in Brussels? 2027 will focus on the transition towards the next generation of Erasmus+ (2028–2034). The programme will offer engaging plenary discussions with EU policymakers and higher education stakeholders, interactive thematic parallel sessions and plenty of networking opportunities. From the future Erasmus+ budget and programme architecture to talent attraction, European Universities alliances, mobility, inclusion and international cooperation, the seminar will explore what lies ahead and how institutions can prepare for the next programme cycle.
