Unspent Erasmus funds to help UK mobility scheme to fly
Universities in the United Kingdom and mainland Europe are not waiting for invitations to bid for grants from the UK government’s new Turing Scheme before securing their own bilateral agreements to allow students and staff on exchanges to continue, following the British government’s decision to pull the UK out of the EU-funded Erasmus+ programme.
One Spanish university has already clinched institutional agreements with 40 UK universities so that two-way exchanges can be offered in the 2021-22 academic year, with a pledge to use its own funds to guarantee outbound mobility to the UK if unspent Erasmus+ grants are insufficient to cover the cost.
