Proposals submitted under this topic must address the following priority: Priority 13 - National/regional support to European Universities alliances

In line with the Council Recommendation of 5 April 2022 on building bridges for effective European higher education cooperation, “deeper and more effective transnational cooperation in the higher education sector across all Europe is key to supporting Union values, identity and democracy, to building the resilience of European society and economy, and to building a sustainable future”. In this Recommendation, it is also stated that “the European Universities, and similar long-standing institutionalised cooperation models, provide useful lessons learned while testing deeper transnational cooperation models that go beyond existing individual institutional strategies, governance and collaboration ecosystems. They are a source of inspiration for the wider higher education community to drive system-level reforms while facilitating better coordination between European higher education and research policies.”

In line with the spirit of the Council conclusions of June 2021 on the European Universities initiative - Bridging higher education, research, innovation and society: Paving the way for a new dimension in European higher education, further efforts are needed at national and regional levels, to create an enabling environment for European Universities and similar long-standing institutionalised cooperation models. On top of cooperation with the European level, this requires cooperation between the national and regional authorities involved, and support of the higher education sector.

Projects under this topic are expected to:
• Improve the supporting environment for European Universities and other similar long-standing institutionalised cooperation models, both in view of related legislation, its application and provided technical support in a particular region/country;
• Improve the funding models and modalities at national/regional level of European Universities and other similar long-standing institutionalised cooperation models.

The 2019 Council Resolution on further developing the European Education Area1 invites the Commission to “Develop new means to train and support competent, motivated and highly qualified teachers, trainers, early childhood education and care (ECEC) staff, school leaders and other staff, and promote their continuous professional development and high-quality, research-based teacher education”. 

The overall objective of this action is to create European partnerships of teacher⁵ education and training providers to set up Teacher Academies that will develop a European and international outlook in teacher education.

These Academies will embrace multilingualism, language awareness and cultural diversity, develop teacher education in line with the EU’s priorities in education policy and contribute to the achievement of the objectives of the European Education Area.

The Erasmus+ Teacher Academies will meet the following objectives:

• Contribute to the improvement of teacher education policies and practices in Europe by creating networks and communities of practice on teacher education that bring together providers of initial teacher education (preservice education for future teachers) and providers of continuing professional development (in-service), other relevant actors such as teacher associations, ministries and stakeholders to develop and test strategies and programmes for professional learning that is effective, accessible and transferable to other contexts.
• Develop and test jointly different models of mobility (virtual, physical and blended) in initial teacher education and as part of teachers’ continuous professional development in order to enhance the quality and number of mobility as well as to make mobility an integral part of teacher education provision in Europe.
• Develop sustainable collaboration between teacher education providers with an impact to the quality of teacher education in Europe and with a view to inform teacher education policies at European and national levels.
• Enhance the European dimension and internationalisation of teacher education through innovative and practical collaboration with teacher educators and teachers in other European countries and by sharing experiences for the further development of teacher education in Europe.

This collaboration will address one or more of the horizontal priorities of the Erasmus+ Programme, as theme(s) for the Teacher Academy activities.

Le azioni Marie Skłodowska-Curie sono il programma di punta dell'UE per la formazione dottorale e post-dottorale, che fornisce ai ricercatori nuove conoscenze e competenze attraverso la mobilità transfrontaliera e l'esposizione a diversi settori e discipline. Le azioni Marie Skłodowska-Curie finanziano lo sviluppo di programmi di formazione dottorale e post-dottorale e progetti di ricerca collaborativi. Tali programmi hanno un impatto strutturante sugli istituti di istruzione superiore, sui centri di ricerca e su altre organizzazioni che vanno ben oltre il mondo accademico, diffondendo ampiamente l'eccellenza e stabilendo standard per l'istruzione e la formazione dei ricercatori di alta qualità.

Aree di intervento:

• sostenere i ricercatori nella loro formazione, nelle loro competenze e nello sviluppo della loro carriera;
• promuovere la mobilità transnazionale, intersettoriale e interdisciplinare;
• finanziare programmi di dottorato e post-dottorato di eccellenza e progetti di collaborazione;
• promuovere la divulgazione al pubblico.

Le azioni Marie Skłodowska-Curie hanno pubblicato il calendario indicativo degli inviti a presentare proposte per il 2024.  Le date dell'invito e il bilancio sono provvisori e saranno confermati e pubblicati sul portale delle  opportunità di finanziamento e di gara dell'UE una volta adottato il programma di lavoro riveduto di  Horizon Europe 2023-2025 in primavera.  Quest'anno, l'MSCA metterà a disposizione delle organizzazioni oltre 1,23 miliardi di euro per sostenere i  ricercatori di tutto il mondo, in tutte le fasi della loro carriera e in tutte le discipline. Il finanziamento andrà anche a beneficio delle istituzioni, sostenendo eccellenti programmi di dottorato e post-dottorato, nonché progetti di ricerca e innovazione collaborativi.

Ciò aumenterà la loro attrattiva e visibilità a livello mondiale e promuoverà la cooperazione al di là del mondo accademico, comprese le imprese, le PMI, il settore pubblico e altre organizzazioni.
