Erasmus+ partnerships

Erasmus+ partnerships contribute to international collaborations on a large or small scale through partnership projects.

Partnerships for cooperation

Partnerships for cooperation enable participating organisations to gain experience in international cooperation, strengthen their capacity, and produce high-quality innovative results. This is an opportunity for KTH to seek funding for projects that improve the quality and innovativeness of learning and teaching, develop new curricula, build bridges between education sectors and promote more intensive forms of cooperation to achieve modernisation goals, including a better use of open educational resources.
