The Erasmus Days were created in 2017 by the Erasmus+ Agency in France to celebrate the successes of the Erasmus program, which was launched in 1987. The 10th edition of this event will take place from October 12 to 17, 2026. For this edition, the University of Lille is organizing a full week of events centered on the theme of “skills” and invites the university community to come together to participate in these events that highlight the projects and opportunities offered by Erasmus+ at the university. For students, academics and researchers, administrative staff, and, more broadly, all citizens, the Erasmus Days offer a unique opportunity to promote the many benefits of the program, including international mobility, staff and academics training, and the development of European projects.
