In a joint statement, Universities UK<\/strong> and European University Association<\/strong> said the move would \u201copen transformative opportunities for thousands of students and staff.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vivienne Stern, <\/strong>chief executive of Universities UK, said the industry looked forward to working with partners \u201cto ensure that the programme plays a pivotal role in rebuilding our international partnerships and delivers the best possible outcomes for the UK.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The French umbrella group, France Universit\u00e9s, also said it was a welcome news,<\/strong>noting that \u201cthe UK became an active participant in the Erasmus programme soon after its launch in 1987, so the decision to associate again in 2027 will be a kind of 40th anniversary.<\/strong>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They said they hoped the UK\u2019s return would give French students a chance to restart their \u201clifelong love affair\u201d with Britain.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCompared with the Erasmus+ programme the UK withdrew from, however, the current Erasmus+ programme is more skills-oriented, so there is ample room for giving new orientations to our relationship with the UK through the programme.<\/strong>\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
