"Warwick’s relationship with Europe is built on many years of collaboration, shared academic interests, and a commitment to addressing global challenges together. Our partnerships span a wide range of disciplines and make a valuable contribution to our Education and Research activities, connecting us with leading institutions across the continent. Through joint research projects, student mobility, and active participation in European networks, these relationships continue to develop and strengthen.
With the UK announcing its return to the Erasmus+ programme, we look forward to deepening these connections further. This renewed participation will support new opportunities for collaboration, student exchange, and community building, helping us work collectively on the issues and opportunities that lie ahead" Professor George Christou, Deputy Pro-Vice-Chancellor for Europe
