Erasmus+<\/a> is one of the most known programs of the European Union (EU), supporting education, training, youth, and sport. Erasmus+ is a very wide program, covering a diverse range of actions, among them Capacity Building in Higher Education.\u00a0<\/p>

The National Erasmus+ Offices (NEO) of Morocco, Israel, Georgia and in collaboration with EACEA hosted a large-scale global conference called \u2018’Erasmus+ CBHE Virtual Fair’ in October 2021. This event was a unique opportunity for representatives of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) from around the globe to connect, learn from successful projects funded under Erasmus+, get inspiration for new projects and look for new partners in view of creating quality partnerships under Erasmus.<\/p>

Einav Livne, the Director and Coordinator at NEO Israel, Dr. Lika Glonti, Head of the NEO Georgia, and Alexander Stelz,\u00a0 Project Manager from EACEA, tell us how Airmeet helped them hosting such a large-scale global conference and providing a seamless networking experience to their registrants.<\/p>

Regarding the conference,\u00a0 Einav shared, \u201cIt was a very large event. Over 3000 people registered for it. Many higher education institutions from all over the world joined.\u00a0<\/p>

They were responsible for the capacity-building project in different fields like health, food, engineering, empowerment of social groups, teacher education, etc. Anything that can actually help build capacity and bring expertise and knowledge in the field of higher education to institutions all over the world.\u201d<\/p>

Lika said, \u201cIt was a 2-day event. First, there was a short introduction; then, it was split into thematic groups where we gave opportunities to the projects to present themselves. The sessions were in the form of either a presentation or training.\u201d<\/p>

On choosing Airmeet, Einav said, \u201cThere were several options that we checked, but Airmeet was the platform that seemed to fit best. The Airmeet pricing was fair as well. Hence, we chose it.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Einav mentioned, \u201cWe were looking for an online platform to host an event with people from all over the world and also showcase the results of higher education capacity building projects.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

They conceived of doing a joint conference to showcase the projects. It grew into a global event that anyone could participate in.\u00a0<\/p>

She further went on to say, \u201cThe goal was to attract as many institutions from across the world to get inspired from successful projects
previously carried out so that they could design their own capacity-building project customized to their specific context and needs. Also, we wanted that when they saw the project, they would learn from it and could implement the output in their higher education institutions themselves.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

Lika mentioned, \u201cAfter this event, we had two other events on different platforms. There was one platform where we were supposed to present our posters, but it just didn\u2019t work.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
