🌍 Menneisyyden painolasti vai tulevaisuuden avoimuus? Timo Miettinen kirjoittaa joulukuun Erasmus+ -asiakaskirjeessä Euroopan historiasta, kulttuurista ja haasteista: 📖 Eurooppalainen kulttuuri elää jatkuvassa vuoropuhelussa: "Se on tanssia, kuvataidetta ja kirjallisuutta – mutta myös poliittista aktivismia ja uudenlaisten yhteisöllisyyden muotojen kehittämistä." Euroopan historia on nähtävä muutoksen välineenä. Miettinen muistuttaa myös, että 💡 Demokratian vahvuus perustuu ajatukseen, että instituutioita ja lakeja voidaan muuttaa – ja tulevaisuus voi olla avoin. 🔗 Lue lisää Timo Miettisen ajatuksia joulukuun Erasmus+ -asiakaskirjeestä ja tilaa samalla asiakaskirjeen tulevat numerot omaan sähköpostiisi: https://lnkd.in/daqeAr4b #ErasmusPlus #ErasmusPlusFI #Kansainvälisyys #Eurooppa #Korkeakoulutus #Kulttuuri #Demokratia #AktiivinenKansalaisuus

📢 The additional grants of Autumn 2024 deadline for Erasmus+ european mobility has been awarded to Finnish HEIs 💰 Altogether five higher education institutions applied for a total of EUR 512,225 in additional funding. Additional grants totalling EUR 418,605 were awarded to all applicant institutions. 📚 The higher education institutions applied for additional funding because they are implementing more mobilities than were estimated at the time of the original allocation. The additional grants were calculated per activity type by multiplying the institutions' new, higher number of mobilities by the same unit cost rates as in the original allocation. Due to the available budget, the awarded funding was subsequently reduced to 85 percent of the calculated amount. ♻️ After the additional grants now awarded, a small amount of approximately EUR 60,000 remains available for the February 2025 deadline for additional grants. In addition, EDUFI can redistribute funds estimated to be returned in the interim reports to other higher education institutions through overbooking. 🔎 You can check the institution- and activity type -specific awarded amounts on the Results of the application rounds of European mobility page at: https://lnkd.in/dBixWEuM (in Finnish and Swedish).
