Erasmus+ Inter-Institutional Agreements (IIAs) (new Erasmus+ programs duration: 2022/23-2027/28)

 Tasks of the Erasmus+ Coordinators:

• Collaborate on updates/finalization of iiAs: communicate with partners (new iiAs, changes in exchange flows in existing iiAs, cancellations, etc. - for everything, please always inform incoming@fuberlin.de, thank you)
• Sending departmental information to partners and students (in/out)

The central contact person for Erasmus+ Inter-Institutional Agreements (IIAs) is Nicole Schindler (incoming@fu-berlin.de).

The following information is required to create new IIAs:

• the contact details of the person with whom you have arranged the agreement at the partner university (name and email address)

• the factsheet of the partner university

• the number of students to be exchanged in both directions per academic year

• the number of months per incoming/outgoing per academic year (i.e. 5 months per student if the exchange is to be for 1 semester - 10 months per student if the exchange is to be for 2 semesters)

• the desired level of study, i.e. BA and/or MA and/or PhD

• Name of the degree program(s) at the partner university in which the FU students may study

• Language of instruction and language level of the degree programs in which FU students may participate there

• Name of the degree program(s) at the FU in which the incoming students are allowed to study

• Language requirements and language level for the incoming students for the individual FU degree programs

• Please also let us know immediately if a lecturer exchange (STA) is already planned by one side

New IIAs can only apply for 2026/27-2027/28 from October 2024 - from October 2025 only for 2027/28.

You can check the status of the IIAs yourself:
How do I know if an iiA is ready and I can select outgoings for it?
MoveON Publisher: https://fuberlin.adv-pub.moveon4.de/austauschmoeglichkeiten/

• Enter search criteria and find university
• Search: Status des Austauschvertrags / Status of the exchange agreement (for 2022/23) - there are 3 categories here:

1. to be renewed: partner has places and iiA not yet confirmed
2. automatic renewal: partner has confirmed places and iiA on paper contract or via email (iiA must still be concluded in the new system by August/September 2022, but is valid for 2022/23 for the time being)
3. status of the exchange agreement / Status of the exchange agreement (for 2022/23) is not listed at all = partner has confirmed places and iiA (agreement has been extended via EWP and is ready)

Important: If a student exchange at master's level is agreed upon in an IIA, it must be clarified in which exact master's program the incoming students may be enrolled at Freie Universität. This must be discussed in advance with the responsible master's representative at Freie Universität and the corresponding consent must be submitted to Nicole Schindler (incoming@fu-berlin.de).

Please note that Erasmus+ IIAs are completed centrally via the EWP (Erasmus Without Papers) platform. As legal representative, the President of the Free University of Berlin has authorized the Erasmus+ university coordinator Gesa Heym and the contact person for the Erasmus+ IIA, Nicole Schindler, to sign the Erasmus+ IIA electronically via the EWP platform.
