As part of the renewal of the Erasmus+ program, Faculty 5 is working on joint faculty contracts in the future. Thus, the processes of student mobility shall be simplified and the offer of partner universities for all divisions shall be extended. Furthermore, new partner universities, especially in English-speaking countries, are to be included.
