“Erasmus+ Aiming Higher: Mediterranean Bridges Across Africa and Europe for
Shared Academic” took place in Tunis, Tunisia, between April 20 and 23, 2026. Pathways”. It was a training and cooperation activity
(TCA) of the Erasmus+ program, in which Iscte has an active presence, and which allowed us to
consolidate a reference presence in the area of Humanitarian Response.
Higher education institutions from Europe and Africa participated in the meeting, focused on developing strategic partnerships, strengthening intercontinental dialogue and creating joint academic paths that are more integrated and sustainable.
Throughout the seminar - in which Alejandra Ortiz Scaglione, director of the International Relations Office (IRO) represented Iscte - the strengthening of academic mobility and the development of joint teaching and research initiatives were discussed. These Erasmus + meetings play a strategic role in building bridges between continents and strengthening more inclusive, innovative and resilient educational systems.
Particular emphasis was given to Erasmus Mundus Joint Master on
Coordinated Humanitarian Response, Health and Displacement, which plays a central role in Iscte's internationalization strategy. This program is distinguished by its innovative character and the strong integration of African partners, being one of the first Erasmus Mundus to include a full academic semester taught by an African institution - Makerere University, in Uganda.
The consortium also includes partners from Portuguese-speaking African countries, namely Cape Verde and Mozambique, promoting articulation between English- and Portuguese-speaking African academic contexts, a commitment to balanced cooperation between the two continents.
