KOOR - Erasmus Services BW
Largest Erasmus consortium in Germany and competent service provider
KOOR - Erasmus Services BW, where KOOR stands for "Koordinierungsstelle für die Praktischen Studiensemester der Fachhochschulen in Baden-Württemberg / Baden Württemberg Partnership for the Exchange of Students, Graduates and Knowlege Transfer", is an Erasmus consortium founded in 1975 as central institution of the state of Baden-Württemberg with headquarters at the University of Applied Sciences Karlsruhe.
Currently, there are cooperation agreements with 41 universities regarding the handling of mobilities under Key Action 1 under Erasmus+. Among them are 9 universities, 22 universities of applied sciences and 11 universities of art and music. The core area is the management and handling of the Erasmus Internship Program for all 41 partners. In addition, KOOR - Erasmus Services BW takes over the area of study visits and staff mobility for 10 partners.
The primary goal is to open up the possibility of a work and/or study experience abroad in Europe to a possible high number of students and graduates in Baden-Württemberg. On a qualitative level, the aim is to provide extensive assistance to students, graduates, teaching and administrative staff of the universities participating in the consortium, so that the path to a stay abroad is facilitated.
