Competitions and success stories

A personal exchange with someone who has already gone through what you are about to do is often the icing on the cake. Perhaps you were a participant or attendee at one of the many International Days often offered by universities prior to your stay abroad and exchanged ideas with other students there? 

Support the next generation of students who still have their stay abroad ahead of them and stand by them with questions and answers as an Erasmus Ambassador at one of the International Days of your university. Your tips and stories are absolutely valuable and should be passed on!

International Days are usually held at the beginning of each semester, sometimes only once per academic year. You can also find the already announced International Days on our events page. So keep your eyes open for the dates at your university and register with us as an Erasmus ambassador.

Thesis Award. Contribution to a research report. Offer for a PhD position. These are just a few ways your stay abroad can become a success story . We are curious and would love to share your special milestones and experiences to inspire others interested and show that a stay abroad can be so much more. 

Send us an email and tell us about your personal story - we will then find a suitable format together and put your personal story online!
