Third Call for Arqus Twinning 2.0 Projects

Arqus on the Move launches the third call for Twinning projects for the academic year 2026/2027.

Arqus Twinning 2.0 aims to strengthen subject-related collaboration of staff and students and create possibilities to carry out joint learning and teaching activities through piloting short-term mobility schemes. Twinnings 2.0 are based on the mobility of two groups from two different Arqus universities, reciprocally visiting each other’s partner institution to carry out a common programme and share mutual learning experiences.

Twinning activities may vary in their mode and type. They have to consist of activities with learning objectives and may include group trips, participation in international contests, joint workshops, summer schools, group projects, conferences, etc. Twinning activities might be implemented through regular (physical) mobility or blended teaching/learning.

Arqus Twinning 2.0 activities are carried out in reciprocity between the partners involved in two phases, meaning that each university will send its group to visit the counterpart to carry out the programme foreseen in the application. The additional virtual component is not mandatory but highly recommended.

Furthermore, Twinning 2.0 promotes the Alliance’s main themes: European Identity heritage; Artificial intelligence and digital transformation; Climate change and environmental sustainability.

The call is open until 31 May 2026. More information and the application process are available here.
