Erasmus+ and International Mobility

Expanding Horizons. Transforming Lives.

At FUNIC Cameroon Higher Institute of Entrepreneurship and Technology, we believe that education should transcend borders. Through our international partnerships, we provide students, faculty, and staff with opportunities to learn, teach, conduct research, and collaborate across cultures.

What is Erasmus+?

Erasmus+ is the European Union's flagship programme supporting education, training, youth, and sport. The programme promotes international cooperation by funding learning mobility, institutional partnerships, innovation, and capacity building across the world.

Through Erasmus+, students and staff gain valuable international experience, strengthen intercultural competencies, and contribute to the exchange of knowledge and best practices between higher education institutions.

Learning Mobility

Students and staff travel abroad to study, teach, and train, gaining skills and experience that transform careers.

International Partnerships

Cooperation projects bring institutions together to modernise curricula and share best practices across borders.

Innovation & Capacity Building

Erasmus+ invests in innovation and institutional development, strengthening education systems around the world.

Our Erasmus+ Partnership

FUNIC is proud to partner with the Netherlands Business Academy (NLBA), Breda, The Netherlands, under the Erasmus+ programme.

This collaboration strengthens academic cooperation through:

Student mobility
Staff teaching mobility
Staff training mobility
Joint curriculum development
Faculty capacity building
Academic quality enhancement
Research collaboration
International networking

Together, FUNIC and NLBA are building a sustainable partnership that promotes excellence in higher education while creating international opportunities for both institutions.

Erasmus+ Staff Mobility

Staff Mobility in Action

Our Erasmus+ partnership is not a promise on paper — our staff have already crossed the border. In September 2026, FUNIC spent a full week at the Netherlands Business Academy in Breda for a training-for-trainers staff mobility. Here is what happened.

The visit

In September 2026, a FUNIC staff delegation travelled to Breda, the Netherlands, for a one-week Erasmus+ staff mobility hosted by the Netherlands Business Academy (NLBA). It was a training-for-trainers week: intensive sessions on modern teaching and training practice, workshops with NLBA faculty, and working meetings on the mechanics of Erasmus+ mobility between our two institutions.

A two-way exchange

The exchange went both ways. NLBA colleagues shared their practice in competency-based education, work-based learning and the mechanics of Erasmus+ international credit mobility. In return, our staff brought a Cameroonian and African perspective into NLBA classrooms and discussions — from entrepreneurship education in emerging markets to the opportunities and realities of mobility from Central Africa.

Lasting impact

Because it was a training-for-trainers mobility, the benefits multiply: the FUNIC staff trained in Breda now carry those methods into classrooms at home. Insights from the week are feeding into programme reviews and joint curriculum development, our teams hold first-hand knowledge of Erasmus+ preparation and hosting, and the groundwork is laid for the first FUNIC student mobilities to Breda.
