As part of efforts to strengthen academic and scientific cooperation between the European Union and African nations, and to highlight opportunities for international collaboration in higher education and scientific research, the University of Abbas Laghrour – Khenchela informs the university community of an upcoming EU-Africa conference on the Erasmus+ Jean Monnet programme, to be held on November 12–13, 2026, in Brussels.
The conference is organized by the European Education and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA), with the participation of the Directorate-General for Education, Youth, Sport and Culture (DG EAC), the Directorate-General for International Partnerships (DG INTPA), and the European External Action Service (EEAS).
The event will bring together a distinguished group of African and European academics, representatives from European institutions, and ambassadors from African nations. The objective is to exchange perspectives on the future of the EU-Africa partnership, building upon the outcomes of the African Union–European Union summit held in Luanda in 2025.
