Symposium on Erasmus+ Academic Mobility Program Held at Princess Sumaya University for Technology

Princess Sumaya University for Technology hosted a symposium on managing the Erasmus+ Academic Mobility Program in cooperation with the National Erasmus+ Office. The event brought together representatives from 21 Jordanian universities and experts in international academic exchange.

Speaking on behalf of the university president, Prof. Wejdan Abu Elhaija, the director of the External Relations Unit, Dr. Sufyan Al-Majali, said that PSUT is widely recognized as one of the leading universities in Jordan in adopting Erasmus+ programs and was among the first to apply the European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS).

He added that international academic mobility is more than student or staff exchange; it is a key part of modern higher education that strengthens mutual understanding, builds international partnerships, and prepares future leaders and innovators. It also reinforces PSUT’s global presence and commitment to diversity, academic excellence, and international engagement.

Prof. Ahmed Abu Elhaija, Director of the National Erasmus+ Office in Jordan, said that since 2015, the Erasmus+ program has supported over 8,000 academic mobility opportunities between Jordanian higher education institutions and European partners, benefiting students, faculty, and staff. He noted this has improved the competitiveness of Jordanian institutions and their engagement with global experiences. Dr. Abu Elhaija emphasized the annual meeting’ role in building capacity to manage International Academic Mobility projects and thanked the European Union for its ongoing support of higher education.

Fabian Schafer, Higher Education Program Officer at the EU Delegation to Jordan, stressed the importance of strengthening international academic partnerships and expanding cultural and scientific exchange opportunities for students and faculty.

The symposium featured sessions covering how to apply for academic mobility projects, select European partners, manage agreements, ensure participant inclusion, recognition of academic credits, and handle monitoring, evaluation, and quality assurance.
