ZHdK continues to encourage Erasmus applications
Following the adoption of the mass immigration initiative, it is unclear what the future holds for educational cooperation between Europe and Switzerland. Nevertheless, the ZHdK encourages all students to apply for the Erasmus+ program as planned.
The Department of Economic Affairs, Education and Research (EAER) is working with the EU to develop a solution by June 2014 that will enable Swiss universities and their students to participate in Erasmus+, writes the ZHdK (Zurich University of the Arts).
The university's International Office encourages all students to apply as planned. It will work to ensure that the semester abroad can take place as planned in any case and continues to believe that politics and diplomacy will find a viable solution.
Since the adoption of the initiative on 9 February 2014, there has been uncertainty about the future of the Erasmus program in Switzerland. Negotiations for Switzerland's full participation in the new Erasmus+ program generation are currently suspended.
