On 9 December 2025, participants took part in an Information Day dedicated to individual opportunities for youth, students, graduates, teachers, and youth workers. During the event, current opportunities for international academic and youth mobility were presented, along with the activities of the Erasmus Student Network in Ukraine and the specific features of participation in Erasmus Mundus Joint Master’s Programmes. Particular attention was paid to the practical experience of Ukrainian participants in academic and youth exchanges.

On 10 December 2025, a round table entitled “The European Union Erasmus+ Programme: Current Opportunities for Ukrainian Participants” was held, aimed at representatives of university management and international cooperation units of higher education institutions. The event addressed national priorities for Ukraine’s participation in the Erasmus+ 2026 calls, Ukraine’s path towards associated participation in the Erasmus+ Programme, the implementation of international technical assistance projects, inclusiveness in international academic mobility, as well as the role of educational information systems and networks, including Eurydice, Europass, EQF, Euroguidance, Eurodesk, and DOCU/CLUB.
