DUAL-SUP : European Network for University Apprenticeship

Published on October 13, 2025 – Updated on October 13, 2025

This project aims to promote long-term mobility in Europe for apprenticeship students. It is based on common training pathways and a network of university partners, educational engineers, professionals, and companies. DUAL-SUP seeks to boost work-study programmes in higher education at the national level through the creation of a European catalogue of work-study training programmes and a network of experts.


DUAL-SUP is a project co-financed by the European Erasmus+ Programme – Cooperation Partnership. Cooperation Partnership projects in the field of higher education enable organisations to improve the quality and relevance of their activities, to develop and strengthen their partner networks, and to enhance their capacity to work jointly at the transnational level. They also promote the internationalisation of activities, facilitate the exchange or development of new practices and methods, and encourage the sharing and comparison of ideas.

DUAL-SUP will facilitate the organisation of meetings, workshops, and conferences among various stakeholders (universities, companies, students, etc.) in order to:

  • Develop European work-study training pathways
  • Create a network of European apprenticeship experts
The project, based on European double-master programmes incorporating apprenticeships, will help increase the number of students participating in the European apprenticeship system. In addition to direct mobility, it will enable the creation of a European network of experts. This will facilitate the exchange of best practices among various stakeholders (students, teachers, and professionals), thereby supporting the development and sustainability of the programme.
