Students and teachers from the Institut Technologique du Cambodge have taken part in the ERASMUS+ KA171 program, joining prestigious masters programs such as the ones at UT3 and the University of Rennes. This collaboration strengthens academic exchanges and testifies about the commitment of these establishments to international and collaborative higher education.
As part of the ERASMUS+ KA171 international mobility program, several students and teachers from the Cambodian Institute of Technology (ITC) had the opportunity to enjoy an enriching experience in France. This ambitious initiative aims to enrich academic and professional careers by promoting intercultural exchanges and scientific collaboration.
What is ERASMUS+ KA171 ?
ERASMUS+ KA171 embodies the spirit of exchange and collaboration that drives academic institutions across Europe and beyond. This funding, obtained by a consortium led by the University Sorbonne Nord Paris and comprising the Universities of Toulouse III - Paul Sabatier, Rennes and INSA Rennes, aims to support materials science at the Cambodian Institute of Technology.
For students and teachers at the Cambodian Institute of Technology, ERASMUS+ KA171 opens doors to new academic horizons in France, offering a valuable opportunity to explore a variety of educational and cultural perspectives.
This program goes far beyond the simple transfer of knowledge. It fosters genuine immersion in a different educational environment, encouraging participants to engage in enriching intellectual exchanges and develop essential intercultural skills in an increasingly connected world. The links forged between partner institutions thanks to ERASMUS+ KA171 help to strengthen international cooperation in the field of education and promote mutual understanding between peoples.
ERASMUS+ KA171 represents a gateway to new opportunities for learning and personal development, while helping to create a space for exchange and collaboration within the global academic community.
