  • High educational impact mobility 
    Do you have a mobility project linked to a structural or strategic change in education at UCLouvain? Is it ineligible for funding through Erasmus+? We are open to discussion and to identifying appropriate means of support. Please contact infocircleu@uclouvain.be to discuss your project.

  • Network with a Knowledge Hub or Circle U. platform (Teaching Innovation Lab, InCU.bator, etc.).
  • Undertake educational innovation training.
  • Attend events, seminars, or teacher match-making sessions.
