The French Erasmus+ National Agency for Education and Training organizes a European seminar entitled“Challenges and Transitions in Architecture,Erasmus+ for tomorrow’s European architects”« Architecture et Territoires en transition, le programme Erasmus+ en appui pour former l’architecte européen de demain » from 1 June to 4 June 2026 in Paris.

This Erasmus+ seminar (Training and Cooperation Activities - TCA) is addressed to teachers-researchers, administrative staff (heads of studies, heads of international relations, etc.) and students’ representatives. It will enable participants to explore the challenges associated with current issues in architecture education by grasping the added value of European and international cooperation, to cope with the realities of territories, climate changes, and multidisciplinary teaching. 

The TCA will bring together 35 European and 25 French participants and will be an opportunity for French Higher Education Institutions of Architecture and Landscape and their European counterparts to meet around common issues and compare their teaching and learning practices. The aim will be to lay the foundations for new collaborations by translating their issues into Blended Intensive Programs (BIPs) or cooperation partnerships within the framework of the Erasmus+ programme.
