Erasmus Middle East
Building what comes next
An independent institutional platform for cooperation between two regions defined by opportunity.
Discussions on capacity building for the non-profit sector, national models and joint studies — paving the way for a partnership agreement.
During HRSE 2026, Emdad by Elm and Erasmus Middle East Investments signed a partnership agreement to unify expertise and expand collaboration.
The Saudi Facilities Management Association (SFMA) and Erasmus take a new step towards supporting the transformation of facilities operations and enabling national competencies.
Europe’s official cooperation platforms are where partnerships, funding and results become visible. We guide Saudi and regional institutions to the programmes that fit their objective — from Erasmus+ to entrepreneur exchanges — so every engagement starts at the right door.
Featured platform
Explore the results of cooperation projects funded across Europe.
Six engines of cooperation. Every capability sits under one cross-border institutional platform — not six businesses, but six mechanisms that share the same partners, the same standards and the same delivery team.
04
One partner. Multiple organizations. One quality framework.
International cooperation usually fails for one simple reason: organizations meet, but nobody builds the system between them. That gap is where Erasmus Middle East operates.

Flagship initiative
Funding, partners, expertise and opportunities — one platform connecting both regions.
Work in progress, not a portfolio archive. Six workstreams are active across Saudi Arabia and Europe right now — each one exists because a specific institution asked for something that did not yet have a mechanism behind it.
Europe is not one partner. It’s an ecosystem. We mobilize the right organization for the right opportunity — not the biggest name on the list — across universities, NGOs, foundations, companies, research institutions and professional networks.
