Award ceremony at the Palais Wertheim in Vienna
This was followed by an award ceremony at Palais Wertheim in Vienna at the “Europe on the Move!” event. All award winners were once again brought onto the big stage and honored by Secretary General Martin Netzer (BMBWF) and OeAD Managing Director Jakob Calice. The evening was hosted by Nina Kraft. Entertainment was provided by the Theater am Bahnhof with an improv show. The DJ crew from the Firefly Club association took the guests on a musical journey.
“We are delighted to receive the Erasmus+ Award for our university of applied sciences. It is recognition of our joint efforts and our institution’s commitment to international mobility and sustainable educational impulses,” said a delighted Florian Eckkrammer (Managing Director of UAS Technikum Wien).
First organizations to receive Erasmus+ and ESK Award
For the first time in the new program generation of Erasmus+ and the European Solidarity Corps (2021-2027), organizations were awarded the Erasmus+ and ESK Award 2023 this year. The award is given to organizations that participate in the Erasmus+ programme with mobility projects and achieve a particularly sustainable positive impact on the participants, their organization and beyond through the implementation of these projects. The Erasmus+ Award is presented to three organizations per programme area (vocational training, adult education, higher education, youth, school education).
“On the one hand, this award is a great honor and distinction for past achievements, but also an obligation to continue to be innovative and to strengthen our students in their global perspective in order to master the challenges of tomorrow,” says Sylvia Geyer (Rector UAS Technikum Wien).
All organizations that achieve sustainable impact through the implementation of mobility projects (KA1 projects) in Erasmus+ or volunteer projects in the European Solidarity Corps (ESK) could submit an application for the award.
National Agency for Erasmus+ and European Solidarity Corps in Austria
As the national agency for Erasmus+ and the European Solidarity Corps in Austria, the OeAD supports thousands of stays abroad every year. In the Erasmus+ education sector, up to 240,000 participants from Austria from the four sectors of higher education, school education, vocational education and training and adult education are expected to become mobile with Erasmus+ during the 2021-2027 program period. That is an average of around 34,300 people per year.
