About Euclides

As early as 1989, 7 engineering colleges decided to meet in Ghent, Belgium and discuss international collaboration via the new Erasmus programme, among them ISEP Porto, Universitat de Girona, KAHO Sint-Lieven, DIT Dublin, KHLIM, Karel De Grote Hogeschool, HIKempen. A few years later 3 Erasmus networks were active with 17 partners, including also FH Aalen, ISIB Bruxelles, FH Merseburg, EIGSI La Rochelle and University of Udine.

After years of active student and staff exchanges all through the 90s, 11 Erasmus intensive programmes and numerous other projects, the group decided to keep on working together in a network after the reform of the Erasmus programme. And so it was at FH Darmstadt in 2000, that the Euclides network was founded.

At the moment the organisation has 23 members and is represented in 9 countries.

At present the Euclides network focusses on the organisation of international weeks but we are always looking for new opportunities to co-create international programmes and course modules.

Our Mission

To facilitate student and staff exchange
and generally promote collaboration amongst the network members by providing information about available positions, travel information, job opportunities, etc

To set up and complete research projects
trough co-operation and exchange of knowledge. Moreover projects and developments of private companies in the fields of technology and engineering (European Community´s Projects Management, for Education and Research).

To stimulate contacts and co-operation with private companies
to intentionally promote links for students’ industrial placements and to sustain a constant awareness of technological or other developments in the private sector.

To exchange information and expertise
in engineering and technology, moreover to expand the input of knowledge that we offer to our students.
