Erasmus+ is the EU's programme for international exchanges and collaborations, and for Linköping University (LiU), our participation in the programme is an important part of the university's internationalisation efforts. As the Erasmus coordinator, I am responsible for LiU's overall participation in the Erasmus programme and am LiU's contact person with the Swedish Council for Higher Education. I am responsible for the mobility component within Erasmus+, which includes framework applications, reporting, and budget work. I also disseminate information about the programme and represent LiU in local and national networks. I work to develop opportunities for international collaborations and mobility in accordance with the programme in cooperation with faculties and departments. The role also includes monitoring developments and being informed about what is happening in the field at local, national, and European levels. An important part of my duties is also to drive the work of implementing the commitments and priorities within the Erasmus programme.
In my role as team leader, I develop the operations together with the Director of Internationalisation, the Unit Manager, and the team based on continuous needs analysis. In this role, I act as a link between the Unit Manager and the team and am part of the unit's management group.
