Global Gateway is investing in quality education, including digital education, with a life-long learning perspective, in line with the Sustainable Development Goals. Particular attention is being paid to the inclusion of girls and women and other vulnerable groups that often show lower school attendance. We will assist partner countries to transform their education systems and address deficits in teaching, training, and learning at all levels.
We will also facilitate the mobility of students, staff, teachers, and trainees, and strengthen networksand peer learning across higher education institutions. The extended Erasmus+ programme opens such opportunities for people from all over the world.
The EU is also working with partner countries to strengthen cooperation on research and innovation. Horizon Europe, the world’s biggest publicly funded multilateral research and innovation programme, offers researchers and innovators outside Europe the opportunity to participate in EU-funded collaborative research and innovation actions.
Enhanced cooperation on space technologies and space-enabled applications from the EU Copernicus and Galileo/EGNOS programmes will help support global efforts to adapt to climate change and weather extremes, tackle pollution, protect people, the environment and biodiversity, promote ocean governance and ensure sustainable agri-food systems.
