OUR STORY

For almost 30 years, we have facilitated student and faculty exchanges amongst our network of partners. We were founded on the belief that exchange, an effective tool for building cultural understanding, is fundamentally important to making ourselves and the world a better place. It’s our mission to provide affordable educational and cultural experiences, and we partner with others who share our commitment of helping students to explore the world.

We pride ourselves on the relationships that exist amongst our members. In addition to contributing to meaningful student exchanges, these relationships can spur faculty exchanges, research, joint classes, projects and other collaboration opportunities.

COLLABORATION OPPORTUNITIES

If you would like to post an event or invitation to collaborate in some way, please contact Magellan to provide details.

• International Business Academy (IBA) in Kolding, Denmark, has been granted special funding under the Erasmus+ KA 171 program, specifically for exchanges between the IBA and U.S. institutions.  While funds last, faculty/staff members (academic and non-academic) can receive approximately 190 EUR per day, in addition to a travel grant of 1,735 EUR, for mobility periods of up to 7 days.
• UCLL University of Applied Sciences will offer an International Staff Week in December 2026. More details will be posted once available.
• Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences will offer an International Staff Week April 12-16, 2027, with the theme “Talent for Transition.” The talents of students, lecturers, and support staff are needed to move forward since talent represents the commitment to educating professionals and fulfilling our social mission. Transition reflects the rapidly changing world, with major societal challenges that require us to rethink our teaching, research, and approach. During this week, participants will focus on Purpose Driven Impact: working in an international, multi-disciplinary group to come up with solutions for how to handle these challenges.
