garagErasmus Foundation is glad to welcome you to its Annual Meeting in Malta, to celebrate a new milestone for the future of education 

Together, we’ll be celebrating the 2023 Year of Skills and will gather our members from all over Europe.

From the 7th to the 8th of September, we will have the opportunity to discuss about the importance of this alliance in the life of young professionals.

This event will be the ideal opportunity to strengthen the links between our partner foundations (universities, companies and local associations), to promote our work to our institutional stakeholders (National Agencies, European Parliament and European Commission) and to build new perspectives for the future of international students, trainees and young professionals.
