The Kyrgyz National University named after Jusup Balasagyn has been working on Erasmus + KA-107 Credit Mobility with the University of Poitiers (France) since 2018. During the period of cooperation within the framework of this program, it was achieved that more than 50 KNU students studied at the University of Poitiers and more than 20 Kyrgyz European faculty (KEF) students completed the “Economics and Management” program with a “double diploma”; was organized a summer school for teaching French language. Fruitful work on this program made it possible to extend the validity of this agreement until 2026. Since 2023, Osh State University has also joined this program.

The Erasmus+ KA-107 program provides wide mobility of students and teachers and offers the following activities:

• pedagogical internship for teachers at the University of Poitiers;
• conducting guest lectures and assessment classes by teachers of the University of Poitiers;
• undergraduate studies in France for the best KEF students with the condition of obtaining a “double diploma”;
• coordination of work and curriculum plans for the Economics and Management program and validation of the assessment system.

We will be glad to further cooperation between above mentioned universities and are ready for new achievements in future collaboration.
