The Erasmus+ Programme is a competitive European Union-based program that funds short-term faculty and student mobilities between universities in order to create new educational opportunities. Loyola University was awarded a two year grant which provides travel funding to faculty in the humanities and social sciences in order to share lectures with the global academic community. The visiting faculty hold public lectures, meet with faculty and students of their host university, and learn more about their host city. Loyola faculty Elizabeth Hopwood (English/Digital Humanities) and Theodore Karamanski (History) will be visiting the Akademia Ignatianum this academic year as representatives of Loyola. Participating in this grant is part of the university's larger commitment to building connections with Jesuit institutions around the globe. Loyola also has an Erasmus+ grant with Universidad Loyola Andalucia, Spain.
