The Alliances for innovation are structured partnerships bringing together businesses, higher education institutions and VET to work on more innovative forms of teaching and learning.

Alliances for innovation are a new initiative of the Erasmus Programme 2021/2027 that merge the former “knowledge alliances” and the “sectoral skills alliances”. Innovation is their main objective and “raison d’être,” including innovation to improve the relevance and employability-focus of education and training. Alliances for Innovation design and deliver new multidisciplinary curricula and innovative courses and involve students and professors in learning through solving real-world business problems.
