Financed by Erasmus+ Programme, V-Tours Project aims to increase and improve the opportunities for dialogue between Universities, students and enterprises, so that companies can play an active role in the student’s employability improvement.

On the other hand, the Project also offers to the students the participation in various virtual visits to different companies. They consist on online sessions in streaming, in which a Manager of the company introduces the organization and internal processes, and replies to the questions asked by the participants in real time.

The Project, started in 2016, pertains to the Programme Erasmus+, KA2 – Cooperation for Innovation and the Exchange of Good Practices Strategic Partnerships for Higher Education.
