It would appear from public statements made by its rector and messages posted on its official site that Türkiye’s Gaziantep Islamic University of Science and Technology, which receives subsidies under the Erasmus+ programme, openly supports terrorist organisations and puts on classes and events that do not uphold the principles of gender equality and non-discrimination.
In its report on the implementation of the Erasmus+ programme, Parliament (at the encouragement of Renew Europe) voted in favour of the Commission consistently following up ‘on any indications that an accredited beneficiary does not respect European values’ and taking ‘appropriate action’ in such cases.
- 1.Can the Commission say what students on an exchange at the Gaziantep Islamic University of Science and Technology will be taught?
- 2.Will the Commission be more rigorous in future? What procedures will it put in place to keep a closer eye on the beneficiaries of Erasmus+ funds to ensure they uphold European values?
