Abstract
The aim of this study is to examine the partnership networks established in the projects under the titles of Adult Education and Higher Education within the scope of the Erasmus+ Programme. In this study, a topological examination of the networks formed by higher education and adult education projects coordinated by Türkiye, completed in the last five years (until 10.09.2024), was conducted. After the five-year partnership networks of the relevant projects were created, network analysis revealed which countries took a more active and central role in the education projects coordinated by Türkiye. In the results obtained, degree and closeness centrality values are correlated according to countries, their rankings are the same. The reason for the difference in betweenness centrality values may be that a country that has done more projects does not take part in projects between other countries much. The relevant analysis revealed that, among all partner countries, Türkiye cooperates the most in education projects with Italy, Spain, and Romania for higher education and with Italy, Spain, and Greece for adult education. The results also show that both Italy and Spain rank high in both project types and play a more active role in project partnerships with other countries.
