Erasmus+ Programme

Erasmus+

Erasmus+ is the European Union programme for education, training, youth and sport in Europe.

The name Erasmus stands for EuRopean community Action Scheme for the Mobility of University Students.

What does participating in Erasmus+ mean today?

Taking part in the Erasmus+ Programme means accessing boundless opportunities. Erasmus+ fosters participation, personal growth, and tangible experiences of European mobility.

The Programme stands for inclusiveness and high-quality education, as well as opportunities for teaching, work and volunteering experiences.

Erasmus+ is open to all ages, enabling active engagement in democratic society, genuine intercultural understanding—also through language learning—and facilitates openness and progression towards the world of work. Erasmus+ helps to encourage empathy.

Erasmus+ is synonymous with a transformative life experience, personal growth, and open-mindedness (hence its motto: Enriches lives, opens minds). Erasmus+ offers mobility and cooperation opportunities among peoples and countries for projects aimed at:

  • School education, including early childhood education and care. This covers projects in the school education sector, involving school leaders, teachers, and school staff, as well as pupils at all levels of school education, from nursery to primary and secondary school.
  • Vocational education and training, for apprentices and students in vocational institutes, professionals and vocational training staff, staff of initial vocational training organisations, trainers, and professionals in companies.
  • Higher education, including students from all three study cycles (Bachelor’s, Master’s, and PhD or equivalent), as well as academic staff, staff of higher education institutions, trainers, and professionals in companies.
  • Youth, aged 13 to 30, in addition to youth workers, organisations active in the youth sector, associations, local authorities, NGOs, and informal youth groups.
  • Adult education, targeting members of adult education organisations, trainers, adult education staff, and adult learners.
  • Sport, for professionals and volunteers in the sector, including athletes and coaches. The 2021–2027 programme places strong emphasis on social inclusion, the green and digital transitions, and on promoting youth participation in democratic life.

The programme consists of three actions:

  1. Key Action 1: Individual mobility for learning
  2. Key Action 2: Cooperation for innovation and best practices
  3. Key Action 3: Support for policy reform

The Erasmus Policy Statement (EPS) is an integral part of the University’s Internationalisation strategy and is required in order to obtain the Erasmus Charter for Higher Education.
