About Erasmus+

The Erasmus+ programme for higher education fosters international collaboration among Higher Education Institutions (HEIs), enabling students and staff to engage in international mobility and strategic projects. It consists of two main actions:

ACTION 1: Learning Mobility

This action supports both physical and blended mobility for higher education students across all fields and study cycles, as well as for academic and administrative staff of HEIs.

ACTION 2: Cooperation among HEIs for Innovation and Good Practice Exchange

“Collaborative partnerships” under this action involve international projects aimed at developing, transferring, and implementing innovative practices. These initiatives promote cooperation, peer learning, and the exchange of experiences at the European level. The goal is to modernize university curricula, better align education with societal and economic needs, and improve education quality.

CENTRAL ACTIVITIES

Key activities within the higher education sector are managed by the European Education and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA) in Brussels. Support for projects in higher education is available for:

  • Erasmus Mundus actions
  • Innovation Alliances
  • Jean Monnet activities

BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE PROGRAMME

  • Mobility Types for Students:
    • Long-term physical mobility for study or internships: 2 to 12 months
    • Short-term physical or blended mobility for students and doctoral candidates for study or internship: 5 to 30 days
  • Graduate Mobility:
    • Graduates are eligible for internships within 12 months post-graduation.
  • Mobility Capital:
    • Each student has a 12-month “mobility capital” in each study cycle (bachelor's, master's, doctoral) or 24 months for one-cycle master’s degree studies, regardless of mobility type (study or internship)
