Erasmus+
The “Erasmus” programme was originally established by the European Union in 1987. It looked to promote closer cooperation between universities and higher education institutions across Europe. This meant setting up an organised and integrated system of cross-border student interchange.
Over time, the programme has expanded in its breadth and depth and is now known as “Erasmus+”. Its extended form is a broad umbrella framework which combines former EU’s different schemes for transnational cooperation and mobility in education, training, youth and sport in Europe. Increasingly, it is also looking beyond Europe.
So far between 2014-2021, over 13 million people have taken part in Erasmus+, thanks to enthusiastic take-up of opportunities by staff, students, young people and learners of all ages.
Erasmus+ offers mobility and cooperation opportunities in:
- Higher Education
- Vocational Education And Training
- School Education (Including Early Childhood Education And Care)
- Adult Education
- Youth
- Sport
