Erasmus+ Programme
The Erasmus+ program is funded by the European Union, which offers a wide range of opportunities to people and institutions from all sectors of education, training, youth, and sports.
The program is structured in 3 Key Actions (KA) and Jean Monnet actions as follows:
- Key Action 1: supports the mobility of individuals (students, professors, invited experts, VET trainers, etc.) abroad;
- Key Action 2: promotes the setting up of transnational networks of organizations to create cooperative partnerships for innovation;
- Key Action 3: supports policy reform at the institutional level;
- The Jean Monnet Actions support policy reform at the institutional level.
In higher education, the Erasmus+ program provides students of all levels and degree programs, professors, staff, and researchers with mobility opportunities in European countries (program countries) and the rest of the world (partner countries). It is also possible for universities that are a part of the program to participate in transnational partnerships with the rest of the world, targeting innovation, modernization, and the internationalization of higher education, through cooperation agreements and innovation projects.
