Erasmus+
About Erasmus+
The Erasmus programme is an education programme of the EU for promoting multilateral cooperation between the higher education institutions in Europe. It provides complimentary financial support –as grant- for higher education institutions to create and realize their mutual projects, exchange students, administrative, and academic personnel. This programme was named after the Dutch scientist Erasmus (1469-1536), who was one of the important representatives of Renaissance Humanism, because he stayed in different European countries both as a student and academician. Erasmus+ is the European Union programme for education, training, youth, and sport. It runs for seven years, from 2014 to 2020, with organisations invited to apply for funding each year to undertake creative and worthwhile activities.
Erasmus+ aims to modernise education, training, and youth work across Europe. It is open to education, training, youth, and sport organisations across all sectors of lifelong learning, including school education, further and higher education, adult education, and the youth sector. It offers exciting opportunities for UK participants to study, work, volunteer, teach, and train abroad.
