Erasmus+

WHAT IS ERASMUS+?                                             

The Erasmus+ mobility programme provides travel grants for students, faculty members, academic & administrative staff interested in visiting European higher education institutions to study, teach, or train. It encourages familiarisation with the target institutions and critical people in these institutions to promote international cooperation, improving the capabilities and modernization of teaching systems. The mobility programmes offer scholarships for travel costs and a monthly allowance ("Mobility Grants").
