Description of the project

 

Erasmus+

Erasmus+ is the EU program in the fields of education, training, youth and sport for the period 2014-2020. Erasmus + has a budget of EUR 14.7 billion over 7 years, reflecting the commitment to invest in these areas, above all in terms of skills development and the employability of young people. Erasmus+ provides opportunities for more than 4 million Europeans to study, train and gain work experience and perform volunteer work abroad, supporting cooperation and the development of partnerships between European institutions and other parts of the world.

 

JAMIES - International Credit Mobility

The International Credit Mobility (ICM) is part of Key Action 1 of the Erasmus + Program and allows a Higher Education Institution (HEI) in a partner country to send students, teaching and non-teaching staff to perform a study period, a teaching or training mission to an HEI in a Program country and vice versa.
