Administration

Introduction

Erasmus+ is the European Commissions Program for education, training, youth and sport for the period 2014?2020, succeeding the previous Lifelong Learning Program (2007 - 2014). As an integrated program, Erasmus+ offers more opportunities for mobility of learners and staff and cooperation across the education, training and youth sectors and is easier to access than its predecessors, with simplified funding rules and a structure which aims to streamline the administration of the program. There are different Key Actions within this program including Key Actions 1, 2 and 3. The most accessible one is Erasmus+ Key Action 1, also known as International Credit Mobility (ICM) which facilities the mobility of student and staff between the 2 partner universities. Jean Monnet is also another program under Erasmus+. For more information, please visit
