The world highly integrated and accesible for all as academic institutions made education become available for all.
With all the multifaceted problems in the world today that keep emerging, it is imperative to work together to solve the problems. Students worldwide can now be a part of the development and be the catalyst of change for a better world.
The programs have a wide variety of schemes that both individuals and institutions worldwide can benefit from. With a budget of over €26.2 billion, Erasmus+ gives opportunities for students and academics to study, train, gain experience, and volunteer abroad.
To achieve its objectives, Erasmus+ created a collection of activities. Erasmus+ Key Action 2 is specially designed to facilitate students and academic staff in an exchange scholarship program for 6 months (one semester) to a maximum of 34 months in a participating higher education institution in Europe. The scholarship grants the entire cost of travel and accommodation at the host university, including living expenses and other expenses related to the enrolment and insurance.
Key Action 2 comprises five fields of higher education, vocational education and training (VET), schools, adult education, and youth for students and academics can choose from.

Erasmus+ opens the opportunity for individuals and organizations worldwide to apply, although eligibility varies from one action country to another. The conditions of access to the program, therefore, relate to these two actors: the "participants" (individuals participating in the program) and the "participating organizations".
Students and academic staff outside Europe must be citizens of one of the countries covered by the respective geographic lot. However, they do not necessarily need to belong to one of the consortium universities.
The institution partners are responsible for creating their criteria and procedures for awarding individual, professors, or scholars grants and scholarships. Click on the links to find out the eligibility of individual or organizations as well as the Programme Guide.

Cooperation for innovation and the exchange of good practices is the key factor for socio-economic development and employability. The program invites student candidates to participate together in the economy by exchanging ideas and technical practice. It affects how we live and communicate, which will create a better world.
