InfoKit 10/2009 The ERASMUS programme was launched in June 1987 and in 2007 celebrated its 20th anniversary. It is arguably one of the best-known Community actions and encourages student and teacher mobility through decentralised actions implemented by National Agencies and promotes though centralised actions the transnational cooperation among Higher Education Institutions across Europe managed by the Executive Agency.
The Erasmus centralised actions under the Call 2010 are composed of three sub-actions, which are Multilateral Projects, Networks and Accompanying Measures.
Erasmus University Charter
The Erasmus University Charter (EUC) provides the general framework for the European co-operation activities a higher education institution may carry out within the Erasmus programme.
Erasmus Actions
Erasmus Multilateral Projects
Multilateral projects bring together a minimum of three institutions from at least three LLP participating countries (at least one country must be an EU Member State) and are subdivided into the following 4 subactions.
Erasmus Networks
Erasmus Networks are designed to promote innovation in a specific discipline, set of disciplines or multidisciplinary area (Academic Networks) and help improve and modernise a specific aspect of higher education organisation, management, governance or funding ( Structural Networks).
Erasmus Accompanying Measures
These projects aim to support communication activities, and events for the dissemination and exploitation of results of Erasmus projects. These accompanying measures are expected to produce a better impact of these results in the field of higher education and society at large.
Erasmus complementary activities
