Erasmus+ programme (Europe)
Erasmus+ is the European Union's programme for education, youth and sport. Erasmus+ combines the previous EU programmes for lifelong learning, youth and sport as well as the European cooperation programmes in the field of higher education.
Key action 1 supports the mobility of individuals. In the higher education context, Erasmus+ supports students in all study cycles up to and including doctoral studies who wish to complete part of their studies or an internship abroad for up to 12 months. In addition, funding is available for short-term lectureships and further training programmes for teaching and administrative staff. Furthermore, universities can invite company personnel from abroad to take part in teaching visits. In addition to key action 131, key action 171 can also be used to fund mobilities with partner countries.
Focussing on social participation and environmental sustainability, the programme provides top-ups to individuals who have fewer opportunities (social top-up) or who use green mobility (green travel top-up).
Guidelines 2 and 3 focus on cooperation and policy dialogue, for example by supporting the establishment and implementation of joint strategic partnerships and cooperation projects or the initiation of cross-educational cooperation and policy dialogue with third countries.
Erasmus+ offers various instruments and programme lines that can be used to support partnerships and co-operation projects. These include Cooperation Partnerships, the ERASMUS Mundus degree programmes, and the new Erasmus Mundus Design Measures, Erasmus+ Teacher Academies, the Jean Monnet Actions, and Alliances for Innovation.

Erasmus+ programme generation 2021-2027
The current programme generation 2021-2027
In the current programme generation (2021-2027), Erasmus+ is intended to support the objectives of the European education agendas to promote the modernization, internationalization and qualitative improvement of higher education in Europe, to strengthen the international competences, personal development and employability of students, to increase the attractiveness of the EU as a place to study and research and to contribute to the sustainable development of higher education in third countries. Finally, the programme should also help to build more cross-educational bridges and intensify cooperation between the various education sectors (Source: www.erasmusplus.de/erasmus/hochschulbildung).

The Erasmus+ program generation 2021-2027 focuses on social participation, the ecological and digital transformation and the promotion of participation of young people in democratic life.
A total budget of 26.2 billion euros is available. Funding for most mobility measures and the Strategic Partnerships is awarded by the National Agencies in the 33 programme countries (28 EU countries, Iceland, Liechtenstein, FYR Macedonia, Norway, Turkey). In Germany, this task continues to be carried out by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) for the higher education sector.
ERASMUS Charter and European Policy Statement 2021-2027
Every higher education institution wishing to participate in the ERASMUS programme must have a valid Erasmus Charter for Higher Education (ECHE).
The Erasmus Charter for Higher Education (ECHE) was awarded to the University of Oldenburg by the EU Commission, proving that a university fulfils all the requirements for successful participation in the Erasmus programme.
