ERASMUS + - the European Union's education, training, youth and sport programme
What is the ERASMUS + Programme?
It is a programme of the European Union (EU) supporting international projects in the field of higher education, school education, adult education, vocational education, sport and youth activities.
Under the Erasmus + programme, universities may receive financial support for their professional activities from the European Commission (EC), the EU's executive body.
The higher education institution is entitled to participate in the activities supported by the ERASMUS + programme only after the ERASMUS CHARTER for HIGHER EDUCATION - ECHE has been awarded, based on previous request from the European Commission.
The Slovak Medical University in Bratislava (SMU) successfully applied for ECHE. SMU was awarded ECHE in 2014 and since then has been authorized to implement and carry out mobilities within the ERASMUS + programme.
