1. What is Erasmus?

The Erasmus+ Program, fully known as the “European Union Action Program for the Mobility of University Students” or simply “Erasmus+,” is a European Union initiative that encourages cooperation among higher education institutions and allows students and academics to gain experience at universities in different countries.

This program was initially launched in 1987 under the name “Erasmus” as a student mobility program and has been expanded over time to include youth and education. These expansions were carried out under the headings “Socrates,” “Leonardo da Vinci,” “Lifelong Learning,” and “Youth,” and most recently continued under the name “Erasmus+” for the period 2014-2020.

The European Union, with the EU2020 Strategy, has decided to place more emphasis on education and teaching. In this context, the Erasmus+ Program aims to support individuals in acquiring broader and higher-level skills by offering opportunities to study and work abroad. The program is implemented in the fields of education, teaching, learning, internships, volunteer work, youth, and sports with the aim of improving quality in higher education. The Erasmus+ Program offers financial support grants provided by National Agencies to all participating countries. In Turkey, the institution offering this grant support in this field is located within the Presidency of the Center for EU Education and Youth Programs.
