Erasmus+ Programme
Erasmus+ is the European Union (EU) programme in the fields of education, training, youth and sport for the period 2014-2020.
Erasmus+ provides opportunities for more than 4 million Europeans to study, train and gain work experience and perform volunteer work abroad, supporting cooperation and the development of partnerships between European institutions and other parts of the world.
UMOVE(ME) - International Credit Mobility
Over the last 30 years, the European Commission has funded the Erasmus programme, which has enabled more than 3 million European students to benefit from an international experience by performing part of their studies in another higher education institution (HEI) in different European countries. The Erasmus + programme now opens this opportunity to HEIs from other parts of the world. Under the International Credit Mobility (ICM), an HEI in a partner country can send its students on a study mobility to a partner HEI in a Program Country and vice versa.
As part of the institutional application for Key Action 1 of the Erasmus + Programme in 2018, the University of Minho has obtained funding for students, teaching and non-teaching staff mobility within the International Credit Mobility (ICM) from/to 33 partner countries outside Europe.
