Erasmus+ is the EU’s program for education, training, youth and sport for 2021-2027. It is the world’s largest academic exchange program, launched in 1987. One of the main objectives of the program is to promote the mobility of individuals and groups for learning purposes, as well as cooperation, quality, inclusion and equal opportunities, excellence, creativity and innovation in educational organisations and policies.

The program provides an opportunity to learn and gain experience, creates a space of openness and tolerance, promotes intercultural dialogue, and encourages young people to think secularly – not to limit themselves to their own country not only during their studies, but also when looking for a job.

KTU has been granted  the Erasmus+ Higher Education Charter  to participate in the Erasmus+ program for the years 2021-2027. It is necessary to organise student and staff mobility, as well as to implement Erasmus+ strategic partnership projects, other Erasmus+ multilateral projects and networks. It sets out the basic principles and minimum requirements on which European cooperation between higher education institutions is based in the implementation of the Erasmus+ program.
