The Erasmus programme, named after the Dutch philosopher and theologian Desiderius Erasmus, is a European Union initiative that supports the mobility of students, teachers and education professionals. The programme aims to strengthen European identity, develop language skills and promote international cooperation within the European Education Area. Erasmus enables participants to study or work abroad, thereby broadening their academic and professional horizons. The programme offers financial support to cover travel and living costs, ensuring that mobility is inclusive and accessible to different groups of students. Through its contribution to intercultural understanding and the creation of an open European Education Area, Erasmus is a key pillar of support for education in the European context.
