International Credit Mobility Erasmus+ programme

These Erasmus+ mobility grants enable beneficiary students to spend time abroad for an internship or a study period and thus develop their professional, intercultural and linguistic skills and ensure better employability.
Participating academic and administrative staff can benefit from a training or teaching period abroad, which enables them to acquire knowledge and know-how, and to enrich the pedagogical content of their training courses through the exchange of good practices. It is also an opportunity to develop their professional network in the international academic and research world and thus to contribute to the modernization of their institution.
