ERASMUS is the action of the Socrates II programme devoted to higher education. It aims at improving quality and reinforcing the European dimension of higher education by encouraging translational cooperation between universities, by stimulating European mobility and improving transparency and academic recognition of courses of study and qualifications throughout the European Union.

Erasmus is made up of a number of activities: student and lecturer exchanges, joint development of curriculums, intensive international programmes, themed networks between departments and faculties across Europe, language lessons (CIEL), European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS).
