Introduction
Erasmus+ is the European Commissions Program for education, training, youth
and sport for the period 2014?2020, succeeding the previous Lifelong Learning
Program (2007 - 2014). As an integrated program, Erasmus+ offers more
opportunities for mobility of learners and staff and cooperation across the
education, training and youth sectors and is easier to access than its
predecessors, with simplified funding rules and a structure which aims to
streamline the administration of the program. There are different Key Actions
within this program including Key Actions 1, 2 and 3. The most accessible one is
Erasmus+ Key Action 1, also known as International Credit Mobility (ICM) which
facilities the mobility of student and staff between the 2 partner universities.
Jean Monnet is also another program under Erasmus+. For more information, please
