Erasmus+

Through Erasmus+ higher education mobility, students can study and practice in another program/partner country.

• Studies (60–360 days)
• Internship (60–360 days)
• Combination of studies and internship (60–360 days)
• Blended mobility (5–30 days or 60–360 days)
• Blended intensive program (BIP) (5–30 days physical mobility with a virtual component)
• Short doctoral mobility (5–30 days or 60–360 days)

With Erasmus+ mobility higher education, teachers and staff can develop skills and exchange experience with colleagues in other program countries.

• Teacher mobility (for teaching abroad) (2-60 days)
• Staff continuing education (job shadowing, observation period, training events, etc...) (2-5 days)
• Combination of teaching and continuing education (2–60 days)

A doctoral student can participate in all of the Erasmus+ program's forms of mobility (studies, internships, teaching mobility and staff training) because doctoral students can be counted as students as well as teachers and staff. The mobility type will vary based on what the doctoral student will do during the mobility.

• Teacher mobility (for teaching abroad)
• Staff training (job shadowing, observation period, training events, etc...)
• Studies
• Internship
• Combination of studies and internship

A novelty in Erasmus+ is that students and staff can do mixed exchanges with a shorter physical mobility and a virtual part. Erasmus+ also provides the opportunity to organize blended intensive programs (BIP) in collaboration with organizations in other countries. The main part of such a course is virtual and a shorter physical group mobility is included. Courses can be arranged for both students and staff.

This type of mobility is primarily aimed at students who otherwise find it difficult to find space for mobility in their educational program, for example student teachers.

The participant must do a physical mobility that lasts for 5-30 days which must be combined with a virtual component that takes place either before, during or after the physical mobility. The virtual part must also be an organized component with a clear learning goal and outcome. The length of the virtual part is flexible, but the entire mobility must correspond to at least 3 ECTS.

Ordinary mobility funds are used for financing and the physical days are counted in the regular Erasmus days.

Universities can, together with at least two other universities from two other program countries, organize joint programs for groups of students, teachers and administrative staff. These short intensive programs are based on more flexible forms of mobility and combine a physical and a virtual part.

Erasmus+ International Credit Mobility (ICM) enables collaborations with universities in non-European countries and can include mobilities in both directions. The program should contribute to raising the quality of education through collaborations and mobility of both students and staff. The application to the program is made through a university-wide application to UHR that the International Office coordinates.

Read more about the ICM program and the application procedure at Erasmus+ ICM-project.

The program promotes collaborations in Europe with the aim of developing, exchanging and testing innovative methods and practices in education. The goal is to increase the quality and relevance of the participating organizations' training.

Through the program, providers of teacher education and teacher training can work together to improve the quality of initial teacher education and support for teachers in their first years in the profession.

Through Erasmus+ Jean Monnet, quality in teaching and research in the subject area of ​​EU studies will be promoted worldwide. EU studies includes studies of Europe as a whole with particular emphasis on the European integration process. The activities should also promote dialogue between the academic world and decision-makers.

Erasmus+ Jean Monnet Higher Education

In 2019, the European Commission launched the possibility for higher education institutions to apply for funds, via the European Universities Initiative, to become a European university. The goal of the European University is to spread European values ​​and promote a European identity and can also mean a substantial boost to the quality and competitiveness of European higher education. The initiative with European universities will be fully implemented through the next Erasmus program 2021–2027.

Stockholm University was granted funds together with seven other higher education institutions, within the Civis network, in the first pilot round.
