The Erasmus+ programme
The Erasmus+ programme is a European initiative supporting education, training, youth and sport. It provides opportunities for mobility and partnership development, promoting cooperation between education and training institutions across Europe and beyond.

The European Partnership for an Innovative Campus Unifying Regions (EPICUR) was created following a call for proposals from the European Commission under the Erasmus+ programme.
Supporting innovation and cooperation
In line with the Erasmus Charter for Higher Education, the University of Strasbourg is prioritising digitalisation, inclusion, sustainability and education for European citizens.
The university participates in nine Erasmus+ cooperation partnerships and coordinates half of them. It also supports Erasmus+ Blended Intensive Programmes (BIPs) within its community. These programmes are innovative training courses that involve at least three universities from three different countries. They include both an international in-person activity and an online activity.
Encouraging mobility and offering high-quality training
Each year, the University of Strasbourg funds more than 1,000 outgoing mobilities. It has over 450 Erasmus+ partner institutions in more than 30 countries. Students, PhD students and staff have the opportunity to take part in training or teaching mobility periods. Staff can also join Staff Weeks, which are one-week seminars organised by universities to help them build an international profile, share good practices and develop their intercultural skills.
Several mobility projects funded through external policy funds support both incoming and outgoing mobility for teachers, staff and students between Erasmus+ programme countries and certain non-member countries. The University of Strasbourg is currently involved in projects with the Azerbaijan State University of Oil and Industry (ASOIU), the Technical University of Moldova (UTM), the Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv (TSNUK) and the Lviv University of Trade and Economics (LUTE).
The Erasmus+ programme supports Erasmus Mundus Joint Master's degrees. These are high-quality programmes designed and delivered by international groups of higher education institutions. Students enrolled in Erasmus Mundus programmes study at one or more partner institutions during their degree. They graduate with a joint degree, a double degree or multiple degrees. The University of Strasbourg offers three Erasmus Mundus Master's programmes: ChEMoinformatics+, Euroculture and European Literary Cultures (CLE). The university coordinates the ChEMoinformatics+ programme, which trains experts in cheminformatics, a field that brings together chemistry, computer science and information science.
Jean Monnet Actions and Centre of Excellence
The Erasmus+ programme supports Jean Monnet Actions, which promotes knowledge of the European Union through teaching and research. This initiative contributes to the development of a European Higher Education Area. A pioneer in European studies since the 1960s, the University of Strasbourg leads numerous Jean Monnet projects.
