Erasmus+ Programs

The Erasmus+ Key Action 131 project organises and finances mobility between JUNIA and other Erasmus Plus charter holders in EU member countries plus Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, the FYR of Macedonia, Serbia and Turkey.

Our Erasmus Plus partnerships are managed through France Agro 3 and Lille Catholic University which distributes grants financed by the European Commission. Erasmus Plus mobility grants help students and staff cover the costs of travel and life abroad, making the experience less stressful and providing financial support for a life-changing opportunity. In addition, any participants who have a severe disability or exceptional special needs may be entitled to extra funding to cover associated costs on their Erasmus+ mobility, making an academic exchange period truly accessible.

Since 2016, JUNIA has managed several Erasmus+ International Credit Mobility projects for student and staff mobility: 9 projects with 15 countries. These three-year programs focus on cooperation for academic and professional development for participants and our institution by sending students and staff to our selected partners abroad, as well as welcoming students and staff from those partners. Our current International Credit Mobility programs were developed in collaboration with our partners in Ghana, Kenya, Ukraine, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Cameroon, the United States, Taiwan, Georgia, Madagascar, Thailand and Jordan, with more projects underway.
