Erasmus+ Program Coordination
WHO IS ERASMUS?
Desiderius Erasmus (1465 - 1536) was a Dutch philosopher who emerged as one of the leading figures and greatest representatives of the Humanism movement that emerged with the Renaissance. Recognized for his contributions to the unification of Europe under a common umbrella of art and science and his influence on the educational philosophy of his time, Erasmus is considered an apt namesake for the Erasmus+ program.
Erasmus, akin to a wandering scholar, traveled across various countries in Europe throughout his life. His most important work, "In Praise of Folly" (Moriæ Encomium), continues to be relevant today and is regarded as one of the most significant works written against bigotry.
What is the Erasmus Program?
The Erasmus Program takes its name from Erasmus, a significant figure of Renaissance Humanism, as he had traveled as both a student and an academic across different European countries. He is somewhat considered as the precursor to today's Erasmus+ students.
The grants provided in the field of higher education under the European Commission-managed Lifelong Learning Program, which ran from 2007 to 2013 and ended in 2014, continued under the Erasmus+ Program between 2014 and 2020. The new Erasmus period will continue In the 2021-2027 period.
The Erasmus+ program aims to encourage higher education institutions to cooperate with each other. It provides unconditional financial support for higher education institutions to develop and implement joint projects with one another and make short-term student and staff exchanges.
The Erasmus+ Program aims to offer more effective tools promoting collaboration across different sectors, aligned with the objectives of the European 2027 Strategy for education, youth, and sports, addressing the emerging needs in these areas.
As for the field of higher education specifically, the program aims to enhance the quality of higher education, strengthen collaboration among higher education institutions, and foster collaboration between these institutions and the business world.
Erasmus+ activities are aimed, in the broadest sense, at institutions and organizations involved in higher education as well as their staff and students.
Our university first obtained the "Erasmus University Charter" by applying to the European Commission in 2021. Since obtaining the charter, our participation in Erasmus programs has continued to increase.
Erasmus+ is the European Union’s grant program implemented between 2021 and 2027, covering the fields of education, youth, and sport. The Erasmus+ Program aims to equip individuals—regardless of age or educational background—with new skills, to strengthen their personal development, and to enhance their employability. The total budget allocated to the Erasmus+ Program for the period 2021–2027 across Europe amounts to €28.4 billion.
Within the framework of the Erasmus+ Programme, the supported activities are primarily organized under three Key Actions (KA) and one Special Action.
