Call

Erasmus Charter for Higher Education

Summary

This Call aims at accrediting recognised Higher Education Institutions located in eligible countries, which have operational capacity to take part in Erasmus+ Programme’s activities, such as learning mobility of individuals and/or cooperation for innovation and good practices.

Detailed Call Description

The Erasmus Charter for Higher Education (ECHE) is an EU quality certificate for higher education institutions (HEIs). It is a prerequisite for all HEIs from Erasmus+ Programme countries to apply for funding under Erasmus+ calls (including calls managed by Erasmus+ National Agencies). By applying for the ECHE, the HEI confirms that its participation in Erasmus+ is part of its strategy for modernisation and internationalisation. This strategy acknowledges the key contribution of student and staff mobility and of participation in transnational cooperation projects, to the quality of its higher education programmes and student experience.
The ECHE aims to reinforce the quality of student and staff mobility, as well as of cooperation projects.

The ECHE will be valid for the entire duration of the Erasmus+ Programme 2021-2027 (and up until the end of projects funded under that Programme). The award of the ECHE does not automatically imply any direct funding under the Erasmus+ Programme.
ECHE holders will be subject to regular monitoring by the National Agencies.

The referred deadline date is specifically for 2022.
