KA171 – Mobility of higher education students and staff supported by external policy funds

[Home] [Students] [Academic Staff] [Technical/Administrative Staff:] [Open Calls] [Contacts]

What is International Credit Mobility (ICM)?

For 35 years, the European Union has funded the Erasmus programme which has enabled over 4 million European students to spend part of their studies in another higher education institution (HEI) in Europe. In 2015, Erasmus+ opened up these opportunities to individuals and organizations from other parts of the world. Through “International Credit Mobility” – ICM for short – European HEIs can set up mobility agreements which partners around the world to send and receive student and staff. This programme is the continuation of ICM (KA107) from the 2015-2020 programme period, and the first call for applications was launched in call 2022 of Erasmus+.

Why participate?

ICM projects aim to help participants acquire key skills, support their professional development, and deepen their understanding of cultures. These projects aim to increase the capacities, attractiveness and international dimension of the organizations taking part too.
The key action KA171 of the Erasmus+ programme for International Credit Mobility (ICM) promotes the implementation of mobility projects outside the EU, in line with the internationalisation of higher education institutions strategy. The goal of this action is to attract students and teachers towards the European universities, supporting them in the competition with the global higher education. At the same time, the objective is to expand the range of possible destinations for European students and teachers with an openness towards other Countries of the world.

Goals:

❍ Promoting Excellence in Higher Education
❍ Strengthen soft skills for labour market integration (spirit of initiative, digital and linguistic skills)
❍ Exploit the full potential of new technologies
❍ Promote social inclusion
❍ Raise the level of teaching and professional capacities

Recipients:

❍ Students
❍ Teachers
❍ Technical and administrative staff
