Erasmus+ is the European Union's program for education, youth and sport.
Information on Erasmus+ can be found on the European Commission's websites and in the National Agency Guide (German).
Under the umbrella of the EU education program Erasmus+, the following mobility measures are funded in the program countries:
Each higher education institution participating in the Erasmus+ program must have a valid Erasmus Charter for Higher Education (ECHE). The ECHE is awarded by the European Commission. It proves that a higher education institution meets all the requirements for successful participation in the Erasmus+ program.

Zero grant funding
Students will be awarded the mobility grant for a shorter period of time, unless sufficient financial resources are available.
The remaining stay is recorded as a so-called zero-grant period. A mobility can also be carried out as a complete Zero Grant period, i.e. students benefit from the advantages of the Erasmus programme, but do not receive any financial support from the programme.
