Programme Erasmus+ offers financial support for institutions and organisations active in education and training, youths and sport in Europe.  Meeting the challenges put by European policy strategic documents (mainly by Europe 2020 strategy) the programme is to facilitate the process of developing skills of its participants and increasing their employment chances, and to modernize systems of education, trainings and youths’ support.

Within the framework of the Erasmus+ system students can study and do placements in companies, organisations and institutions in foreign countries participating in the programme. Students of all three study cycles (BA, MA and PhD) can go abroad for as long as 12 months but for not less than 3 months (placement min. 2 months). Students of long cycle studies (MA- 5 or 6 years) can stay abroad for even 24 months.
