Erasmus is considered one of the most successful programmes of the European Commission!!!
Erasmus+, the new EU programme for education, training, youth and sport, due for launch in January 2014, will build on the legacy of Erasmus by offering opportunities for 4 million people to study, train, teach or volunteer abroad by 2020. The programme is expected to have a budget of around €14.5 billion for 2014-2020 - 40% more than funding for the current education and training mobility programmes.
Trivia: a student leaving on an Erasmus exchange has 15% chances to find its mate and form an "Erasmus couple"!
In Romania numarul de studenti care pleaca cu burse Erasmus a ramas relativ constant, 4568 pe an.
Studentii prefera sa plece in cele mai multe cazuri in Franta, Spania si Germania, si ne vin in general studenti francezi si spanioli. Mai multe statistici se gasesc in raportul Erasmus in Romania.
