Deadline: 3-May-22
The European Commission (EC) is pleased to announce a funding call entitled “Erasmus Charter for Higher Education” (ECHE).
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).
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.
The certification procedure consists in validating the status as a ‘higher education institution (HEI)’ and certifying compliance with the ECHE quality standards (Erasmus Policy Statement, quality of organisation and management structures and the implementation of ECHE principles).
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.
Eligibility Criteria
In order to be eligible, the applicants must:
- be higher education institution (HEI) (public or private) and
-
be established in one of the eligible countries, i.e.:
- Erasmus+ Programme Countries:
- EU Member States (including overseas countries and territories (OCTs))
-
non-EU countries:
- listed EEA countries and countries associated to the Erasmus+ Programme (associated countries) or countries which are in ongoing negotiations for an association agreement and where the agreement enters into force before certification award.
