The ERASMUS PLUS - Mobility for study Program was established by the European Union with the aim of creating a European educational space and encouraging the mobility of students, faculty and staff involved in education-related activities.
The Erasmus Action of that program is dedicated specifically to higher education institutions and thus to the mobility of students and faculty at the university level.
Student mobility is promoted to enable them to take official courses abroad that will be recognized by their home university, proceed to the partial or total preparation of their thesis, and even, if there are specific agreements, obtain a double degree (double degree and double diploma).
Teacher mobility is aimed at studying the teaching organization of foreign institutions, arranging student exchanges and conducting courses or parts of official courses and/or seminars abroad.
Each year the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia signs an Institutional Contract with the European Commission indicating all the activities it intends to carry out under the program.
On the basis of bilateral agreements with each individual partner university, mobility grants are activated for students of the various courses of study.
