The role of students in the ECHE 2021-2027

While negotiations for the budget of the next Erasmus+ programme 2021-2027 are still ongoing, the Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) willing to participate in Erasmus+ projects are currently applying for one the most important documents within the Higher Education sector of Erasmus+: the Erasmus Charter for Higher Education.

 

The Charter is a prerequisite for any HEI who wants to take part in Erasmus+ projects and mobilities. It outlays standards to ensure quality mobility through a number of commitments towards the students which HEIs should undertake. It includes general principles and commitments. The ECHE is a co-creation of Erasmus+ National Agencies, student representatives such as the Erasmus Student Network (ESN), and other civil society organisations and experts in student mobility.

 

ESN developed a document fostering collaboration between HEIs and ESN sections all over Europe, so they can work together to achieve the commitments described in the ECHE in the best way possible.
