Erasmus + International Credit Mobility
Launched in 2015, new Erasmus + action - International Credit Mobility (ICM) - opened up new opportunities for students and staff exchange to institutions outside the European Union.
International Credit Mobility (ICM) supports the mobility of individual participants enrolled or employed at a higher education institution:
• Student mobility for study and traineeships
• Staff mobility for teaching for academic staff
• Staff mobility for training for teaching and non-teaching staff
Since 2015, Vilnius University has been participating in Erasmus+ International Credit Mobility to extend international cooperation with HEI worldwide.
