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 higher education institutions worldwide.

For a Latino student who doesn't know what it means to study at a European University, I feel victorious for having had this opportunity under Erasmus + ICM. Thank you Vilnius and Vilnius University. Noemi Gonzalez De Los Santos, Instituto Tecnologico De Santo Domingo (Dominican Republic) |

Erasmus + ICM has been an overall expanding, academically, professionally and personally enriching experience, which I recommend to all knowledge seeking young people planning their future careers. The change of academic environment, interaction with professors and students from other states is also a great possibility to acknowledge a variety of new academic perspectives and approaches.
