Erasmus +
Erasmus+ is the European Union programme supporting education, training, youth and sport. It promotes international mobility and cooperation, enabling students and staff to gain experience abroad, exchange knowledge and strengthen connections across institutions and countries.
Vilnius University actively participates in Erasmus+ mobility programmes, offering a wide range of opportunities for students, academic and non-academic staff.
Erasmus+ is our largest student mobility programme, connecting Vilnius University with an extensive network of partner universities across Europe and beyond. Through these partnerships, students can study or train abroad, while academic and administrative staff can take part in teaching and professional development mobility.
