Erasmus+ Program

Hello!

You’re probably already familiar with the Erasmus program from your time at university, but you might not have heard of Erasmus+! The European Union developed these exchange programs to encourage the trade of knowledge and experiences between different educational institutions throughout Europe.

There is a large variety of these programs for organizations as well as individuals. At AIL Madrid, we recommend that you take a look at programs titles “KA1 Mobility”. These are appropriate for individuals from all parts of the education world: institutions, professional trainings, universities, or adult professional courses.

FAQs

Can I apply for the scholarship on my own?
