Socrates-Erasmus SOCRATES / ERASMUS Erasmus ("European Community Action Scheme for the Mobility of University Students") is the European Commission's educational programme for Higher Education students, teachers and institutions. It was introduced in 1987 with the aim of increasing student mobility within the European Community, subsequently the European Economic Area countries, and now also the Candidate Countries of Bulgaria, Romania and Turkey. In 1995 Erasmus became incorporated into the Socrates programme which covers education from school to university to life long learning. The Erasmus programme, which is arguably one of the best-known Community actions, encourages student and teacher mobility, and promotes transnational cooperation projects among universities across Europe. The scheme currently covers nine out of every ten European higher education establishments. It was named after Erasmus of Rotterdam (1466 - 1536), who was a Dutch humanist and theologian. Erasmus has developed beyond just being an educational programme. It gives many European university students the chance of living for the first time in a foreign country, and it has reached the status of a social and cultural phenomenon. Well over 1.5 million students have so far benefited from Erasmus grants, and the European Commission hopes to reach a total of 3 million by 2012. Erasmus is a European Commission exchange programme that enables students in 31 European countries to study for part of their degree in another country. Erasmus can provide:

Socrates, Leonardo da Vinci, and eLearning programmes which expired at the end
of 2006. Erasmus is one of the four sectoral programmes supported under the
Lifelong Learning Programme.
