International Credit Mobility

• Opening of Erasmus to the World

• Short-term mobility for students (3-12 months) &

staff (5-60 days)

• Mobility for Bachelor's, Master's, PhD & staff

• Bilateral agreements between HEIs from

Programme & Partner Countries

What ICM is not

Not a simple follow-up of Erasmus Mundus - Action 2

• international consortia bilateral agreements

• centralised decentralised management (NAs)

Not a "pure" extension of intra-European Erasmus

• Limited financial resources competitive selection

process (qualitative assessment)

• Reflecting EU external policy priorities

• European universities manage outgoing and incoming

mobilities

EU funding

• Total ICM budget (2015-20): EUR 761 M

• Turkey: EUR 27 M (~7,000 mobilities from 2015-2020)

• Funding provides:

• Organisational support grant for participating institutions

(€350 up to 100 participants, then €250)

• Individual support for students (€650-850/month) and staff

(€100-160/day)

• Travel costs based on distance (€180-1100)
