Swiss Programme for Erasmus+: Higher education
In higher education and professional education, European mobility projects are mainly funded through the Swiss-European Mobility Programme SEMP. The Swiss Programme for Erasmus+ also offers opportunities to plan and implement transnational institutional partnerships and cooperations.
The Swiss Programme for Erasmus+ is largely based on the EU’s Erasmus+ programme. In Switzerland it facilitates in higher education both, mobility projects for individuals and interinstitutional cooperation between higher education institutions. It therefore supports universities, universities of applied sciences and colleges of higher education in their internationalisation efforts, in European cooperation and in the organisation of mobility opportunities for students and higher education staff through various programmes at different levels.Funding is granted to projects that help establish international links and improve quality in the Swiss education system.
