ERASMUS programme celebrates 25th anniversary
2012 marks the silver anniversary of the European Community Action Scheme for the Mobility of University Students [ERASMUS], the European Union’s best known and most popular student exchange programme.
In commemoration of this milestone a series of national festivities, to be held throughout the year, were announced at the end of January by the European Commissioner for Education, Culture, Multilingualism and Youth, Androulla Vassiliou.
Close to three million students have benefited from a study period or work placement abroad since the establishment of the programme in 1987.
