Detailed Call Description
The Erasmus Charter for Higher Education (ECHE) is an EU quality certificate for higher education institutions (HEIs). It is a prerequisite for all HEIs from Erasmus+ Programme countries to apply for funding under Erasmus+ calls (including calls managed by Erasmus+ National Agencies). By applying for the ECHE, the HEI confirms that its participation in Erasmus+ is part of its strategy for modernisation and internationalisation. This strategy acknowledges the key contribution of student and staff mobility and of participation in transnational cooperation projects, to the quality of its higher education programmes and student experience. The ECHE aims to reinforce the quality of student and staff mobility, as well as of cooperation projects.
The ECHE will be valid for the entire duration of the Erasmus+ Programme 2021-2027 (and up until the end of projects funded under that Programme). The award of the ECHE does not automatically imply any direct funding under the Erasmus+ Programme. ECHE holders will be subject to regular monitoring by the National Agencies.
The referred deadline date is specifically for 2022. The following deadlines dates are for the next years:
03 May 2022 17:00:00 Brussels time 27 April 2023 17:00:00 Brussels time 24 April 2024 17:00:00 Brussels time 24 April 2025 17:00:00 Brussels time 23 April 2026 17:00:00 Brussels time 22 April 2027 17:00:00 Brussels time
