What is Erasmus+ Exchange Program

Erasmus+ is an EU programme run by Turkish National Agency to promote cooperation between higher education institutions. The communication between the European Commission and Turkish universities holding an EUC (Erasmus University Charter) is managed by Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, European Union Education and Youth Programmes Center (National Agency). The European Commission also provides financial support for the exchange by offering grants to students that are selected for the exchange programme. Every university in Turkey that participates in the Erasmus+ Programme requests grants from the National Agency for all candidate Erasmus students selected for the following academic year. The National Agency evaluates these grant requests from all Turkish universities and informs the European Commission.
