Erasmus+
The Erasmus Charter for Higher Education (ECHE) contains the fundamental principles to be respected by all higher education institution participating in the Erasmus+ programme.
Erasmus+ is the EU programme to support education, training, youth and sports in Europe. This is the parallel to the EU's Horizon Europe research programme.
The Erasmus+ programme comprises all levels of education from early childhood to adult education.
The programme focuses on quality in education and training in a lifelong learning perspective through digitalisation and linking education, research, work life and society at large.
Equally important are the environment and fighting climate change, international cooperation, diversity and inclusion.
Each year, the calls for proposals cover various types of international cooperation activities that may include students, staff, education and training institutions, as well as stakeholders representing employers and governing bodies.

All UHR member institutions are collectively affiliated to EUA. OsloMet has also been listed as a member of the EUA network EUA Council for Doctoral Education since 2016.
EUA is the voice of the universities of Europe. The organization is a support to the member organizations and a target backer of the interests of individual institutions and of the European university sector as a whole.
EUA plays a crucial role in the Bologna Process and in influencing EU policies on higher education, research and innovation.
Through EUA, European universities often express their views to the European Commission and the European Parliament and other policymakers on behalf of the sector. Through continuous interaction with a range of other European and international organizations, EUA ensures that the independent voice of European universities is heard.
The membership gives OsloMet a great opportunity to collaborate with other universities in Europe on our common interests and it provides unrivalled opportunities to share best practices by participating in projects, events and other mutual-learning activities involving a wide range of universities.
