The Erasmus programme that has promoted
mobility in higher education since 1987 will reach the figure of a million
students in the academic course 2002/2003. To celebrate this, the
General Direction of Education and Culture of the European Commission has
organised for October 18 to 25 an "
Erasmus
Week" in the thirty European countries participating in the programme.
Coinciding with this event, the General Direction of Education and Culture
of the European Commission will present the
Erasmus Student Charter, a mobility card that will be given to all the students
as from the academic course 2003/2004 which will establish the rights and
obligations of the Erasmus students.
