Erasmus+ International Credit Mobility
Erasmus+ International Credit Mobility (KA171) is a programme that promotes the exchange of students, academics, and administrative staff with third countries not associated with the Erasmus+ Programme. These third countries are mostly non-EU and non-EFTA countries and non-candidate countries of the EU.
Unlike the EU Mobility (KA131), ICM mobilities are carried out through specific projects with partner universities, and the period of implementation is usually three years. Projects are submitted in a yearly call in February, and the results are usually announced in August.
The main goal of ICM is to help students acquire key skills as they progress through their education towards graduation and employment. Many employers view international experience and the ability to work and cooperate with people of different cultural backgrounds to be essential traits in our increasingly globalized and connected world.
Additionally, staff participation in ICM can result in individuals gaining new competencies through their interactions with international colleagues, which may assist in their continuous professional development. It can also improve their foreign language skills and provide the opportunity to experience a new culture and way of life.
