Erasmus+ partner universities
The Erasmus programme initiated by the European Commission encourages the mobility of students and staff with partners in the Erasmus area and beyond. Funding is granted to international cooperation projects with partners in and outside of Europe.
The SDI München has been awarded the Erasmus Charter for Higher Education on the basis of its European Policy Statement and is thus entitled to apply for and implement Erasmus measures.
