On 7 December 2006 José Manuel Barroso, President of the European Commission, and Ján Figel’, Commissioner in charge of Education & Training, hailed the ERASMUS programme for its leading role as a driver for modernising Europe’s higher education systems. They called for this role to be further reinforced as they launched the celebrations for the programme's 20th anniversary in Brussels. The ERASMUS programme encourages student and teacher mobility, and promotes transnational cooperation projects among universities across Europe. The scheme currently covers nine out of every ten European higher education establishments. |
