O International Credit Mobility is an Erasmus+ sub-programme that aims to develop cooperation between Europe and the rest of the world in order to improve the quality of education in European countries, increasing their attractiveness and competitiveness on a global scale, making European citizens active members in an increasingly globalised society.
Teachers interested in developing a joint project with a non-European HEI (Higher Education Institution) can carry out a Teaching Mission in one of the 12 regions covered by the programme and the budget awarded to each region by the National Erasmus Agency. See below Handbook.
Every year, the Rectory of the University of Lisbon submits an ICM application to the National Erasmus Agency. Teachers interested in obtaining a grant for an ICM project should contact their department to find out about the necessary procedures.
See below for details of the current call for applications
