Students/Depatrment Staff Mobility

Erasmus+ is the European Commission's program for education, training, youth and sport, which aims to strengthen skills and modernize education, training and youth systems for the period 2021-2027 and has been in force since January 1, 2021. It replaced the EU programs that covered all areas of education: Lifelong Learning – Erasmus, Leonardo da Vinci, Comenius, Grundtvig, Tempus, etc.

A.1 Program ERASMUS+ Studies   

The Erasmus+ Studies program subsidizes the mobility of undergraduate, postgraduate students and doctoral candidates of EKPA for the purpose of studying at European Universities, with which there are bilateral agreements. Erasmus+ Σπουδές financially suports the mobility of undergraduate, postgraduate students and doctoral candidates of the Greek National Academy of Sciences for the purpose of studying at European Universities, with which there are bilateral agreements.

The main objective of the program is the full academic recognition of theperiod of study abroad. Students choose from the host University's curriculum courses which must correspond to a maximum of 30 ECTS credits per semester of study or 20 ECTS credits in the case of studies completed within a quarter. The recognition of the studies is done through the transfer and matching of the score and credits with courses of their Department, if they are successfully examined at the host University.

The selection and assignment of coursesis recorded in the"Learning Agreement for Studies"form,which is completed >with the guidance of the academic managersof EKPA. The duration of participation is one academic semester. PhD candidates can exceptionally participate for a shorter period of time (minimum two months).

A.2 Program Erasmus+ Placement   

The mobility of students for internships abroad aims to gain work experience relevant to the subject of their studies and can be carried out with a physical presence at the host institution, in the host country. It is noted that attending courses at a higher educational institution/institute or preparing part of their master's/doctoral thesis cannot be considered an internship.

Students can move for a total of 12 months in each study cycle (undergraduate, postgraduate, doctoral) regardless of the number and type of mobility (studies or internship). The movement of students takes place through the bilateral agreements of the Department in which they study with corresponding departments of the collaborating Universities.
