Erasmus Mundus is a cooperation and mobility scheme in the area of higher education launched by the Europe Aid Cooperation Office in order to promote the European system of higher education and the European Union as a center of knowledge and excellence. The objectives of the Program are to promote the exchange of persons, knowledge and skills between the EU and third countries at a higher education level and to improve the quality of education. Partnership in education and research, as well as formation of a network of academic mobility, contributes to intercultural understanding and strengthening of the ties between the European Union and the Western Balkans.
The University of Niš has so far entered several mobility programs: BASILEUS, EM2-STEM, SIGMA, EUROWEB, ERAWEB, EUROWEB+, ERAWEB II, SIGMA Agile and GREEN-TECH.
