The European Commission has integrated various
educational, training, sports and youth initiatives under a single programme,
the Erasmus +. With a budget of nearly €14,7 billion for the period 2014 to
2020, the new programme replaces the previous Lifelong Learning education and
training programme, Youth in Action, as well as several smaller international
higher education programmes.
Iceland Academy of the Arts participates in this
programme, allowing students to apply for grants for exchange studies and
internships in Europe. Additionally, staff members have the opportunity to
apply for grants for teaching and training abroad.
The ERASMUS+ offers grants to travel between all
participating countries in the programme. This includes the 27 European Union
countries, the EFTA countries, Iceland, Lichtenstein and Norway, in addition to
Turkey and Macedonia.
