The Erasmus Charter for Higher Education (ECHE) provides the general quality framework for European and international co-operation activities a Higher Education Institution may carry out within the Programme. It is a prerequisite for HEIs to organise student mobility and teaching and other staff mobility, to carry out Erasmus intensive language courses and intensive programmes, and to apply for multilateral projects, networks, accompanying measures and to organise preparatory visits. Renewal of Staffordshire University’s Erasmus Charter for HE will be applied for at an institutional level.

The 2014-2020 EU programme for education, training, youth and sport supports, among other policy objectives, the European modernisation and internationalisation agenda in higher education. The Programme will cover the period 2014-2020 and replaces seven existing programmes, including the Lifelong Learning programme (LLP) which will end with the academic year 2013-2014.
