The project
ESU is proud to take part in the Erasmus4all project, an Erasmus + project K2 – Cooperation partnerships in higher education led by the University of Porto.
Erasmus for All project will deal with this most difficult of questions: what would the ideal Erasmus grant system look like, taking into consideration inclusiveness and affordability requirements?
