Mobility

Erasmus + aims to improve qualifications and employability and modernize education, training and youth work. The program will last seven years and will have a budget of 14,700 million euros. That figure represents an increase of 40% compared to current spending levels, which demonstrates the EU’s commitment to invest in these areas.

Erasmus + will offer more than four million Europeans opportunities to study, train, gain work experience and volunteer abroad.

Erasmus + will finance transnational partnerships between institutions and educational, training and youth organizations, aimed at fostering cooperation and building bridges between the worlds of education and work to overcome the skills gaps that Europe faces.

It will also support national efforts to modernize education, training and youth systems. In the field of sport, support will be given to grassroots projects and to the solution of cross-border problems such as match-fixing, doping or violence and racism.

Erasmus +, which brings together the seven existing European education, training and youth programs, will include sports aids for the first time. As an integrated program, Erasmus + offers more opportunities for cooperation between the sectors of education, training, youth and sports. Thanks to simplified funding rules, Erasmus + is easier to access than previous programs.

The Call for International Exchange Scholarships aims to offer students the possibility of completing their academic training in higher education institutions with which there is a collaboration agreement. The completion of studies at the destination university will allow students to enrich their academic development and live a personal experience in a different cultural environment.

The exchanges carried out within the framework of this program entail the recognition of studies. The validation will be carried out in the center of the sending university where the student is enrolled. Once selected, the scholarship students have to contact the International Relations Coordinator of their school to prepare the recognition of the credits.

Goals

• To allow students to benefit not only educationally, but also linguistically and culturally from the learning experience in other countries of the world.
• To encourage cooperation between institutions and, this way, enrich the educational environment of the host institutions.
• To contribute to the creation of a community of young and future well-qualified professionals, with open minds and international experience.
• To facilitate the transfer of credits and the recognition of stays abroad through the ECTS system or a compatible credit system.

This stay will provide not only cultural and linguistic enrichment but also academic enrichment through the validation of studies and credits.

When foreign students come to Spain, they undergo an adaptation process that sometimes becomes complicated. A personal and informal contact with a UCLM student can greatly facilitate this adaptation. Being a Cicerone student means helping the exchange student settle into a new and different environment. This is a responsibility but also an opportunity to know another culture and to improve your knowledge of the foreign language. As a Cicerone student, we want you to help those who visit us, especially at the beginning of their  stay, which is when they will need your help the most.

The SICUE program is a system of students exchange among Spanish universities that facilitates the student to experience different teaching systems, as well as the different social and cultural aspects of other cities and autonomous communities. This exchange of students will be based on trust between institutions, information transparency, reciprocity and flexibility.
