Erasmus+ and Radboud University

For decades, Radboud University has invested in building relationships with universities around the world. Erasmus+ is invaluable in this regard. Every year, hundreds of staff and students take advantage of the funding to go abroad or to visit Radboud University. But mobility is just one of the many benefits of Erasmus+.

Individual mobility

Each year, Radboud University applies for Erasmus+ grants, funded by the European Union, in order to provide students and staff with a grant. This grant allows students to study abroad or complete an internship abroad. For staff, the grant can support activities such as conducting research, teaching at other institutions, or participating in training courses. While the Erasmus+ programme primarily focuses on exchanges within the European Union, it also facilitates exchanges with non-European countries.
