Background

The programme was developed in partnership with Hungarian universities to strengthen international relations in the higher education sector. It is similar to the Erasmus+ Programme as a lump-sum grant is provided to model-changed universities that can be used from 1st June 2024 to implement student, teacher, researcher and staff mobilities and teacher exchanges on the basis of new bilateral contracts.
