The Erasmus Charter for Higher Education (ECHE) provides the quality framework for Erasmus+ funded activities carried out by Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). The aims of Erasmus+ support the European modernisation and internationalisation agendas in higher education, in particular the quality of student and staff mobility. By signing the ECHE, an HEI confirms that its participation in Erasmus+ is part of its own strategy for modernisation and internationalisation.
