In 2017, the European Commission chose four projects to strengthen capacities in higher education in the Republic of Moldova, with a budget of €1 million. The National Office of the European Union program for education, training, youth and sport Erasmus + said that in 2017 it offered 506 credit mobility funds. This means that the university students and staff of Moldova could better familiarize themselves with the European higher education system, could implement the best practices and advance in the university internationalization process, IPN reports.

Traditionally, days to inform about the opportunities provided by Erasmus+ to universities in Moldova were staged in Chisinau, Balti, Cahul and Comrat. Twenty-two Moldovan universities are active in the Erasmus+ program.

Last year, it was decided that a new Jean Monnet project proposed by the Institute of International Relations of Moldova will also be implemented with financial support from Erasmus+.

The Erasmus program in Moldova was launched in 2014 and will continue until 2020. The goal of the program is to enhance competencies and employment by education modernization and by youth activities.
