As you may know, 2017 is a special year in the history of Erasmus. In 2017 the Programme is celebrating its 30th anniversary, earmarking 3 decades of successful exchange of students within Europe. As of 2015, the number of Armenian students and university staff who will profit from Erasmus+ mobility has tripled. In this regard, Erasmus+ Information Days in Yerevan are an excellent platform for presenting and welcoming Erasmus+ achievements both in Armenia and worldwide.
