The ICP and ERASMUS+

Erasmus+ has been the European Union's funding programme for training and education for over 30 years. It promotes mobility within European Union countries and non-EU countries associated with the Erasmus+ programme for students (study or internship stays), doctoral students, researchers, teachers and all staff at higher education institutions.

Erasmus Charter

By signing the ERASMUS CHARTER FOR HIGHER EDUCATION for the period 2021-2027, the Catholic University of Paris (Institut Catholique de Paris - ICP) is fully living up to its motto ‘An Open Mind to the World’ and confirms its commitment to uphold the political objectives of the Erasmus+ programme:
  • Ensuring equal opportunities for beneficiaries in terms of mobility: non-discrimination and inclusion.
  • Supporting digital transformation in a human-centred way. 
  • Encouraging participants to adopt environmentally friendly practices.
  • Promoting civic engagement and active citizenship among Erasmus+ programme participants.

Erasmus+ at the heart of ICP's international strategy

The Erasmus+ programme is the cornerstone of ICP's international development, as evidenced by ICP’s ERASMUS POLICY STATEMENT 2021-2027.

It promotes ICP's capacity to cooperate at European level. The ICP currently has 117 partner universities located in 24 European Union countries and non-European Union countries associated with the Erasmus+ programme. 

It encourages and facilitates the mobility of students, teachers and staff, enabling everyone to realise their mobility plans. Building on the Erasmus+ programme's priority of “Inclusion and Diversity” for the period 2021-2027, the ICP has developed an inclusion strategy for mobility activities. The financial resources deployed by the Erasmus+ programme under this priority thus make it possible to support students facing obstacles and with fewer opportunities.

It contributes to the internationalisation of ICP campuses by welcoming an ever-increasing number of students and staff from partner universities as part of Erasmus+ mobility programmes and the constant and concomitant development since 2023 of a range of courses taught in English at the ICP.
