Cornelia Primosch is joined by Frédéric Vincent, spokesperson of the European Commission, to discuss recent figures on the Erasmus student exchange programme.
Since its launch in 1987, the student exchange programme has reached over 3 million European students going abroad as part of their academic curriculum.
In the - recently agreed - EU’s long-term budget for 2014-2020 (MFF), € 14.5 billion euro is allocated to the Erasmus programme: a 40 per cent increase compared to the former MFF budget.
“Going from one country to another is a key element for your training as a student in the EU”, says Vincent.
