Erasmus Charter for Higher Education (ECHE)
The Erasmus Charter for Higher Education (ECHE) provides the general quality framework for European and international
cooperation activities a higher education institution may carry out within Erasmus+
ECHE is a pre-requisite for all higher education institutions located in a Programme country and willing to participate in
learning mobility of individuals and/or cooperation for innovation and good practices under Erasmus+
The ECHE is being awarded for the whole programme period, also for the new programme 2021-2017
The basic principles of the current ECHE will remainin the ECHE for 2021-2027
The new ECHE is not yet finalized, yet it’s updates will mirror the elements of the new programme:
• Commitment to implement digital mobility management in line with the European Student Card Initiative.
• Stronger formulation regarding inclusion
• Promotion of environmentally friendly practices
• Involvement of alumni
In the ECHE application procedure, HEIs aredivided in two catecories: ”FULL” & ”LIGHT”

KA1 Mobility
New feature: Blended intensive programmes
Definition: A combination of physical mobility with a virtual
component facilitating a collaborative online learning
exchange and teamwork. The virtualcomponent must bring the learnerstogether online to work collectively
and simultaneously on specificassignments that count towards the
overall learning outcomes.
Objectives of blendedmobility
Provide new and more flexible mobility formats as well as innovative ways of
learning and teaching
Reach to all types of students in all study fields
Practice a multidisciplinary, challenged based and international approaches as
well as more flexible curricula
04/12/2019 Opetushallitus 20
New feature: Short-term mobility for PhDStudentsObjectives of short term physical mobility for doctoral candidates
• Equal opportunities regardless of student/staff status
• More flexibility and better tailored mobility periods
• More opportunities for learning a range of transversal skills, working with foreign advisers on the thesis, training in presenting scientific information, acquiring specialized knowledge and skills, establish valuable contacts in Europe and beyond and for finding post-doctoral opportunities

New feature: International KA103
Sustainable international cooperation
Non-competitive for greater inclusion and accessibility

KA2 Cooperation Partnerships in HE• Decentralised Action, managed by National Agencies
• Main aim: HE quality and relevance
• Close links to policy and priorities at European and national level
• Developing and sharing results/deliverables, creating networks and developing joint activities, events etc.
Funding model
• Single lump sum covering project management and implementation, including production and sharing of deliverables
• Pre-defined lump-sum rates based on overall project size: mid and high-value
• Applications describe the efforts and resources that the applicants commit for the lump sum amount
• Proportionality: more expensive projects require more detailed description and higher level of ambition

Digital Roadmap
• Use of EWP to transfer data will become gradually mandatory in the next Erasmus programme
• 2021: Inter‐institutional agreements and Online learning agreements
• 2022: Nominations
• 2023: Transcripts of records
• Timescale depends on systems being fully tested by higher education institutions and confirmed fit for purpose!
04/12/2019 Opetushallitus 35
Joining EWP
• Three ways
• If you use an inhouse mobility management system, connect it to the EWP network using free plug-ins (APIs).
• If you are using a third-party software solution your supplier should beadding connection to the EWP network soon – ask them for details.
• If you do not have a mobility management system, or do not want to connect your in-house system to the EWP Network, then you can get accessvia the web-based, single-point-of-entry, the Erasmus Without Paper Dashboard.
