https://erasmus-plus.ec.europa.eu/pl/programme-guide/part-a/eligible-countries
Partner Countries Recruitment (i.e. the rest of the world)
The Erasmus+ Programme enables students to undertake mobility not only in European Union Member States but also in selected European countries outside the EU, such as Switzerland and the United Kingdom, as well as in other regions of the world, including Asia and Latin America.
Mobility to a selected foreign institution can only be carried out after an inter-institutional agreement has been concluded between the home university and the receiving institution.
If such an agreement has not yet been concluded at the recruitment stage, the receiving institution must express its willingness to sign one. This declaration should be obtained already at the student recruitment stage.
A student planning a mobility to an institution with which no agreement has yet been concluded should have confirmation from the receiving institution that it is interested in establishing cooperation and signing the required agreement.
The mobility can ultimately take place once the agreement procedure has been successfully completed.
