ERASMUS CHARTER

We’ve been awarded the Erasmus Charter for Higher Education (ECHE) by the European Commission. It means that we will be able to participate in the Erasmus+ programme from 1 January 2014. The Charter covers the whole of the period of the Erasmus+ programme until 2020.

Thanks to the ECHE award, E.N.I.T. will be able to participate in all the actions promoted within the new Erasmus + programme (mobility, cooperation and policies for change) in the global 2020 Europe Strategy.

EUROPEAN PROJECT SEMESTER

Eu­ro­pean Project Se­mes­ter is a pro­gramme of­fered by 17 Eu­ro­pean uni­ver­si­ties in 12 coun­tries through­out Eu­rope to stu­dents who have com­pleted at least two years of study. EPS is cre­ated with en­gi­neer­ing stu­dents in mind, but other stu­dents who can par­tic­i­pate in an en­gi­neer­ing project are also welcome.

The programme is crafted to ad­dress the de­sign re­quire­ments of the de­gree and pre­pare en­gi­neer­ing stu­dents with all the nec­es­sary skills to face the chal­lenges of today’s world econ­omy. EPS is a mix­ture of “Project Re­lated Courses” and project organized/​problem based learn­ing. Stu­dents work in in­ter­na­tional and usu­ally in­ter­dis­ci­pli­nary teams of 3–6 stu­dents on their projects, and most of the projects are in­ter­dis­ci­pli­nary. Some projects are done in co­op­er­a­tion with com­mer­cial busi­nesses and in­dus­tries, other projects are more aca­d­e­mic. Stu­dents learn to learn and to take re­spon­s­abil­ity for their learn­ing and their project work and they de­velop their in­ter­cul­tural com­pe­tences, their com­mu­ni­ca­tion skills and their in­ter­per­sonal skills.
