Erasmus+ (2014-2020), also called Erasmus Plus, is the new 14.7 billion euro catch-all framework program for education, training, youth and sport. The new Erasmus+ programme combines all the EU's current schemes for education, training, youth and sport, including the Lifelong Learning Programme (Erasmus, Leonardo da Vinci, Comenius, Grundtvig), Youth in Action and five international co-operation programmes (Erasmus Mundus, Tempus, Alfa, Edulink and the programme for co-operation with industrialised countries).

During the last few weeks number of agreements were signed between UrFU and future partners, such as University of Economics Varna (Bulgaria), Institute of Technology and Business in České Budějovice (Czech Republic), Turiba University (Latvia) and many others.

In case of receiving financial support from EU, UrFU students and academic staff will have a chance to participate in Erasmus +.
