The Erasmus program is supporting the internationalisation at the University of Jena and the mobility of students and staff ist the most important subject. The University of Jena is actively taking part in the Erasmus program for about 30 years. It is the most sucessful European Mobility program and also the most valuable exchange program at the University of Jena. The major objective of the program at the University of Jena is to offer as many students and staff as possible the opportunity to experience a study or work period abroad. Due to the internationalization process at the University of Jena it is our greatest goal to raise the number of mobilities. Erasmus is understood as the best opportunity for an intercultural experience. Students broaden their horizons, enrich their academic and intercultural background. Students and staff are mulitpliers and promote the Erasmus program within the university. Staff members taking part in the Erasmus programm improve their profile through newly achieved experiences which will enrich their teaching. The support of international exchange and cooperation will stay one of the most important objectives within our internationalisation strategy.
