The Erasmus Charter for Higher Education (ECHE) provides the general quality framework for European and international cooperation activities which a higher education institution may carry out within Erasmus+.
Each European Higher Education Institution must hold the ECHE – Erasmus Charter for Higher Education – to be eligible to participate in the key actions of the Erasmus+ Programme. The ECHE is an “international quality certification” that is awarded and renewed every seven years by the European Commission after a thorough assessment of several criteria and principles and the review of the Institution’s Erasmus Policy Statement – EPS.
The International Opera Academy has been awarded an Erasmus Charter for Higher Education (ECHE) for the period 2021-2027.
