Erasmus + Social Inclusion and Sustainability

Social participation, diversity and sustainability are guiding themes of the Erasmus+ program generation 2021-2027. With a variety of measures at different levels, the program aims to make a significant contribution to more equal opportunities in all areas of education.  Constructor University shares these goals and encourages all of our students and staff to participate fully in the Erasmus+ programming and encourage all that qualify to access this additional support.  We believe that every student or staff member that would like to participate in a mobility or experience abroad should be able to do so.
