For the academic year 2018, a total of 240 Indonesian students and scholars have successfully earned scholarships from the European Union (EU) under the Erasmus+ (Erasmus Plus) Programme. Soon the Erasmus+ awardees will travel to various EU Member States to undertake a Bachelor, Master, Doctorate or Post-Doctorate studies, either full degrees or short-term exchange programmes. Some of the Erasmus+ awardees will study in at least two different universities located in two different European countries.

During the award ceremony today (14/7) in Jakarta, the EU Ambassador to Indonesia, H.E. Vincent Guérend, and the Acting Director for American and European Intraregional and Interregional Cooperation of the Indonesian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (KEMLU), Ms Virdiana Ririen Hapsari, congratulated all awardees on their success in obtaining the Erasmus+ scholarships.

EU Ambassador Vincent Guérend said: “These Erasmus+ scholarships offer a lifetime opportunity to learn more about European cultures, languages, academic systems and, not least, people at some of the best universities in Europe. Apart from improving student's expertise, the scholarships are also meant to enrich young people's life experiences, help create mutual understanding and openness between people and cultures. We hope that these scholarships will help them to further excel and that upon return to Indonesia they will come back with enhanced skills and knowledge useful for Indonesia and themselves, as well as fond memories of Europe."
