The participating countries are distributed in different geographical regions, and Algeria is a participating country belonging to Region 3 called: Southern Mediterranean Countries.
– Funding opportunities are available through Erasmus+ for public and private institutions operating in the field of higher education and training. This concerns the international dimension of the Erasmus+ programme outside the European Union.

The activities that Algeria benefits from are as follows:

This activity involves two parts:
