In that specific year when Erasmus programme is celebrating its 30-th anniversary since its beginning in Europe, it is very important to put on the front row all its significant contributions to the development of interuniversity cooperation, internationalization of educational systems, exchange of good practices and stimulation of interest of millions young people to mobility aiming at personal self-improvement and development.

University of Ruse dedicates its Fourth Erasmus week to the celebration of this remarkable anniversary, but at the same time wants to present a forum for exchange of opinions in connection to the opening of Erasmus to the whole world. Expansion of the programme brings additional value to the universities from program countries, as well as to their colleagues from the partner countries because it promotes mutual acquaintance and understanding, makes academic systems closer, enriches the traditions and inserts innovative elements in educational practices.
