The Erasmus Charter for Higher Education (ECHE) is the prerequisite that higher education institutions in the European Union must obtain in order to participate in individual learning mobility programmes and cooperation programmes for innovation and good practices. The Charter contains the fundamental principles and minimum conditions that institutions must respect in carrying out the activities envisaged by European programmes.
