The Erasmus Charter for Higher Education (ECHE) provides the general quality framework for European and international cooperation activities undertaken by higher education institutions within the Erasmus+ programme. This charter establishes essential standards and principles for higher education institutions when engaging in learning mobility and collaborative projects.

The Erasmus Charter for Higher Education (ECHE) is mandatory for higher education institutions located in Programme Countries, ensuring institutions meet the necessary quality benchmarks set forth by the European Commission. In contrast, higher education institutions situated in Partner Countries are not required to hold an ECHE. Instead, these institutions can establish their quality frameworks through inter-institutional agreements with Programme Country institutions.
