Was Erasmus Altogether Too European?
Was Erasmus Altogether Too European?

Summary/Abstract: Britain’s exit from the European Union need not have meant quitting the very successful Erasmus+ scheme for student and staff exchange; but such was the enthusiasm for complete severance from European institutions following the 2016 referendum, among jubilant ‘eurosceptic’ Conservatives, that this was one more link that had to be broken. The Erasmus+ scheme is being replaced by the so-called Turing scheme; but in a number of ways, it is an inferior scheme, not least in that it is not truly reciprocal. What is more, it is ‘global’, and therefore more expensive, and more exclusive, than the scheme that it is replacing.
