[edit] Merge?

I don't think its appropriate to merge ESN page with the erasmus page because the two things are separate entities. One is an official E.C. program. The other is a student's association.

  • Personally I wouldn't mind a merge if one of the articles was a stub however both are good articles in their own right and are capable of standing alone. -- Lochaber 08:35, 12 August 2005 (UTC)

There should be a link between these articles but they shouldn't be merged. The ESN doesn't represent all Erasmus students, for example it is not particularly active in the UK, but the information on the Erasmus Programme and the 'Erasmus Experience' are universal for all Erasmus students 129.12.200.49 16:16, 4 October 2005 (UTC)UK Socrates Erasmus Council

[edit] Europe-building?

I think it would be interesting to add something about the long terms effect on Europe of the Erasmus programme. Almost 1.5 million students have now lived in another country and made lots of European friends. This must be having an effect on culture and Europe as a whole. Anybody got any links to interesting data on this? Hamster128 10:41, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

I read a newspaper article quoting the political scientist Stefan Wolff on this topic (see here). Cordless Larry 23:21, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] erasmus and erasmus mundus

these two programs are quite different.One is for the European students and in the other Europeans students are only exceptionally allowed. The latter is for the third country nationals. By no stretch of imagination, they can be clubbed together.

[edit] Is this a coincidence?

Is it coincidence that the latest entries in the Dune series of novels includes a character with this name? The books are Dune: The Butlerian Jihad, Dune: The Machine Crusade, Dune: The Battle of Corrin, and Hunters of Dune. One more, Sandworms of Dune is due out next year. The character is a sentient robot. See more about this robot at Erasmus (Dune) Will (Talk - contribs) 02:09, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] mention award

Maybe we should mention the programme received the Prince of Asturias Awards for international cooperation in 2004 --euyyn 20:02, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Update in 2007

Quite a lot has changed recently. I have tried to incorporate some of the new stuff (like the new programme) and to add some info about earlier years. Raggio 22:51, 10 March 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Spelling

(heading added subsequently)

++++ Also, program is continually misspelled. Correct this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.126.181.10 (talk • contribs) 2007-06-18

"Programme" is correct European English spelling. --Boson 11:42, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
