abstract
Participation in Erasmus Programme in the framework of the Lifelong Learning Programme will improve the excellence
of education in Institutions of Higher Education by providing the possibility of bilateral student and teaching staff
exchange with leading European academic institutions. In additional, another important aspect of Erasmus is the
possibility of organizing Intensive Programmes (IP) where students and teachers from different academic European
Institutions will study specific topics in a compact way - short time. Is common knowledge that the experience of
studying abroad enriches students' lives in the academic and professional fields. Teaching Staff exchanges have similar
beneficial effects. In order to improve the quality and to increase the volume of student and teaching staff mobility in
Europe, to develop the quality and to increase the volume of multilateral cooperation between higher education
institutions in Europe was born this Intensive Programme entitled Entrepreneurship Education for European Students,
already approved by the Portugal National Agency for the Management of the Lifelong Learning Programme and will be
operational next academic year. So, this paper describes the Entrepreneurship Education for European Students Intensive
Programme as playing an important role in the lives of participants and in the development of Higher Education in
Europe.
