CMEPIUS: Centre of the Republic of Slovenia for Mobility and European Educational and Training Programmes

The Centre of the Republic of Slovenia for Mobility and European Educational and Training Programmes (CMEPIUS) is a public institution working in the field of international projects and international mobility. It was established in October 2003 and continues the work of the previous EU Programmes Agency. It performs two main tasks:

• co-ordinating the Lifelong Learning European Community Programme (successor of SOCRATES and LEONARDO da VINCI), and

• supporting development in education and training.

In addition, CMEPIUS pursues national programmes of mobility (bilateral and multilateral scholarships of the Republic of Slovenia and scholarships for Slovenes living abroad) and activities of some other European programmes in the area of education and training, including Erasmus Mundus, the eTwinning National Support Centre, and the European Language Label initiative. Within the activities of the European Research Area (ERA) the Centre also acts as a Bridgehead Organisation of the EURAXESS National Centre.

The team of the Centre is strongly dedicated to opening doors to experience for individuals and institutions through international programmes. We aim to offer opportunities to people of all ages and interests and to support the institutions of different profiles in their way to realisation of international projects in the field of education and training.
