One of the new goals of the Erasmus+ Programme for 2021-2027 is the promotion of equal opportunities and access, inclusion, diversity, and fairness across all its actions. Saint-Louis is committed to welcoming and supporting exchange students with physical, mental or health-related conditions during their mobility.
