The Erasmus Programme — formally launched in 1987 — takes its name from the Dutch humanist scholar who spent much of his career moving between European universities, which made him an unusually apt choice for a student mobility scheme. Lithuania's 2022 issue marks the programme's 35th anniversary. Over 13 million students had participated by that point, making it one of the most expansive educational exchange programmes in history.
Lithuania joined the programme upon EU accession in 2004.
