Second, the meaning of the name "Erasmus Mundus"? Desiderius Erasmus (1469- 1536) devoted his whole life to popularizing the concept of global wisdom, which he believed was the key to mutual understanding between people. Erasmus was not only proficient in theology, pedagogy, rhetoric and classicism, but also studied and taught in France, Britain, Italy, Switzerland and now Belgium. In view of his outstanding career as a mobile European scholar, Council of Europe decided to name the first mobile project award for European students in his name: the Erasmus Prize awarded by 1987, which won more than one million European students the opportunity to study in other European countries.
In 2004, the EU decided to add "Mundus" (meaning "world" in Latin) to the existing "Erasmus" in order to set up a new project to support the exchange of students between Europe and other countries in the world. 3.
