Latvijas Lauksaimniecības universitāte (LLU) Erasmus programmu īsteno kopš 1999.gada. 2014.gadā LLU piešķirta Erasmus universitātes harta 2014.-2020.gadam, kas ir universitātes starptautiskās sadarbības kvalitāti apliecinošs dokuments. Dalība Erasmus+ programmā ir stiprinājusi LLU vietu Eiropas augstākās izglītības telpā. Erasmus+ programmai ir bijusi un ir vadošā loma universitātes studiju procesa internacionalizācijas procesā. Tā sekmējusi studiju kvalitātes izaugsmi, pilnveidojusi studentu un akadēmiskā personāla zināšanas un prasmes. LLU attīstības stratēģijā 2014.-2020.gadam internacionalizācija atzīmēta kā viena no LLU vadības darbības prioritātēm. Tādā veidā arī Erasmus+ programmai tiek veltīta liela uzmanība, lai uzlabotu gan iebraucošo studentu studiju kvalitāti un sadzīves servisu, gan veicinātu izbraucošo studentu un mācībspēku mobilitātes skaitu un kvalitāti. Erasmus+ programmas īstenošanas rezultātā LLU docētāji ir sagatavojuši vairākus studiju kursus angļu valodā, kas veido pamatu LLU piedāvājumam pilna laika studijām ārvalstu studentiem, kas savukārt, veicina apmaiņas studentu piesaisti. Tādā veidā LLU ir sagatavotas vairākas studiju programmas bakalaura, maģistra un doktorantūras studijām angļu valodā ar mērķi piesaistīt vairāk pilna laika ārzemju studentus. LLU Erasmus+ programmas ietvaros ir noslēgti ap 130 starpinstitucionālie līgumi, kas ir pamats starptautiskās sadarbības paplašināšanai ar programmas dalībvalstu augstākās izglītības iestādēm.LLU šajā projektā ir īstenojusi visas plānotās mobilitātes: studentu mobilitāti studijām (SMS), studentu mobilitāti praksēm (SMP), docēšanas mobilitāti (STA) un personāla apmācības un pieredzes pilnveides mobilitāti (STT). Visas plānotās mobilitātes ir īstenotas. Pozitīvais aspekts ir tas, ka pieaug studentu mobilitāte gan studijām, gan praksēm LLU prioritārajās jomās: mežsaimniecībā, veterinārajā medicīnā un pārtikas tehnoloģijā. Šajā studiju gadā Erasmus+ mobilitātē iesaistījušies visu astoņu fakultāšu studenti un pārstāvētas visas studiju programmas. Joprojām jāpieliek pūles, lai vairāk motivētu lauksaimniecības studiju programmu studentus iesaistīties apmaiņas programmā. Visi plānotie rezultāti ir pilnībā sasniegti un pat pārsniegti visos mobilitātes veidos.

The Latvia University of Agriculture (LLU) has been implementing Erasmus programme since 1999.
