Erasmus+ is a European Union initiative that aims to modernise education, training and youth work across Europe. A bid for a three year project that focuses on the development of critical thinking skills through innovative approaches and the exchange of good practices was submitted to Erasmus+ by the University of Lincoln in March 2017. The bid for the strategic partnership project was successful and the University and its partners were awarded €390,068 in September 2017.

The Assessment Companion for Thinking Skills (ACTS) Project is a partnership between seven institutions in the UK, Latvia and Finland.
