According to the Erasmus website participating countries include
non-EU Iceland, Liechtenstein,
Macedonia, Norway & Turkey.

EEA and accession states.

Yes, Turkey, due to accede in 1,000 years or 10 years, depending on
whether you listen to Cameron or
Major.

In any case, why limit it to Europe, why not a scheme for the whole
the world?

I'm not sufficiently familiar with Erasmus to be able to answer that.

quote from wonkypedia:

"There are currently more than 4,000 higher institutions participating
in Erasmus across the 33 countries involved in the Erasmus programme
and by 2013..."

as 33 is 5 more than the number of countries in the EU, it is clear
that being a member of the EU is not a pre-requisite to being within
Erasmus, so all those claiming that it is, are lying

Who are these "people" who are "all claiming" that? Iceland is EEA, not
EU.
