Erasmus+ is the EU Programme in the fields of education, training, youth and sport. It offered a life changing experience to more than 10 million participants over the last 30 years, and will continue offering opportunities for a wide variety of individuals and organisations for the next seven-year lifecycle (2021-2027). Building on the success of the programme in the period 2014-2020, Erasmus+ strengthens its efforts, focusing on its qualitative impact and contributing to more inclusive and cohesive, greener and digitally fit societies.
Erasmus+ offers mobility and cooperation opportunities in
- higher education
- vocational education and training
- school education (including early childhood education and care)
- adult education
- youth
- and sport
Erasmus programme gives opportunities to students, trainees, staff and volunteers to spend a period abroad to increase their skills and employability. It supports organisations to work in transnational partnership and to share innovative practices in the fields of education, training and youth.
The actions of the Erasmus + programme are divided into decentralized actions and centralized actions. The decentralized actions are managed in each programme country by National Agencies that are appointed by their national authorities in EU Member States and third countries associated to the Programme. The centralized actions are managed at a European level by the European Education and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA) located in Brussels. For strands of the Erasmus+ programme that work with countries outside the EU National Erasmus+ Offices have been set up in a number of eligible third countries not associated to the Programme.
