For over three decades, Erasmus+ has been at the forefront of international educational exchanges, connecting students, teachers, and institutions across 33 European countries. This initiative is designed to foster collaboration, enrich the academic experience, and promote a diverse and inclusive educational environment for higher education students, teachers, and institutions in Europe.

Erasmus+ goes beyond academic pursuits. It also plays a vital role in promoting common European Union values, such as human dignity, freedom, democracy, equality, and the rule of law. All beneficiaries and activities within the program uphold and champion these values, making Erasmus+ a force for positive change in the world.

Calls for Proposals: Your Pathway to Excellence

The Erasmus+ program issues regular calls for proposals, enabling educational institutions to take part in transformative projects that span the spectrum of education and training. These projects encompass everything from promoting active citizenship and democratic participation to advancing green and digital transitions in education.

Seven Erasmus+ calls for proposals with an international dimension were launched from 2014. The latest call was published at the end of November 2023, with a budget of €4.3 billion for the next year.
