Erasmus Plus Programme

What is Erasmus+?

Erasmus+ is the EU Programme in the fields of education, training, youth and sport for the period 2014-2020. It builds on the achievements of more than 25 years of European programmes in the fields of education, training and youth, covering both an intra-European as well as an international cooperation dimension. Erasmus+ is the result of the integration of the following European programmes implemented by the Commission during the period 2007-2013: 

  • Lifelong Learning Programme. 
  • Youth in Action Programme. 
  • Erasmus Mundus Programme. 
  • Tempus. 
  • Alfa. 
  • Edulink.
  • Programmes of cooperation with industrialized countries in the field of higher education. 

These programmes have been supporting Actions in the fields of higher education (including its international dimension), vocational education and training, school education, adult education and youth (including its international dimension). 

Important Features of the Erasmus+ Programme 

  • Recognition and validation of skills and qualifications. 
  • Dissemination and exploitation of project results. 
  • Open access for educational materials, documents and media produced by Erasmus+. 
  • International dimension 
  • Multilingualism 

Erasmus+ aims at going beyond these programmes, by promoting synergies and cross-fertilisation throughout the different fields of education, training and youth, removing artificial boundaries between the various actions and project formats, fostering new ideas, attracting new actors from the world of work and civil society and stimulating new forms of cooperation. Erasmus+ aims at becoming a more effective instrument to address the real needs in terms of human and social capital development in Europe and beyond. 

Erasmus+ provides grants for a wide range of actions and activities in the fields of education, training, youth and sport. The 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 new sport action will support grassroots projects and cross-border challenges such as combating match-fixing, doping, violence and racism. 

What is the budget?

The Programme has an overall indicative financial envelope of €14.774 billion for the seven years (2014-2020) under Heading 1 of the EU Budget. The annual budget is adopted by the Budgetary Authority.
