This includes recognizing challenges and success factors in deploying generative AI. - Developing and piloting innovative, pedagogically sound approaches, methods, and practices for using generative AI in education and training. - Producing practical guidelines, materials, and use cases for the critical and responsible use of generative AI systems. These outputs should be easily disseminated and implemented at organizational levels and include clear recommendations to inform future policy initiatives. The call encourages projects that pay special attention to ethical considerations, purposeful use, and pedagogical underpinnings of generative AI technologies. ## Due Dates - Application deadline: May 27, 2025, 17:00 Brussels time ## Funding Amount - Total budget for this topic: approximately €4,333,333 in 2025 - Funding is provided as ERASMUS Lump Sum Grants under a single-stage submission process. ## Eligibility - Eligible countries and other conditions are detailed in the official call document. - Applicants must demonstrate financial and operational capacity as per the call requirements. - The call is open to education and training institutions and organizations involved in these sectors. ## Application Process - Submission is via the EU Funding & Tenders Portal. - Proposals must adhere to a page limit of 70 pages for the technical description. - The call uses a single-stage submission and evaluation process. - Evaluation criteria, scoring, and thresholds are described in the call document. - Timeline: - Call publication: December 18, 2024 - Submission deadline: May 27, 2025 - Evaluation period: June to September 2025 - Information to applicants: November 2025 - Grant agreement signature: February 2026 ## Additional Information - The call is part of the ERASMUS+ programme under the FORWARD-LOOKING PROJECTS initiative. - Projects should focus on the critical, ethical, and pedagogically sound use of generative AI in education. - Outputs should support policy development and be practical for organizational implementation. - Detailed guidance, application templates, and legal documents are provided in the call documentation. ## External Links - [Official call page on EU Funding & Tenders Portal](https://ec.europa.eu/info/funding-tenders/opportunities/portal/screen/opportunities/topic-details/ERASMUS-EDU-2025-PI-FORWARD-DIGITAL-AI?isExactMatch=true&status=31094501,31094502&order=DESC&pageNumber=1&pageSize=50&sortBy=startDate) - [Call document (PDF)](https://ec.europa.eu/info/funding-tenders/opportunities/docs/2021-2027/erasmus/wp-call/2027/call-fiche_erasmus-edu-2025-pi-forward_en.pdf) - [ERASMUS Programme Guide](https://erasmus-plus.ec.europa.eu/erasmus-programme-guide) - [ERASMUS Lump Sum MGA Model Grant Agreement](https://ec.europa.eu/info/funding-tenders/opportunities/docs/2021-2027/common/agr-contr/ls-mga_en.pdf) - [ERASMUS+ Work Programme 2025](https://erasmus-plus.ec.europa.eu/document/2025-annual-work-programme-for-the-implementation-of-erasmus-the-union-programme-for-education-training-youth-and-sport) - [EU Financial Regulation 2024/2509](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX:32024R2509#:~:text=Regulation%20%28EU%2c%20Euratom%29%202024/2509%20of%20the) ## Contact Information | Contact Point | Details | |---------------|---------| | Funder | European Commission, Brussels, Belgium | | Phone | +32 2 299 11 11 | | General Contact | [Contact the European Commission](https://commission.europa.eu/about-european-commission/contact_en) | | Support Email | EACEA-Policy-Support@ec.europa.eu (for call-related questions) | | IT Helpdesk | [IT Helpdesk Contact Form](https://ec.europa.eu/info/funding-tenders/opportunities/portal/screen/support/helpdesks/contact-form) |
