Description
Erasmus+ is the European Union’s primary funding programme for education, training, youth, and sport, running from 2021 to 2027. It supports a wide range of activities, including student and staff mobility, institutional partnerships, policy reform, and capacity-building projects. The programme aims to foster skills development, employability, intercultural understanding, and innovation in education systems across Europe and beyond. Opportunities exist for both individuals and organisations, with calls for proposals released annually and managed either centrally by the European Education and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA) or by National Agencies in participating countries.
