European UnionAbout the Erasmus+
Erasmus+ is the EU's primary funding programme for education, training, youth, and sport. It aims to empower individuals and organisations to grow, connect, and shape their futures by facilitating learning experiences across borders.
The programme is divided into two main management structures: decentralised activities managed by National Agencies and centralised activities managed by the European Education and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA).
For individual applicants, the programme supports student exchanges, student traineeships abroad, and Erasmus Mundus joint master's degrees. These specific opportunities allow students to apply directly for their placements.
Other opportunities, such as group youth exchanges, teaching assignments, and staff training, require applicants to go through their home institution, school, or organisation rather than applying independently.
The programme operates under a set of priorities for the 2021-2027 period. Applicants are expected to align their project proposals or participation with these defined priorities as outlined in the official Programme Guide.
