Erasmus+ program for the period 2021 – 2027
With a nearly doubled budget of €26 billion, the Erasmus+ Programme for the period 2021-2027 is more accessible, inclusive, digital, and environmentally responsible than before. It supports the European Green Deal, digitalization, the European Education Area, and Europe's recovery. Funding will be provided for learning mobility projects and cross-border cooperation for 10 million Europeans of all ages and backgrounds. Through Erasmus+, the resilience of education and training systems in the context of the pandemic will also be supported.
Erasmus+ is the European programme for education, training, youth, and sport. Launched in 2014, it integrates seven earlier programmes that existed until the end of 2013: the Lifelong Learning Programme (Erasmus, Leonardo da Vinci, Comenius, Grundtvig, Study Visits), Youth in Action, Erasmus Mundus, Tempus, Alfa, Edulink, and the programme for bilateral cooperation with industrialized countries in higher education.
The Erasmus+ Programme includes the implementation of three main Key Activities (KA):
- KA1: Educational mobility for citizens;
- KA2: Cooperation for innovation and exchange of good practices;
- KA3: Support for policy reform..
The participating countries include the Member States of the European Union, alongside Liechtenstein, Iceland, Norway, the Republic of North Macedonia, the Republic of Serbia, and the Republic of Turkey.
The programme is also open to other partner countries worldwide that are not formally associated with it. Since 2015–2016, a new activity has been introduced under Erasmus+: International Credit Mobility. This international educational mobility is aimed at students, as well as teaching and non-teaching staff, from higher education institutions moving to and from non-EU regions: Asia, Africa, the Americas, and countries in the EU's neighborhood. In this way, Erasmus+ offers opportunities to expand the geographical scope of academic exchange beyond Europe into so-called Partner Countries, aiming to promote European education in other parts of the world.
