Erasmus+

What is Erasmus+?

Erasmus+ is the European Union’s programme for education, training, youth, and sport, aiming to enhance employability, skills development, and the modernisation of education and training systems across all sectors of lifelong learning (higher education, vocational education and training, school education, adult education, and youth activities).

 

Key Actions of Erasmus+

The programme is structured around three main Key Actions:

  • Key Action 1 (KA1): Learning Mobility of Individuals

Supports the mobility of students, teaching staff, employees, young people, and professionals through international mobility for study, work, teaching, or training.

  • Key Action 2 (KA2): Cooperation for Innovation and the Exchange of Good Practices

Includes:

  • Strategic Partnerships across all fields of education and youth
  • Knowledge Alliances and Sector Skills Alliances
  • Capacity Building activities in the youth field
  • Key Action 3 (KA3): Support for Policy Reform

Promotes the development and implementation of educational policy reforms, exchange of experiences, and cooperation with non-EU countries.

Additional Erasmus+ Components

  • Sport Actions: Support partnerships and promote participation in sports activities.

Participating Countries

  • Programme Countries: All EU Member States, as well as Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, North Macedonia, and Turkey — fully participate in all actions of the programme.
