On
November 28, the European Commission launched the
2024 call for proposals under Erasmus+, the EU’s programme to
support education, training, youth and sport in Europe. With a budget of €4.3 billion for next year, Erasmus+ will continue to support transnational experiences of students in
higher education and vocational education and training. The programme also offers opportunities to
adult learners, educators and staff, and young people in non-formal learning programmes.
Cooperation activities under Erasmus+ will continue to bring people and organisations together to work on the programme’s four overarching
key priorities:
inclusion, active citizenship and democratic participation, green and digital transitions. Erasmus+ will also continue its key role in
promoting common EU values. All programme beneficiaries and the activities they implement will comply and promote the values of
human dignity and rights, freedom, democracy, equality, and the rule of law. Under this Erasmus+ call for project applications, any public or private body active in the fields of education, training, youth and sport can apply for funding.
Background
The
total budget available for
Erasmus+ from 2021 to 2027 amounts to
