Erasmus+ is the Union programme supporting actions in the fields of education and training, youth and sport. With a budget of €14.7 billion for the period 2014-2020, Erasmus+ helps European countries to modernise and improve their education and training systems as well as their youth and sport policies, reinforcing their role as drivers for growth, employment, competitiveness, innovation and social cohesion.
The Programme aims to provide to over 4 million Europeans with the opportunity to gain competences and gain personal, socio-educational and professional development through studies, training, work experiences or volunteering abroad. It also aims to foster quality improvements, innovation, excellence and internationalisation of organisations active in education and training, youth and sport, and promotes initiatives that support policy reforms at all levels.

Erasmus+ is the Union programme supporting actions in the fields of education and training, youth and sport. With a budget of €14.7 billion for the period 2014-2020, Erasmus+ helps European countries to modernise and improve their education and training systems as well as their youth and sport policies, reinforcing their role as drivers for growth, employment, competitiveness, innovation and social cohesion.
The Programme aims to provide to over 4 million Europeans with the opportunity to gain competences and gain personal, socio-educational and professional development through studies, training, work experiences or volunteering abroad. It also aims to foster quality improvements, innovation, excellence and internationalisation of organisations active in education and training, youth and sport, and promotes initiatives that support policy reforms at all levels.
In its fourth year of implementation, the Erasmus+ Programme will build on its positive achievements so far. In 2014, the Programme supported more than 1 million people to take part in 18 000 funded projects, with a budget of over €2 billion which was used in full. The Programme continued to achieve very good results in 2015, with an increased number of participants and projects, notwithstanding a general stability of the annual budget appropriations.
In 2017, the Erasmus+ Programme will be essentially maintained at a stable level of investment, allowing potential stakeholders to become further acquainted with the young architecture of the Programme, enabling them to fully exploit the opportunities offered by Erasmus+. Recent policy developments in the fields of education, training, youth and sport will nonetheless have an important impact on the Programme in 2017. In particular, following up on the Paris Declaration1 and the Council conclusions on the role of the youth sector, new initiatives - such as the Erasmus+ virtual exchanges and networks for inclusive education- will be implemented in 2017, with the aim of fostering intercultural dialogue and mutual understanding, combating radicalisation2 and violence, and promoting active participation in society3.
2017 will also mark the 30th Anniversary of Erasmus. This anniversary will be an occasion to celebrate and raise awareness of the results of projects supported and realised since the inception of the Programme. The Commission and the implementing bodies of the Programme will invest in making available, sharing and further exploiting the quantitative and qualitative project results.
From the point of view of technical management, further efforts will be made to optimise, stabilise and improve the performance and user-friendliness of the IT tools supporting the implementation of the Programme, in particular those tools that are used by the beneficiaries of the Programme. These efforts will be carried out with a view to facilitate the access to the programme, notably for new entrants and small entities applying for funding. read less ...
