What is Erasmus+?

Erasmus+ is the European Union’s greatest programme for education, training, youth, and sport. It supports opportunities for people of all ages to study, gain work experience, and develop skills across Europe and beyond.

The aim of Erasmus+ is to:

  • Boost job opportunities and personal development
  • Promote cooperation and innovation in education
  • Support the modernization of education and training systems
  • Encourage intercultural understanding and European values

The programme funds mobility projects for students, teachers, and staff across all education levels—including vocational education and training (VET).
