Nearly €5 billion under Erasmus+ to support learning abroad and cooperation in education, training, youth and sport in 2025
In 2025, EU’s Erasmus+ programme will support learning exchanges abroad and cooperation partnerships in education, training, youth and sport with around €5 billion. Representing a 6.5% increase in funding compared to last year, the Commission published the Erasmus+ 2025 call for proposals today.
With over 16 million participants since its launch in 1987, Erasmus+ continues to grow in demand. It also continues to expand in terms of access and inclusion for individuals with fewer opportunities. This focus aligns with the recently adopted Council recommendation on ‘Europe on the Move‘, which sets ambitious targets for increasing mobility and participation, especially for underrepresented groups.
Additionally, Erasmus+ continues supporting a various range of cooperation models. Erasmus+ will also continue to play a key role in advancing the Blueprint for a European degree, supporting the automatic recognition of learning qualifications across borders, and enhancing cooperation between higher education institutions. Through its support for learning exchanges and collaboration, Erasmus+ is paving the way for a more integrated European education system.
The Erasmus+ programme will remain committed to supporting Ukraine’s education system, as well as learners and educators in Ukraine or having fled to the EU. In 2023, Erasmus+ also funded the printing and delivery of 500,000 Ukrainian-language schoolbooks. This year, a further 1 million art and computer science books have been provided to schools in Ukraine. A third batch is planned for the 2025-2026 school year.
In line with the priority areas outlined in the Erasmus+ programme for 2021-2027, the call will continue to support a wide range of projects focusing on promoting social inclusion, the green and digital transitions, and young people’s participation in democratic life.
