COVID-19: specific measures for the Erasmus+ programme

The Spanish Service for the Internationalisation of Education (SEPIE) is an Autonomous Body, dependent on the Ministry of Universities, whose main function is to act as the National Erasmus+ Agency in Spain, in charge of all the channelling and dissemination, management of resources such as budgets, promotion, and impact studies of the Eramus+ Programme (2014-2020) in the field of Education and Training. In this way, SEPIE tries to disseminate the calls for the different key actions within the Erasmus+ Programme, offering assistance and support to all possible beneficiaries, also carrying out a follow-up in order to achieve the appropriate objectives through the planned actions.
