The Commission adopted the first annual work programme of Erasmus+ 2021-2027. With a budget of \u20ac26.2 billion, (compared to \u20ac14.7 billion for 2014-2020), complemented with about \u20ac2.2 billion from EU’s external instruments, the new and revamped programme\u00a0will fund learning mobility and cross-border cooperation projects for 10 million Europeans of all ages and all backgrounds. It will seek to be even more inclusive and to support the green and digital transitions, as set out in the\u00a0European Education Area. Erasmus+ will also support the resilience of education and training systems in the face of the pandemic.<\/p>\n

Vice-President for Promoting our European Way of Life, Margaritis\u00a0Schinas<\/strong>, said: \u201cI welcome the launch of the new Erasmus+ programme, which has affirmed itself as one of the great achievements of the European Union. It will continue to offer learning opportunities to hundreds of thousands of Europeans and beneficiaries from associated countries. While providing a life-changing experience of mobility and common understanding amongst fellow Europeans, the programme will also help us to deliver on our ambitions for a more fair and greener Europe.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The new Erasmus+ programme provides opportunities for study periods abroad, traineeships, apprenticeships, and staff exchanges in all fields of education, training, youth and sport. It is open to school pupils, higher education and vocational education and training students, adult learners, youth exchanges, youth workers and sport coaches.<\/p>\n

In addition to mobility, which counts for 70% of the budget, the new Erasmus+ also invests in cross\u2011border cooperation projects. These can be between higher education institutions (e.g. the European Universities initiative); schools; teacher education and training colleges (e.g. Erasmus+ Teacher Academies); adult learning centres; youth and sport organisations; providers of vocational education and training (e.g. Vocational Centres of Excellence); and other actors in the learning sphere.<\/p>\n
