**Summary of Erasmus+** Erasmus+ is the European Union's program to support education, training, youth, and sport in Europe. It combines various EU schemes for transnational cooperation and mobility in these fields. The program focuses on three key actions: 1. **Learning mobility of individuals**: Supporting students, trainees, apprentices, and young people in studying, training, or volunteering abroad. 2. **Cooperation among organisations and institutions**: Encouraging partnerships between educational institutions, businesses, and other organizations to improve quality and innovation in education and training. 3. **Support to policy development and cooperation**: Fostering policy dialogue and cooperation between EU member states and other countries to address common challenges in education, training, youth, and sport. **Financial Resources**: The current funding period (2021-2027) has a budget of €26.2 billion. There is no typical project financing amount as it varies depending on the action and the specific call for proposals. **Criteria for Funding**: Applications are evaluated based on criteria such as relevance, quality of the project design, impact, and sustainability. The program guide provides detailed information on eligibility and selection criteria. **Recent Projects**: Examples include the European Universities initiative, DiscoverEU for 18-year-olds, and projects supporting digital transformation and social inclusion. Over 15 million people have participated in Erasmus+ since its inception in 1987.
