Launching of the 2018 Erasmus+ Call for Proposals
The European Commission today published its 2018 Call for Proposals for Erasmus+, the European Union’s programme for mobility and cooperation in education, training, youth and sport.
In 2018 Erasmus+ is expected to increase its annual budget by €200 million over 2017, for a total budget of 2.7 billion euro, an unprecedented amount of money which will provide a number of opportunities for individuals and organisations in Europe and beyond.
The organisations willing to apply for funding can start submitting their applications.
The main changes introduced in 2018 include:
Additional opportunities for Erasmus+ higher education students to carry out traineeships aimed at gaining digital skills;
The ErasmusPro initiative under VET mobility projects to boost long term mobility for VET learners;
A new “Schools Exchange Partnerships” format under Strategic Partnerships to help schools better finding their way into cooperation projects;
The action “Sector Skills Alliances” has been reintroduced to this Programme Guide;
The funding rules for most actions have been fine-tuned;
As in 2017, the 2018 Programme Guide places a special focus on encouraging projects supporting social inclusion (notably of refugees and migrants), as well as preventing radicalization.
Deadline for the submission of applications:
All deadlines for submission of applications specified below end at 12.00 (noon), Brussels time.
