What is Erasmus+?

Erasmus+ is the European Union’s programme supporting **education, training, youth, and sport**. It provides funding and opportunities for millions of people worldwide to gain experience abroad, primarily in European countries. The main goal is to improve participants’ **skills, job prospects, and cultural understanding**. It covers various activities, from student exchanges and internships to staff training and youth projects.

Who Can Apply?

Erasmus+ opportunities are available to a broad audience, including but not limited to:

• •
  Higher Education Students: For short-term or long-term studies, and joint Master’s degrees (like Erasmus Mundus).
• •
  Teachers and Lecturers: For teaching assignments or professional training.
• •
  VET (Vocational Education and Training) Learners: For traineeships and work placements.
• •
  Youth: For Youth Exchange projects and volunteering activities.
• •
  Organizations and Institutions: To participate in cooperation and partnership projects.

Eligibility criteria depend on the specific type of action or project you apply for. For global applicants (non-EU countries), the Erasmus Mundus Joint Masters is often the most relevant full-scholarship opportunity.
