On Thursday the European Commission published the Erasmus+ programme guide for 2017. The programme guide contains all necessary information you need regarding content and deadlines for project applications.
The major changes since 2016 include:
- The budget increased by almost EUR 200 million since 2016.
- The introduction of the concept of “European priorities in the national context” under KA2 Strategic Partnership. For more information on this, please visit the website of your National Agency,
- The funding rules for some decentralized actions have been fine-tuned,
- The action “Sector Skills Alliances” is no longer covered by this General Call and Programme Guide and will be dealt with separately through a Specific Call for Proposals announced by the Education, Audiovisual and Culture Executive Agency.
As with last year, there will be a special focus on encouraging projects that support social inclusion, notably of refugees and migrants, as well as projects that prevent radicalisation.
Please, find the 2017 programme guide here (EN) and your relevant national agency here (EN).
