Erasmus+ opens new opportunities for people from across the UK to gain knowledge and experience by studying or training abroad. Funding is available for international placements and partnerships for organisations working in education, training, youth and sport.

Participants have the opportunity to explore their talents, expand their world and find a sense of belonging, all while building confidence and learning new skills to equip them for future personal and professional success.

Who can apply?

Funding is available for international placements and partnerships for organisations working in education, training, youth and sport.

Applications for funding have to come from eligible organisations active in education, training, youth or sport. For example, universities, schools and colleges, youth groups or sports clubs. Individual students or members of staff cannot apply directly. Individuals who are interested in taking part in an Erasmus+ project should get in touch with their university, school or group.

What do you need to do to take part in Erasmus+?

Although the funding call opens in November 2026, there are a few things you can to do to get ready for your Erasmus+ journey:

Sign up to the Erasmus+ UK newsletter to keep up to date with news and opportunities.
Follow Erasmus+ UK on social media: Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and X.
Attend webinars for your sector to learn more about the opportunities available and how to apply for funding.
Familiarise yourself with the Erasmus+ programme and decide on the type of project you would like to deliver – a mobility project or a partnership project. You can browse previous projects for inspiration on the Erasmus+ project database. Think about how your idea supports the Erasmus+ priorities.
Identify potential partners from outside the UK that you’d like to work with.
