EnglishThe Erasmus programme, which facilitates exchanges in higher education, has helped around 15.1 million people gain experience abroad since the initiative was launched in 1987, the European Commission has announced. The programme was created to give students the opportunity to study in another European country. Over the years, the Erasmus programme has been adjusted to include traineeships, vocational education and volunteering, as well as new EU member states. In 2023, the Erasmus programme, which had a budget of euro4.5 billion last year, will benefit 1.3 million people and 32,000 projects, according to the European Commission. According to the European Commission website, Erasmus+ is the EU programme for education, training, youth and sport in Europe. With an estimated budget of euro26.2 billion for the period 2021-2027, the programme benefits from almost double the funding allocated to the programme in the previous multiannual financial programming period (2014-2020). The 2021-2027 programme has a strong focus on social inclusion, the green and digital transitions, and promoting young people's participation in democratic life. It supports the priorities and activities defined in the European Education Area, the Digital Education Action Plan and the European Skills Agenda. The programme also supports the European Pillar of Social Rights, implements the EU Youth Strategy 2019-2027 and develops the European dimension in sport.
