The total budget for the program for this year has been revised upward to a new total of €4.43 billion, the highest annual funding amount.
The European Commission has revised the budget of the Erasmus + program for 2023 in light of the support for Ukraine, the EC said in a statement.
“The program’s total budget for this year has been revised upward to a new total of €4.43 billion, the highest annual financial volume achieved by the Erasmus+ program,” the statement said.
The revised work program includes an initial allocation of €100 million from the Erasmus+ 2027 budget to support projects that promote educational activities and facilitate the integration of refugees in the new learning environment, as well as activities that support organizations, students and staff in Ukraine.
“Funded activities can range from language and cultural integration courses, language learning tools aimed at teachers or students, to scholarships or general financial support in all sectors of Erasmus+ for students and teachers,” said the EC.
It is also about strengthening the international dimension of Erasmus + by increasing the budget of 31 million euros for the implementation of mobility projects and building capacity in the field of higher education to support projects of international cooperation.
Support will be provided to a structural reform project aimed at creating an open digital educational environment for education and training of students attending Ukrainian higher education institutions for refugees from Ukraine or IDP students .
Based on open calls for proposals for projects, any public or private body working in the field of education, training, youth and sports can apply for funding through the Erasmus+ national agencies located in all EU Member States and third countries associated with the program.
“As part of the Erasmus+ general call for proposals, several rounds of applications are being held. The next one, dedicated to partnerships with additional priority for students, teachers and staff from Ukraine, will open on March 22, 2023,” the European commission reports.
