Erasmus+
What has been announced?
The UK has successfully agreed terms to join Erasmus+ in 2027, widening opportunities for young people from all backgrounds.
This means that:
- Young people and youth workers will be able to enjoy valuable international experiences, helping them develop new skills, broaden horizons, and enhance future career prospects. Erasmus+ offers a wide range of opportunities for individuals to study, work, train, or volunteer abroad – whether for short or long-term placements.
- Youth sector organisations can build stronger ties with European counterparts. Erasmus+ fosters collaboration between organisations across Europe and beyond, promoting knowledge exchange and innovation.
What are the next steps?
A UK National Agency will be appointed to administer the programme, with a dedicated website and guidance to launch in Summer 2026 ahead of the 2027 application window (funding call).
The funding call period for 2027 is expected to run from approximately November 2026 to February 2027.
