Organisations can apply for funding to work in partnership with organisations from other participating countries.

Erasmus+ factsheet

Erasmus+ is managed at European level by the European Commission and is divided into two parts: decentralised and centralised activities.

  • Centralised activities are delivered at a European-level across all participating countries by the European Commission’s Executive Agency which is based in Brussels.  

  • Decentralised activities are delivered at national level by a network of organisations known as National Agencies. National Agencies are themselves overseen by National Authorities, government departments responsible for ensuring the programme is delivered in their countries.


The Erasmus+ Programme comprises three different Key Actions (KA):

  • KA1: Learning Mobility of Individuals,

  • KA2: Cooperation for Innovation and Exchange Good Practices, and

  • KA3: Support to Policy Reforms
