Over €2 billion in funding available for education, training, youth and sport projects.

The new Erasmus + Programme Guide and Call have been published, with opportunities for funding in the areas of education, training, youth, and sport with deadlines in February 2017.

This year’s budget has increased by almost €300 million since 2016, representing an increase of almost 13%.

As with last year, there will be a special focus on encouraging projects that support social inclusion, notably of refugees and migrants, as well as projects that prevent radicalisation.

The major changes since 2016 include:

• introduction of the concept of “European priorities in the national context” under KA2 Strategic Partnership,
• funding rules for some decentralized actions have been fine-tuned,
• The action “Sector Skills Alliances” will now be dealt with separately through a Specific Call for Proposals announced by the Education, Audiovisual and Culture Executive Agency.

More information on how to apply is available in the Guide as well as the Erasmus + scholarship opportunities,the National Erasmus + Office in BiH, and the Education, Audiovisual and Culture Executive Agency.
