On Wednesday 24 November, the European Commission launched calls for projects that it will support for implementation in 2022, under the Erasmus+ programme and with a total budget of €3.9 billion.
The projects to be selected and supported by the Commission should, among other things, increase exchanges with third countries, make the DiscoverEU programme (see EUROPE 12270/22) more attractive, promote education about the EU in schools, and support the implementation of cooperation projects.
However, the largest part of the envelope will be allocated to “large-scale” projects, which should be implemented in order to support “inclusive and high-quality digital education” or work on “adapting education and training systems to the ecological transition”. These projects will last three years and will be entrusted to both public and private organisations, the Commission says.
More broadly, it stresses that any public or private body active in the fields of education, training, youth, and sport can apply to these calls with the help of the Erasmus+ national agencies established in the Member States and associated third countries, as well as the European Education and Culture Executive Agency.
