Erasmus+, European Commission launches a new initiative for faster and easier access to statistical data

30/05/2024 (Agence Europe) – This year, the Erasmus+ programme passed the milestone of 15 million participants since its creation in 1987. To celebrate this event, on Thursday 30 May the European Commission launched a ‘storytelling data’ initiative, offering simplified access to aggregated statistics covering the period 2014-2024. It also offers a visual representation of mobility flows from one country to another and access to customisable dashboards (https://aeur.eu/f/cfu ). The number of participating organisations by field of education and the total number of projects each year are also available. A wealth of information is now available via interactive, customisable dashboards. In addition, a new series of podcasts on the Erasmus+ programme will soon be available.
