DiscoverEU October 2025 Deadline
The next application round for DiscoverEU will take place between 30 October and 13 November 2025 (opening and closure at 12:00:00 midday Brussels time).
In 2025, we celebrate 40 years of the Schengen Agreement, the foundation of today’s border-free travel. With your DiscoverEU pass, you can experience this freedom first-hand as you explore Europe!
What is DiscoverEU?
DiscoverEU is an action of the Erasmus+ programme that offers you the opportunity to travel and explore Europe’s diversity, learn about its cultural heritage and history, and connect with people from all over the continent.
You will be offered a travel pass to move with the most environment friendly means of transport, like trains. Other transport modes will be permitted in specific cases, for people living on islands or in remote areas.
You will also receive a DiscoverEU discount card for a wealth of discounts on accommodation, culture, sports, local transport, or other services.
Eligibility
To be eligible, you need to:
- be born between 1 January 2007 (included) and 31 December 2007 (included);
- complete the correct identity card (ID), passport or residence card number on the online application form;
- be citizen or resident of one of the following countries:
– one of the Member States of the European Union including Overseas Countries and Territories (OCTs), or
– one of the third countries associated to the Erasmus+ programme: Iceland, Liechtenstein, North Macedonia, Norway, Serbia, and Türkiye. - agree to the declaration of the application form.
Then you will need to participate in a quiz (unless you apply as a group member).
If you are successful, you can travel for a period of minimum 1 day and up to 30 days during the travel period which is planned to start on 1 March 2026.
If you have a disability or a health problem that makes your travel challenging, you will receive assistance and support.
