The next application round for DiscoverEU will take place between 8 and 22 April 2026 (opening and closure at 12:00:00 midday Brussels time).
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 July 2007 (included) and 30 June 2008 (included);
- complete the identity card (ID), passport or residence permit number in the online application form;
- be citizen or resident* of one of:
- the Member States of the European Union including its outermost regions, or
- the Overseas Countries and Territories (OCTs) associated with the European Union, or
- 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 up to 7 days in a period of maximum one month in the authorised travel period of 1 July 2026 to 30 September 2027.
If you have a disability or a health problem that makes your travel challenging, you will receive assistance and support.
