About Erasmus+
Erasmus+ is the European Union programme for education, training, youth and sport, running from 2021 to 2027. It has a budget of €26.2 billion for all of Europe, to fund learning mobility and cross-border cooperation projects for ten million Europeans of all ages and all backgrounds.
In Ireland, organisations apply to Léargas for funding to carry out projects consistent with its objectives and that encourage European exchange, co-operation and learning. Organisations much be active in Adult Education, School Education, Vocational Education and Training, or Youth.
Higher Education organisations should apply to our fellow National Agency in Ireland, the Higher Education Authority (HEA).
What are the Programme Objectives?

Partnerships for Cooperation
A partnership project is one where an organisation works with other relevant groups across Europe to develop, transfer or implement innovative practices. Funding is available for Irish organisations, institutions, companies and research organisations that are active in Adult Education, School Education, VET or Youth.
