The Erasmus Program guide is like the bible for all those who want to submit a project proposal. It’s a very long pdf text changed from time to time so there’s an archive of previous versions and updates after updates.
At this link you can find 2 versions of the very last and actually the definitive Guide.
https://erasmus-plus.ec.europa.eu/erasmus-programme-guide
One is online and the other one can be downloaded in pdf.
We personally like the second one: having the Guide saved on your desktop in a new folder named “Erasmus 2025” it’s a good starting point to be ready for deadlines.
How to read the Programme Guide
The Programme Guide has four main parts:
- Part A offers a general overview of the Programme. It gives information about the objectives, priorities and main features of the Programme, the participating countries, the implementing structures and the overall budget available. This section is addressed to those who wish to have a general overview of the scope and the structure of the Programme.
- Part B provides specific information about the Actions of the Programme that are covered by this Guide. This section is mainly addressed to those who are interested in knowing more in detail which types of projects are supported by the Programme.
- Part C gives detailed information on procedures for grant application and selection of projects, as well as the financial and administrative provisions linked to the award of an Erasmus+ grant. This section is addressed to all those who intend to submit a project proposal under the framework of the Erasmus+ Programme.
- Part D provides a glossary of useful terms.
But what it is an “action”? What do we mean with action?
Let’s wait then for the next article to enter into the deep of the Program structure discovering what “key actions” are?
For the moment, let’s warm up our engines to design in time for the upcoming deadlines.
