How to participate
Erasmus+ is a very broad program that covers a wide variety of actions. How to participate depends mainly on two factors:
- If you are applying for yourself or on behalf of an organisation
- What country you or your organization are located in.
WHO CAN PARTICIPATE?
Citizens of Iceland, Liechtenstein, North Macedonia, Norway, Serbia or Türkiye can participate in most opportunities, since these countries, although they do not belong to the EU, are associated with the Erasmus+ program . Citizens of other non-EU countries have access to some opportunities, such as joint Erasmus Mundus master’s degrees or the international dimension of student and staff exchange (if your university participates) and exchange schemes in the field of youth .
Which countries can participate in erasmus?
EU Member States and third countried associated can fully participate in all actions of the Erasmus+ program. These are all EU countries, members of the European Free Trade Association (EFTA), candidate countries for EU membership and other countries.
Third countries not associated with the Program can participate in some Erasmus+ actions . There are many countries of this type, from all over the world.
Individual applicants
If you are interested in participating yourself, you will probably have to apply through an organization, such as your university, your training center, your company, etc.
You can find out if they have applied for a grant for a project or explore the Erasmus+ app for advice or inspiration.
For most actions, your organization must be located in a program country. These countries are the Member States of the EU and a short list of other countries associated with the programme. Other actions are also open to groups of countries not associated with the program.
