The Commissioner Mariya Gabriel launched the Call for proposals 2021. This release marks a key milestone in the launch of the new Erasmus+ programme and the start of a new 7-year journey.

The Call for Proposals is the official document that represents the opening of a new Erasmus+ year. The call defines, according with the Programme Guide, the actions, the eligibility, the Budget and duration of projects and the deadline for the submission of applications.

Therefore, in 2021 any public or private body active in the fields of education, training, youth and sport can apply for funding within the Erasmus+ Programme. In addition, groups of young people who are active in youth work, but not necessarily in the context of a youth organisation, may apply for funding for learning mobility of young people and youth workers as well as for Strategic partnerships in the field of youth.

In addition, certain Erasmus+ Programme actions are open to organisations from third countries non-associated to the Programme.
