Erasmus Policy Statement (EPS)
Erasmus+ is the new EU programme for Education, Training, Youth and Sport. The Erasmus+ programme aims to boost skills and employability, as well as modernizing Education, Training, and Youth work. The seven year programme will have a budget of €14.7 billion; a 40% increase compared to current spending levels, reflecting the EU's commitment to investing in these areas.
Key Action 1
Each project can last either 16 or 24 months and HEIs can apply for funding to support any of the following mobility activities within a project:
Student Mobility

- a traineeship (work placement) abroad lasting between 2 and 12 months
Students may undertake up to 12 months’ mobility in total per academic cycle (i.e. 12 months during their Bachelor degree, 12 months during their Master’s degree etc.). Each 12 month period can consist of any combination of eligible study and/or traineeship mobility’s. Additionally recent graduates may be supported to undertake a traineeship but they must be selected by their HEI during their last year of study and the traineeship must take place within 12 months of graduating.
Staff Mobility
- teaching periods – staff deliver teaching at another HEI abroad
- training periods – staff undertake a training event or undergo job shadowing/observation/
Funding can be used to support staff engaged in both HEI teaching and non-teaching roles. Staff mobility activities can last from 2 days to 2 months. Staff teaching as part of their mobility must complete a minimum of 8 hours’ teaching per week.
