Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Who can participate?
Individuals constitute the main target population of Erasmus+. The Programme reaches these individuals through organisations, institutions, bodies, or groups that organise activities it supports. The conditions of access to the Programme therefore relate to these two actors: the "participants" (individuals taking part in the Erasmus+ project activities and who may receive part of EU grant intended to cover their costs of participation) and the "participating organisations" 1 .(including informal groups of young people involved in an Erasmus+ project, as either applicants or partners and self-employed persons). For both participants and participating organisations, the conditions for participation depend on the country in which they are based.
What should I bring with me ?
As a general rule, participants in Erasmus+ projects must be established in an EU Member State or third country associated to the Programme. Some Actions, notably in the fields of higher education, vocational education and training, youth and sport, are also open to participants from third countries not associated to the Programme.
The specific conditions for participating in an Erasmus+ project depend on the type of Action concerned.
In general terms, the main target groups are:
- for projects relevant for the field of higher education, the main targets are: higher education students (short cycle, first, second or third cycle), higher education teachers and professors, staff of higher education institutions, trainers and professionals in enterprises
- for projects relevant for the field of vocational education and training, the main targets are: apprentices and students in vocational education and training, professionals and trainers in vocational education and training, staff of initial vocational education and training organisations, trainers and professionals in enterprises
