Erasmus+ is the EU's programme to support education, training, youth and sport in Europe.
It has an estimated budget of €26.2 billion. This is nearly double the funding compared to its predecessor programme (2014-2020). The 2021-2027 programme strongly focuses on social inclusion, the green and digital transitions, and promoting young people’s participation in democratic life. It supports priorities and activities set out in the European Education Area, Digital Education Action Plan and the European Skills Agenda. The programme also:
supports the European Pillar of Social Rights
implements the EU Youth Strategy 2019-2027
develops the European dimension in sport

promoting the programme and opportunities
launching calls for proposals
reviewing grant requests
contracting and monitoring projects
communicating on results
The EACEA and Commission also carry out studies and research, as well as managing and financing the other bodies and networks supported by Erasmus+. Detailed information on the management of Erasmus+ is available in the Annual Work Programmes published by the European Commission.

Outside the EU, and specifically in the field of higher education, this role is filled by the National Erasmus+ Offices. The Commission provides funding to the National Agencies, who use these funds to manage the programme's "decentralised" activities. This allows the Agencies to adapt the programme to suit their national education, training, and youth systems. The National Agencies are responsible for:
