How to take part?

This page contains a general overview of how to take part. You will need to check the specific action that you are interested in to see the criteria you should meet.

Erasmus+ is a very wide programme, covering a diverse range of actions.

How you can take part depends broadly on two factors:

1. if you are applying by yourself or on behalf of an organisation

2. in which country you or your organisation is based
   
   Applying by yourself for Erasmus+

Did you know that you might need to go through an organisation to apply for an Erasmus+ placement?

Here's quick breakdown of

• what you can apply to by yourself

• if you need your school or other organisation to apply for you
  
  

• Individual applicants

If you are looking to take part by yourself, it’s likely that you will need to apply through an organisation such as your university, training centre, company and so on.

You can ask them if they are applying for a project grant, or explore the Erasmus+ app for advice and inspiration.

Which countries does Erasmus+ cover?

There are 2 types of countries where Erasmus+ is active.

 EU Member States and third countries associated to the Programme

 These can fully take part in all the actions of the Erasmus+ Programme. They include all EU countries, members of the  European Free Trade Association (EFTA), candidate EU countries and others. They were previously called Programme     countries.

 Third countries not associated to the Programme

 These can take part in certain Erasmus+ actions. There are many of these, spanning the globe. They were previously called    Partner countries.
