Erasmus+ is the European Union programme that supports education, training, youth and sport in Europe. The programme started in 2014 and runs to the end of 2020.

Every euro that we invest in Erasmus+ is an investment in the future — in the future of a young person and of our European idea. I cannot imagine anything more worthy of our investment than these leaders of tomorrow. As we celebrate the 9 millionth person to take part, let’s make sure we are 9 times more ambitious with the future of the Erasmus+ programme.– Jean-Claude Juncker
Erasmus+ is jointly managed in Ireland by Léargas and the Higher Education Authority.
