Erasmus Accreditation
Organisations that want to be involved in the Mobility strands of the new Erasmus programme can apply for Accreditation. Accreditation is not mandatory, but accredited organisations have simplified access to funding opportunities, and an alternative method to the individual application process. Accreditation is primarily for organisations with relevant experience and capacity, that plan to regularly carry out projects.
