Erasmus+ funding Boost your career prospects with Erasmus+ funding
From November 2026, applications for the 2027 Erasmus+ programme are expected to open. With the UK rejoining Erasmus+ in 2027, eligible schools and educational organisations across Europe will be able to apply for funding to support staff training and learning opportunities in the UK.
What is Erasmus+ funding?
Erasmus+ funding can help eligible participants with course fees, travel, and living expenses, including accommodation. The amount available depends on the type of project, duration of training and funding rules applicable to your organisation.
Erasmus+ funding applications must be submitted by eligible organisations, such as schools, colleges, universities, and training institutions. Individual teachers should contact their employer or institution to discuss opportunities to participate.
