With an investment of at least €60 billion in Erasmus+ (2028 to 2034), the programme should continue supporting mobility and transnational cooperation. The sector is ready to support the co-legislators throughout the negotiations, by explaining our proposals, sharing evidence from practice and contributing constructively to the final design of the next Erasmus+ programme.
The Guild, together with 16 organisations, is pleased to share the following:

As EVP Mînzatu noted, ‘We really need to invest in education if Europe is to be competitive in the global arena’. That means strengthening Erasmus+ by maintaining the essential bottom-up character of the programme, so that in our education we can respond with agility not only to the challenges of the present, but also to the emerging needs of tomorrow. We welcome the possibility of association to the programme, along with support for educational collaboration with the global south, as a core dimension of the EU Global Gateway.
Secretary-General, Jan Palmowski
It is great to see the sector united around the future direction of Erasmus+. The Guild universities have come up with concrete ways to improve the next programme ever since the interim evaluation. At the time we said Europe needs Erasmus+ more than ever, but that we also need to address several critical issues. So, let’s invest in what works and capitalise on the added value we have created through Erasmus+: mobility, international cooperation, and pedagogical innovation. And let’s work together to ensure budget predictability for the sector and get clarity on the new initiatives.
