Erasmus+, the EU's programme for education, training, youth and sport, supported some 26,000 projects in 2022, benefitting over 73,000 organisations. It provided learning mobility opportunities to more than 1.2 million students, learners, professors, teachers, trainers, youth workers and young people.
These are the main results of the 2022 edition of the Erasmus+ Annual Report, presented today by the Commission at the 6th European Education Summit. The report shows that the programme delivered on its objectives in 2022, with high take-up and an efficient use of funds.
The report shows the programme continues to grow. With a budget of some €26.2 billion for 2021-27 (nearly double the funding available in 2014-20), Erasmus+ places a strong focus on social inclusion, the green and digital transitions, and promoting participation in democratic life.
The 2022 report provides insights into the impact of Erasmus+ on the lives of millions of people who participate in various mobility activities in Europe and beyond. Mobility of learners, staff and young people is the flagship activity of Erasmus+. It has positive impact on their educational, social, personal, and professional development, and boosts a sense of European identity. Mobility rates have also returned to pre-pandemic levels.
