The future of Erasmus+ starts with youth
Apply for the conference where the people who live Erasmus+ meet the people who decide its future.
Erasmus+ changed millions of lives. Now, it's our turn to shape what comes next. As negotiations on the EU's next Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF) gain traction, the future of Erasmus+ hangs in the balance. Will the 2028–2034 programme live up to the promise of connecting, empowering, and uniting young Europeans?
We are bringing together the people who live the reality of Erasmus+ and the people who hold the power to decide its future. By joining the event, you will help raise awareness among policy-makers of the concrete impact and added value the programme brings to youth.
