Almost 1.5 million people went on an Erasmus+ mobility in 2024, according to latest report
With an annual budget of €4.7 billion in 2024, the programme continued to deliver great benefits for its participants and make efficient use of its funds.
Highlight figures from 2024
Last year, Erasmus+ supported more than 34 400 projects, involving over 85 600 organisations. While doing this, it provided learning opportunities to almost 1.5 million students, learners, professors, teachers, trainers, youth workers, sport coaches and young people.
Delivering objectives
The 2024 edition of the Erasmus+ Annual Report shows how the programme delivered its objectives for the period, bringing strong and lasting benefits for individuals, organisations, and education, training, youth and sport systems.
The report was presented at the 2025 Education and Skills summit, highlighting the strong link between Erasmus+ and education, training and skills in Europe.
