Requirements
Location
Applicant organisations must be established in an Erasmus+ Programme country.
Participating organisations can be based in Erasmus+ Programme or Partner countries.
These countries are also known as "EU Member States or countries associated to the Programme" and "third countries not associated to the Programme."
Accreditation
Individual applicant organisations require an Erasmus Charter for Higher Education (ECHE) whether applying individually or as part of a consortium.
Mobility consortia require an Erasmus accreditation for higher education mobility consortia. The coordinator applies on behalf of the consortium for this accreditation.
How to apply
Individual applicants must first submit their ECHE application to EACEA and only when they have been awarded with the ECHE, they submit their request for funding to their national agency.
Applicants for a mobility consortium submit their application to their national agency. This agency will assess both the application for accreditation and the request for funding.
For individual higher education institution, this is the agency in the country where the institution is based. For a consortium, this is the agency in the country where the consortium coordinator is based.
