I have slowly moved into including other funding schemes than Horizon Europe. The Grant is thought to cover broadly the main European funding schemes. Not long ago I had a double-episode presenting an Erasmus+ project, so the natural step for me was move to Erasmus+ next. Therefore, this episode is an introduction to the Erasmus+ programme. Or Erasmus+ the EU programme for education, training, youth and sports as it is officially named.

I have little experience with this funding scheme. So I have invited one of my good old contacts Ulla-Alexandra Mattl, Project director at the consultancy company Eurakom and external evaluator, into the virtual podcast studio to guide me through the Erasmus+ programme. Making a solid introduction to a funding scheme takes a little time, so this became a double episode.

In the first half we start off looking at the EUs purpose with the funding scheme, the structure of the programme and the target groups.

In the second half we go through how to apply, evaluation, what happens when funding is received and Do's and don't's.

Excellent for any Erasmus+ applicant or would-be applicant.
