Parliament's amended version of the proposed regulation sets up Erasmus+, the Union programme for education and training, youth, volunteering and sport for 2028–2034, and repeals Regulations (EU) 2021/817 and (EU) 2021/888.¶¶¶ It sets a programme envelope of EUR 47 387 963 000 in current prices (EUR 42 000 000 000 in 2025 prices) and an indicative split between fields.¶¶ It requires at least 20 % of all mobility participants to be people with fewer opportunities, and at least 75 % of the budget to be implemented under indirect management by national agencies.¶¶ It folds the European Solidarity Corps and the European Voluntary Humanitarian Aid Corps into the programme, with separate monitoring and reporting for both strands.¶¶¶ It makes work programmes and indicator changes subject to delegated acts, and adds rules on European added value, third-country association and protection of Union funds.¶¶¶
Key points
- Only actions with European added value may be supported; this can come from a transnational character, synergies with other policies, or use of Union transparency and recognition tools.¶¶
- The programme covers education and training, youth, volunteering and sport, and sets up the European Voluntary Humanitarian Aid Corps.¶¶
- Learning mobility in youth and volunteering covers youth exchanges, DiscoverEU, youth participation, youth worker mobility, European Solidarity Corps volunteering and the Humanitarian Aid Corps.¶
- Learning mobility in sport covers athletes, people active in grassroots sport and sport staff, and may include dual career support.¶
- The Commission must set objectives for participation of people with fewer opportunities and report on progress; at least 20 % of all mobility participants must be people with fewer opportunities.¶
- National agencies must adopt national inclusion and diversity action plans with measurable objectives, and the Commission must monitor and publish assessments of participation.¶¶
- The programme envelope for 2028–2034 is EUR 47 387 963 000 in current prices, with an indicative distribution between higher education, vocational education and training, school education, adult learning and Jean Monnet actions.¶¶
- At least 75 % of the programme budget is to be implemented under indirect management by the national agencies.¶
- Third countries may join through full or partial association; countries that ran a national agency in predecessor programmes are excluded from partial association, and association must respect Union values.¶
- Work programmes and amendments to the Annex indicators are adopted by delegated acts, which Parliament or the Council may revoke or object to within two months.¶¶¶
- The Commission must protect the Union's financial interests through preventive measures, controls and recovery, and OLAF and the EPPO may investigate funding under the programme.¶
- Monitoring indicators cover participation in learning mobility and volunteering and cooperation among organisations, broken down by country, gender and type of action.¶
Who is affected
- People with fewer opportunities: at least 20 % of mobility participants must come from this group, with targeted financial and support measures.¶¶

- Applicants and beneficiaries: they must grant access to the Commission, OLAF, the European Court of Auditors and the EPPO to protect Union funds.¶
- Small and newcomer organisations: procedures are to be simplified and digitalised, with dedicated mechanisms such as accreditations.¶
