Erasmus + Programme

The general objective of the Programme is to support, through lifelong learning, the educational, professional and personal development of people in the fields of education, training, youth and sport, within and outside Europe, in order to contribute to sustainable growth, quality employment and social cohesion, as well as to foster innovation and strengthen European identity and active citizenship.

A key instrument to develop the European Education Area and support European strategic cooperation in the field of education and training, with its corresponding sectoral agendas. In turn, it is essential to promote cooperation on youth policies within the framework of the EU Youth Strategy for 2019-2027 and to develop the European dimension in sport.

ERASMUS+

The Erasmus + programme forms part of the EU Youth Strategy for 2019-2027 and the Rethinking Education strategy and encompasses all education, training, youth and sport initiatives.
Erasmus + integrates existing programmes into the Lifelong Learning Programme as well as international higher education programmes: Mundus, Tempus, ALFA, Edulink and bilateral programmes, in addition to the Youth in Action Programme.

PROGRAMMES

This programme has a clear vocation for internationalisation beyond the EU’s borders, opening up to third countries with the aim of improving capacities.

It consists of actions in areas:

  • Mobility of people for learning purposes;
  • Cooperation for innovation and the exchange of good practices;
  • Support for policy reform;
  • Jean Monnet Actions;
  • Actions in Sport;

The actions of the Erasmus + programme are divided into decentralised actions and centralised actions.

Decentralized actions are managed in each country by the national agencies that are designated by their authorities in that country. Spain has two national agencies: the Spanish Service for the Internationalization of Education (SEPIE) for decentralized actions in the field of education and training and the Youth Institute (Injuve) for those in the field of youth and sport. (WE INCLUDE THE LINKS OF BOTH AS IT IS ALREADY)

Centralised actions are managed at European level by the Executive Agency for Education, Audiovisual, and Culture (EACEA), attached to the European Commission and based in Brussels. In the centralized actions EACEA is in charge of the management of the complete life cycle of the projects, from the design of the conditions and guidelines of the financing lines, through the selection and evaluation of projects, contacts with the beneficiaries, signature of agreements for their realization, financial management, supervision, monitoring and dissemination of the results.

The Erasmus+ programme finances a number of specific actions in the field of sport. These actions aim to contribute to the development of sports organisations by supporting mobility for the learning of their staff. Specifically, these are the key actions that can receive funding:

  • Key action 1: Educational mobility of people. This action supports mobility for the learning of sports staff (coaches, etc. ). It is a decentralized action whose management is entrusted to INJUVE in Spain.
  • Key action 2: Cooperation between (sports) organisations and institutions, including cooperation associations and small-scale associations . This is a centralised action managed by the European Commission’s EACEA executive agency. It allows funding for capacity-building projects in sport, as well as non-profit European sports events.
  • Key action 3: Support for policy development and cooperation. This is a centralised action managed by the European Commission’s EACEA executive agency. It makes it possible to support political cooperation at European Union level, thereby contributing to the implementation of existing policies and the development of new policies that can promote modernisation and reform in the field of sport.

There are other EU-level funding programmes and instruments, but they are not specific to the field of sport. This does not prevent sports organizations from being eligible for them if they meet their goals. Among other programmes, the following can be highlighted:

  • Various cohesion policy funds, such as the European Social Fund+ or the European Regional Development Fund.
  • Funds aimed at supporting research and innovation, such as Horizon Europe.
ERASMUS + SPORT

The actions in collaborative partnership offer the opportunity to develop, transfer and apply innovative practices in different areas related to sport and physical activity between various organizations and actors, inside and outside sport.

These are innovative projects with the aim of:

  • Combat doping at the grass-roots level, especially in leisure and fitness environments;
  • Support the prevention and sensitization of the actors involved, in the fight against the damage of sports competitions;
  • Support prevention, educational actions and innovative approaches to deal with violence, racism and intolerance in sport;
  • Support the implementation of EU policy documents, such as recommendations, guidelines, policy strategies, etc. (e.g. the EU Physical Activity Guidelines, the Guidelines on Dual Careers of EU Athletes, the Principles of Good Governance in Sport, etc. ).

All this with a particular focus on grassroots sport.

European non-profit sports events actions involve the allocation of EU grants to individual organisations for the preparation, organisation and follow-up of a completed event

These actions support:

  • the implementation, in the field of sport, of EU strategies in the fields of social inclusion and equal opportunities, in particular the EU Gender Equality Strategy and the EU Disability Strategy;
  • the implementation of the EU Physical Activity Guidelines, to promote participation in sport and physical activity;
  • The organisation of the European Week of Sport.

Also with a particular focus on grassroots sport.

Through the calls for the Erasmus + Sport Programme, the following are implemented:

  • Actions in Collaborative Association.
  • Non-Profit Sports Events.

These actions are expected to promote the development, transfer and/or implementation of innovative practices at European and national level, but also at regional and local level, and to contribute to the development of the European dimension of sport.

Erasmus+ Programme Guide - Erasmus+

Sports activities

The actions of the Erasmus+ programme in the field of sport encourage participation in sport, physical activity and volunteering.

They are designed to address social and sports-related challenges. There are three calls for proposals that offer organizations opportunities to address such challenges.

A specific call for capacity building in the field of sport is also available from 2022. It is addressed to the EU Member States, third countries associated with the programme (formerly known as ‘programme countries’) and the Western Balkans.

Activities

Partnerships for cooperation

The aim is for organisations to develop and implement joint activities to promote (among others) sport and physical activity and to tackle threats to the integrity of sport (such as doping or match-fixing), promote dual careers for sportspeople, improve governance and support tolerance and social inclusion.

More information and requests

Small-scale partnerships

For grassroots organizations, less experienced organizations and newcomers to the program. Small-scale partnerships are easier to manage, receive smaller grants and have shorter durations than cooperative partnerships.

More information and requests

European non-profit sporting events

Its purpose is to promote sports activity, implement EU strategies for social inclusion through sport, promote volunteering in sport, combat discrimination and promote participation in sport and physical activity.

Capacity building in the field of sport
