Erasmus + programme

The overall 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 Europe and beyond, in order to contribute to sustainable growth, quality employment and social cohesion, as well as to boost innovation and strengthen European identity and active citizenship.

A key instrument for developing the European Education Area and supporting European strategic cooperation in the field of education and training, with its corresponding sectoral agendas. At the same time, it is essential to foster cooperation on youth policies within the framework of the EU Youth Strategy for the period 2019-2027 and to develop the European dimension in sport.

ERASMUS+

The Erasmus + programme is part of the EU Youth Strategy for the period 2019-2027 and the Rethinking Education strategy, and encompasses all education, training, youth and deporte.Erasmus initiatives +
integrates existing programmes into the Lifelong Learning Programme and also international higher education programmes: Mundus, Tempus, ALFA, Edulink and bilateral programmes.

PROGRAMMES

This programme is clearly aimed at internationalisation beyond the borders of the EU, opening up to third countries with the aim of improving capacities.

It consists of actions in areas:

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

Actions under the Erasmus + programme are divided into decentralised and centralised actions.

Decentralised actions are managed in each country by the national agencies designated by their authorities in that country. Spain has two national agencies: the Spanish Service for the Internationalization of Education (SEPIE) for decentralised 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), under the European Commission and based in Brussels. In the centralised actions EACEA is in charge of managing the full life cycle of the projects, from the design of the conditions and guidelines of the funding lines, through the selection and evaluation of projects, contacts with the beneficiaries, signing agreements for their implementation, 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 be funded:

  • Key Action 1: Educational mobility of persons. This action supports mobilities for the learning of sports staff (trainers, etc.). It is a decentralized action that is managed by INJUVE in Spain.
  • Key Action 2: Cooperation between organisations and institutions (sports), including cooperation associations and small-scale associations. This is a centralised action managed by the EACEA executive agency of the European Commission. It makes it possible to finance 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 EACEA executive agency of the European Commission. It provides support for political cooperation at European Union level, thus contributing to the implementation of existing policies and to the development of new policies that can boost modernisation and reform in the field of sport.

There are other EU-wide funding programmes and instruments, but they are not specific to sport. This does not prevent sports organisations from choosing them if they meet their objectives. 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 to support research and innovation, such as Horizon Europe.
ERASMUS + SPORT

Collaborative partnership actions offer the opportunity to develop, transfer and apply innovative practices in different areas related to sport and physical activity between different organisations and actors, both within and outside sport.

These are innovative projects with the aim of:

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

All this with a particular focus on grassroots sport.

Actions of non-profit European sports events 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 Guidelines on Physical Activity to promote participation in sport and physical activity;
  • Organisation of the European Week of Sport.

Also with a particular focus on grassroots sport.

Calls for the Erasmus + Sport programme include:

  • Actions in Collaborative Partnership.
  • Nonprofit Sports Events.

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

CALL 2025

Erasmus+ - Erasmus+ programme guide

Sports activities

Actions under the Erasmus+ programme in the field of sport promote participation in sport, physical activity and volunteering.

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

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

Activities

Cooperation partnerships

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

Further 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 subsidies and have shorter durations than cooperation partnerships.

Further information and requests

European non-profit sporting events

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

Further information and requests

Capacity building in the field of sport

Capacity building projects are international cooperation projects based on multilateral partnerships between organisations active in the field of sports in EU Member States, third countries associated with the programme (formerly known as ‘programme countries’) and the Western Balkans. Its objective is to support sports activities and policies as a vehicle to promote values and as an educational tool to contribute to the personal and social development of people and to build more cohesive communities.

MOBILITY IN SPORT

The Erasmus+ programme covers many areas, including support for grassroots sport, through the funding of projects to help develop grassroots and amateur sport organisations by improving the professional skills of their staff, both remunerated and voluntary.

A group of up to 10 people could be part of a project whose activities would be:
