Erasmus+ 2025: how to benefit from the new mobility actions

The Erasmus+ programme continues to evolve in 2025, offering expanded opportunities and enhanced schemes to support mobility across Europe and beyond. Whether you are a student, apprentice, teacher, trainer, or professional in the education and training sector, these new actions provide concrete opportunities to develop your skills, enrich your career path, and boost your employability.

In this article, discover what’s new in Erasmus+ 2025 and the key steps to benefit from it.

Erasmus+ 2025: a more inclusive and ambitious programme

For the 2021–2027 period, Erasmus+ has set clear priorities: inclusion, green transition, digital transformation, and civic engagement. In 2025, these priorities translate into:

  • Increased budgets allocated to mobility
  • Easier access for underrepresented groups (rural areas, people with disabilities, disadvantaged backgrounds)
  • More flexible mobility formats, including hybrid options
  • Greater openness to destinations outside the European Union

These developments enable a wider range of participants to benefit from a meaningful international experience.

What are the new mobility actions in 2025?

Hybrid and flexible mobility

Hybrid mobility combines online learning with a physical stay abroad. This format helps reduce costs while still ensuring a genuine intercultural experience.

Short-term mobility

Erasmus+ 2025 places greater emphasis on short-term mobility (from a few days to a few weeks), especially for:

  • Vocational education and training learners
  • School students
  • Adult learners

This approach makes participation easier for individuals who cannot commit to long stays abroad.

Strengthened mobility for apprenticeships and traineeships

Apprentices and trainees benefit from increased access to international mobility, with tailored financial support and personalized guidance.

Mobility for educational staff

Teachers, trainers, and educational staff can go abroad to:

  • Receive training
  • Observe innovative practices
  • Teach in another country

These experiences contribute to improving the quality of education systems.

Who can benefit from Erasmus+ 2025?

The programme is open to a wide audience:

  • Higher education students
  • Pupils and apprentices
  • Job seekers and adult learners
  • Teachers, trainers, and education staff
  • Organizations (schools, universities, training centers, local authorities, companies)

One of the main objectives is to broaden access to mobility, especially for individuals with fewer opportunities.

How to apply for an Erasmus+ mobility project

1. Define your project

The first step is to clearly identify your goal:

It is essential to consult your institution for detailed information.

4. Prepare your application

Your application usually includes:

Support is often available to help strengthen your application.

5. Secure funding

Erasmus+ provides grants that cover:

  • Travel expenses
  • Living costs (accommodation, food)

The amount depends on the destination and duration of the mobility.
