As with other European funding programmes, the Erasmus+ 2025 work programme is a strategic document of fundamental importance that clearly outlines the main information on upcoming calls, such as objectives, beneficiaries, eligible interventions, and the available budget.

The funds available for the Erasmus+ work programme for the next year amount to a total of over 4.9 billion euros. This allocation, significantly higher than the record budget recorded for 2024, will support a variety of initiatives ranging from innovation alliances to sports contributions.

To know all the details about funding opportunities, even before the calls are published, a thorough reading of the WP 2025 is recommended. This helps interested parties in planning investments, optimizing time and resources for drafting a successful project proposal.

The remaining resources are allocated to national agencies and support interventions.

For the deployment of European funds, two types of procedures are planned:

  • indirect management: for actions implemented by National Agencies;
  • direct management: through calls for grants, tenders, invitations for experts, and other EU-managed actions.
