KA210 vs KA220 vs KA240
Compare Erasmus+ partnership actions by budget, duration, number of partners and difficulty level, and work out which action best fits your organisation and project idea.
| Criterion | KA210 Small-scale Partnerships | KA220 Cooperation Partnerships | KA240 European School Development Partnerships |
|---|---|---|---|
| Budget | €30,000 or €60,000 (lump sum) | €120,000 – €400,000 | €120,000 – €400,000 (same budget logic as KA220) |
| Project Duration | 6–24 months | 12–36 months | 12–36 months |
| Min. Partners | At least 2 organisations from 2 countries | At least 3 organisations from 3 countries | At least 3 organisations from 3 countries |
| Sectors Covered | Okul Eğitimi, Mesleki Eğitim, Yetişkin Eğitimi, Gençlik | Okul Eğitimi, Mesleki Eğitim, Yetişkin Eğitimi, Gençlik, Yükseköğretim | Okul Eğitimi |
| Difficulty | Easy | Hard | Hard |
| Ideal Use Case | Inexperienced organisations writing their first Erasmus+ project who want to start with less bureaucracy. | Multi-partner consortiums with strong institutional capacity aiming for concrete, structural impact. | Partnerships only in the school education sector, at the same scale as KA220 but focused on school development. |
| Common Mistake | Setting goals too ambitious for the limited budget and duration. | Budget not distributed consistently with the work packages. | Being confused with KA220-SCH and applying under the wrong action code. |
