Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, in most action types (KA1, KA2) applications are submitted on behalf of a legal entity (school, university, municipality, association/foundation, etc.). If you don't yet have an institution or want to take part individually, you can join a project as a partner through a school/NGO, or follow your National Agency's calls that are open to individual applicants (e.g. youth exchanges).

KA210 (Small-scale Partnerships) involves less bureaucracy, a lower budget (€30,000-60,000) and requires at least 2 partners, making it a suitable entry-level action for inexperienced organisations. KA220 (Cooperation Partnerships) has a larger budget (€120,000-400,000), requires at least 3 partners, and demands more comprehensive institutional capacity. See the KA210 and KA220 guides on our Project Types page for a detailed comparison.

KA210 requires at least 2 countries (including yours), KA220 requires at least 3 countries (including yours). More partner countries can add bonus points for the European dimension of the application, but it also divides the budget across more partners, so it's important to keep the number manageable.

The European Commission sets fixed band amounts based on the distance between the participant's point of departure and the activity venue (e.g. 100-499 km, 500-1999 km, etc.); the actual ticket price is not used in this calculation. Once you get the distance from the official Erasmus+ Distance Calculator and enter it into our KA210 Budget Calculator, the total travel budget is calculated automatically.

No. The daily amount range depends on the cost group (1, 2 or 3) of the host country; the National Agency publishes the exact rate within that range each year. Our tool determines the group automatically once you select the country and shows the allowed range.

The full daily rate applies for the first 14 days; from day 15 onward, 70% of the rate is paid. Our KA210 Budget Calculator applies this rule automatically, so you don't need to calculate it by hand.

A budget error alone won't disqualify an application, but it weakens the evaluator's perception of institutional capacity and seriousness, and may require a correction during the grant-agreement stage, delaying the process. We recommend double-checking your budget with our tools or a consultant before submitting.

Applications are submitted through the online portal the European Commission uses for Erasmus+ and the European Solidarity Corps; your organisation needs an EU Login account and an OID (Organisation ID) number. Don't leave this registration to the last day — verification can take several days.

Standard requirements include the organisation representative's signature authority document, partnership mandates, and annexes specific to the action type. For projects like KA210 where the coordinator is based abroad, see our KA210 process-steps guide on the Legislation page for the extra steps the Turkish partner needs to follow.

The grant agreement is signed, after which a portion of the total budget is usually transferred to your account as an advance. You can use our Advance Expenditure Form tool to reconcile the advance and track expenditure documents.

National Agencies' partner-search tools, announcements from SALTO resource centres (you can follow our SALTO Youth and SALTO Education & Training pages), and platforms like eTwinning are the most common sources. Reviewing the partner profiles of previously approved projects (see our Project Results page) also shows you which types of organisations partner on which themes.

Being a partner in your first project usually carries a lighter administrative load; coordinating means taking on responsibility for budget management, reporting and coordinating between partners. Moving on to coordination after gaining experience is a common path.

No. This page is compiled from announcements published by National Agencies for informational purposes; it is not an official application document or legal advice. Always confirm the deadline with the relevant National Agency's or the European Commission's official source before applying.

By default, only calls currently open for applications are listed. If you select "All (including past deadlines)" in the Status filter, expired calls are also shown, labelled "Deadline passed", for reference.

Yes. National Agencies sometimes update their announced deadline or close a call early depending on budget availability. Don't leave your application to the last day for a call with an approaching deadline, and check the official source regularly.

No, all the tools in the Tools section — budget calculators, timeline, travel-expense notification, etc. — can be used for free without an account. A membership is required for premium content such as sample projects, training videos and the AI prompt library in Erasmus Academy.

It's compiled from the official approved-project lists published by National Agencies and processed into our site; you can filter by year, country, KA action and sector.
