Erasmus is the Union's programme for education, training, youth and sport and aims to equip people with new knowledge and skills through study, traineeships, apprenticeships, youth exchanges, teaching, training, youth work and sport activities all over Europe and beyond. It also supports the modernisation of the education and training systems across Europe.
The programme is built around three key actions: mobility, cooperation and support to policy development.
For individual training, one might be interested in KEY ACTION 1 – MOBILITY OF INDIVIDUALS. This Key Action supports: mobility of learners and staff: opportunities for students, trainees and young people, as well as for professors, staff of education institutions and civil society organisations to undertake a learning and/or professional experience in another country;
KEY ACTION 2: COOPERATION AMONG ORGANISATIONS AND INSTITUTIONS This Key Action supports, among other activities,
- Cooperation Partnerships: The primary goal of Cooperation Partnerships is to allow organisations to increase the quality and relevance of their activities, to develop and reinforce their networks of partners, to increase their capacity to operate jointly at transnational level, boosting internationalisation of their activities, and through exchanging or developing new practices and methods as well as sharing and confronting ideas.
- Alliances for Innovation: This action aims at fostering strategic cooperation between key players in higher education and vocational education and training, business and research – the "knowledge triangle" – to foster innovation and modernisation of education and training systems in identifying and supplying the right set of skills, knowledge and competences to match the future labour market
