These figures were released as part of the 2023 Erasmus+ Annual Report. The report showcases the programme’s achievements in supporting lifelong learning and cooperation.

The 2023 gain in support came thanks to a 12.5% budget increase on 2022. In that year, Erasmus+ was able to fund 26,000 projects and some 73,000 organisations.

Highlights

More diverse

Support prioritised inclusion and diversity. Over 200,000 participants were people of fewer opportunities, including migrants, people with disabilities, people living in remote areas, or people facing socioeconomic difficulties.

Greener

In 2023, 23% of participants in Erasmus+ learning mobility activities used low-emission transport for the main part of their travel, such as bus, train or car-pooling.

Digital

More than 30,000 participants went on exchanges and followed training activities to acquire digital skills. This came as part of the Digital Education Action Plan for the EU.
