Answer
We will work closely with institutions and our young people to maximise take-up, particularly among disadvantaged groups.
A UK National Agency will be appointed to administer the programme, with a dedicated website and guidance issued well ahead of the 2027 funding call which opens in November 2026.
On 17 December 2025, the department published on GOV.UK a page providing information about the Erasmus+ programme and the available opportunities.
There will also be a broad range of sector outreach activities to increase awareness and engagement, such as webinars and targeted communications to eligible organisations.
