Facebook chat: What's the Plus in Erasmus+?
Did you know that, in addition to providing grants for 4 million people to study, train or gain experience abroad in the next seven years, Erasmus+ will also fund 135 000 scholarships for short-term study or teaching opportunities involving countries worldwide?
Who can apply and how? This will be the subject of an hour-long? chat via the Erasmus+ Facebook page starting at 2pm CET tomorrow (24 September). Commission experts will answer your questions on scholarships, degree programmes, work placements and loan guarantees for master degrees funded under Erasmus+. Questions can also be posted in advance via Twitter or Facebook using #ErasmusPlusChat.
Erasmus+ is the European Union's new programme to support education, training, youth and sport. The programme has a budget of €14.7 billion, 40% more than before.
