Opportunity: Erasmus+ 2026 Call for Proposals

Official Reference: C/2025/6080 | Total Budget: €4.47 Billion

The European Commission has officially opened the 2026 call for the Erasmus+ Programme. This massive funding initiative supports education, training, youth, and sport projects worldwide, with a strong focus on inclusion, digital transformation, and green sustainability.

• Target Sectors

The funding is distributed across three primary pillars:

• Education and Training: €3.977 billion (Higher Education, VET, Schools, and Adult Education).
• Youth: €421.8 million (Non-formal learning and youth participation).
• Sport: €74 million (Staff mobility and European sport events).
• Eligibility for Yemen

Yemen is classified as a "Third Country not associated to the Programme" within Region 7 (Middle East). While Yemeni organizations cannot lead every type of project, they have significant opportunities as partners and beneficiaries:

• Capacity Building in Higher Education (CBHE): Yemeni universities can participate in projects to modernize curricula and governance.
• Erasmus Mundus Joint Masters: Yemeni institutions can be part of international consortia, and Yemeni students are eligible for full scholarships to study in Europe.
• Jean Monnet Actions: Open to Yemeni universities for teaching and research on EU-related topics.
• International Credit Mobility (ICM): Allows Yemeni students and staff to move to European universities for short-term exchanges (applications are led by the European partner).
• Youth & VET Capacity Building: Opportunities exist for Yemeni NGOs and vocational centers to partner with European counterparts.
• Key Deadlines (2026)

Applicants must submit by 12:00 (Midday) or 17:00 (CET) Brussels time depending on the action:
