To contribute to the negotiations on the next Erasmus+ programme (2028–2034), YERUN has worked with a broad coalition of European higher education and mobility stakeholders to develop a set of joint amendments to the European Commission’s proposal for the next Erasmus+ Regulation.
For YERUN and its member universities, Erasmus+ is a core instrument for strengthening learning mobility and transnational cooperation. It supports skills development, inclusion, institutional resilience and Europe’s long-term competitiveness. The joint amendments aim to ensure the next programme remains ambitious, coherent and workable for learners, institutions and implementing bodies across Europe.
Why these amendments matter for YERUN members
Erasmus+ is a programme that universities deliver on the ground. Its design choices directly affect whether institutions can plan mobility and cooperation actions predictably, sustain quality, and widen access for students and staff from all backgrounds. YERUN’s engagement in this joint package provides a practical platform for member universities to support outreach towards the European Parliament and the Council as co-legislators, and to reinforce engagement with national authorities and other stakeholders.
Key YERUN messages reflected in the joint amendments
- Protect Erasmus+ core mission and quality.
- Secure an ambitious budget and planning certainty.
- Improve governance and coherence of implementation.
- Strengthen strategic impact while safeguarding mobility.
