Grants

The programme aims to establish a European Leadership Academy, creating a community of higher education leaders for mutual learning, exchanging practices, and co-creating solutions to shared challenges. It seeks to boost leadership expertise and enable transformative change in the European higher education sector through transnational cooperation, academic freedom, and European values. Further goals include developing sustainable academic careers and inspiring leadership models rooted in European values. The programme is designed to develop leadership capabilities to navigate evolving challenges in higher education, such as technological change, new teaching methods, and increasing cross-sectoral cooperation. Approaches are exploratory, experiential, and action-oriented, with a focus on practical engagement, balanced participation, diversity, and dissemination of learning outputs.

This action supports partnerships to design and implement actions facilitating the rollout and promotion of the joint European degree label, and explores pathways towards a possible joint European degree across disciplines. It aims to strengthen operational readiness of national systems and quality assurance for a European joint degree, increase institutional awareness, and foster cross-border joint programmes. The scope includes capacity building for legal and institutional embedding, strategic communication to raise visibility, and cross-border cooperation for regulatory exploration.

This grant aims to open new opportunities for European-based semiconductor packaging companies and their supply chain by leveraging the services of Research and Technology Organizations (RTOs) and all Chips JU pilot lines. Projects are expected to accelerate the transfer of technologies from pilot lines to industrial deployment, expand the advanced packaging ecosystem in Europe, and boost competitiveness by providing a fast path to industrialization of European semiconductor technology. Through the involvement of actors across the value chain—including materials, substrate, equipment, and test providers, as well as packaging companies and their European customers—projects should foster a strong European innovation and technology transfer ecosystem, building new and resilient supply chains in Europe.

This grant aims to deliver a more resilient, sustainable, and competitive European advanced packaging ecosystem through collaboration, standardization, and workforce development. Expected outcomes include more resilient and diversified supply chains, sustainable and resource-efficient manufacturing, accelerated standardization and interoperability, enhanced collaboration and knowledge sharing, coordinated research and innovation with industrial implementation, and a skilled, competent workforce to support advanced packaging in Europe.

This grant supports activities by volunteering teams in high-priority areas, aiming to address unmet societal challenges such as preparedness and relief for people fleeing armed conflicts and victims of disasters, fostering positive outcomes for young people with fewer opportunities, and enhancing intergenerational fairness. The initiative promotes solidarity across participating countries, skills and competence development for young people, tangible benefits to communities, diversity, intercultural dialogue, and EU values including human dignity, equality, and human rights. Focus areas include preparedness for natural and human-induced risks, support for disadvantaged youth, and boosting cooperation and solidarity across generations.

This grant aims to improve the capacity of youth organisations, particularly in eligible third countries not associated to the Erasmus+ Programme in Sub-Saharan Africa (Region 9). The objectives include strengthening the involvement of young people in democratic life, enhancing their entrepreneurial and innovative capacities, fostering transnational cooperation, ensuring inclusiveness, solidarity, and sustainability, promoting transnational learning, scaling existing practices, using digital connectivity, and linking results to local communities and job creation. Projects should raise the capacity of youth organisations outside formal education, promote non-formal learning especially among youth with fewer opportunities, support and develop youth work, foster schemes for non-formal learning mobility, and contribute to the Youth Mobility for Africa flagship initiative. The grant supports bilateral engagement between the EU and Africa, with the broader purpose of promoting youth mobility, citizenship, and professional skills.

The grant aims to improve the capacity of youth organisations in Western Balkans (eligible third countries not associated to the Erasmus+ Programme), supporting the 'Engage-Connect-Empower' priorities of the EU Youth Strategy 2019-2027, and promoting non-formal learning, democratic participation, entrepreneurship, inclusiveness, solidarity and digital tools. The objective is to foster international cooperation, enhance the involvement of young people in democratic life and project design, spread innovative practices for youth work, promote the scaling up of successful approaches, and link project results to local communities with a focus on inclusion, accessibility, and skills development.

This grant aims to improve the capacity of youth organisations, particularly in eligible South Mediterranean countries, to contribute to the 'Engage-Connect-Empower' priorities of the EU Youth Strategy 2019-2027 and related initiatives. It supports international cooperation and non-formal learning to foster sustainable socio-economic development, upskill young people, encourage their involvement in democratic life, promote innovative practices, and ensure inclusion, accessibility, and digital outreach. The programme pursues the development and expansion of youth work, the strengthening of partnerships between EU-based and South Mediterranean youth organisations, the enhancement of learning methods, and dissemination of results to broaden impact and job opportunities.

Capacity-building in the field of youth projects aim to improve the capacities of youth organisations in eligible third countries not associated to the Programme in Region 2 (Eastern Partnership). The action supports the EU Youth Strategy 2019-2027, the European Youth Work Agenda, and the Youth Action Plan in EU external action (2022-2027). It aims to raise the capacities of organisations working with young people, promote non-formal learning activities, foster participation of young people with fewer opportunities, support the development and recognition of youth work, launch schemes for non-formal learning mobility, and enhance cooperation between EU and non-EU youth organisations. The action also encourages development of new tools and innovative practices, transnational learning, social inclusion, digital outreach, and alignment with the European Youth Goals.
