The Erasmus+ programme guide has just been published, it is available in English only. Beware the deadline for candidacies is now 2 february 2016 at noon.

The guide is a tool for anybody who would like to have a thorough knowledge of what the Erasmus+ Programme is about. This document is mainly addressed to those who wish to be:

• participating organisations: meaning those organisations, institutions, bodies organising activities supported by the Programme;
• participants: meaning those individuals (students, trainees, apprentices, pupils, adult learners, young people, volunteers, or professors, teachers, trainers, youth workers, professionals in the field of education, training, youth and sport, etc.) involved in activities organised by the participating organisations.

When planning an application, potential participating organisations can also be inspired and informed by other reference documents; some of these documents are listed in Annex IV of the Erasmus+ programme guide.
