UK NA presents update on Brexit position
By Aoileann Ní Bhroin
Before the end of 2017, it was confirmed that the UK would remain in the current Erasmus+ programme until 2020. The Commission reported “following withdrawal from the Union, the UK will continue to participate in the Union programmes financed by the MFF 2014-2020 until their closure …. Entities located in the UK will be entitled to participate in such programmes. Participation in Union programmes will require the UK and UK beneficiaries to respect all relevant Union legal provisions including co-financing. Accordingly, the eligibility to apply to participate in Union programmes and Union funding for UK participants and projects will be unaffected by the UK’s withdrawal from the Union for the entire lifetime of such projects.”
The UK National Agency – the British Council has published an update on the current position.
