What we do
The Erasmus+ Programme is the EU’s Programme to support education, training, youth and sport in Europe. It provides a wealth of opportunities for individuals and organisations.
Erasmus+ is made up of centralised and decentralised actions.
- The decentralised actions are managed in EU Programme Countries by National Agencies.
- The centralised actions are managed by the European Education and Culture Executive Agency located in Brussels.
There are two National Agencies in Ireland, one for Higher Education and one for Adult Education, School Education, Vocational Education and Training, and Youth.
EurIreland.ie is the website of the Erasmus+ National Agency for Higher Education which is based in the International Section of the Higher Education Authority. The Higher Education Authority (HEA) is the statutory planning and policy development body for higher education and research in Ireland.
Léargas is the National Agency for Erasmus+ in Adult Education, School Education, Vocational Education and Training, and Youth.
