Merkezi Projeler Hakkında Sıkça Sorulan Sorular

*For further and up-to-date details, refer to the programme guide of the relevant year.

How can I make sure that my organisation is a legal entity according to the requirements of the European Commission?

Check the requirements in the rules for the validation of legal entity. You first need to request a PIC (Participant Identification Code) with 9 digits. You will be contacted at a later stage for the validation of your PIC registration data. Make sure in advance that your organisation has all the documents and information required for the PIC validation.

What kind of financial reporting will be required?

The financial part of the periodic report will include a statement on the use of the previous prefinancing payment.

For the final report, the financial statement will mention the lump sum contributions indicated in Annex 2 of the grant agreement, for the work packages completed during the period.

In exceptional circumstances, the beneficiaries may declare partial lump sum contributions for work packages that were not completed (e.g. due to force majeure or technical impossibility).

How is the funding for the project calculated?

Yes. CoVEs are not based on ‘prefixed’ lump sums but on lump sums based on the approved budget (type II). Therefore, they need to be filled in.

Are natural persons and SME owners eligible to participate and how can we calculate their costs?

• They are eligible provided they apply the Commission Decision of 20 October 2020. This decision authorises and defines unit costs for the personnel costs of the owners of small and medium-sized enterprises and beneficiaries that are natural persons not receiving a salary for the work carried out by themselves under an action or work programme.  

Can organisations from third countries not associated to the Programme (e.g., China, UK or Canada) participate as full partners and receive funding?

• Organisations from these countries can participate as full partner, affiliated entity or associated partner. However, they cannot submit the application and be the coordinator as only organisations from the Erasmus+ countries can undertake this role. The list of EU Member States, countries associated and not associated to the Programme is availble in Part A of the Programme Guide in the section  “Eligible Countries”.

Do we have to complete the sections “Ethics” (5.1) and “Security” (5.2)?

• These sections do not need to be completed.

How should the 20% co-financing part of the budget be assured?

• Respect of the no-profit and co-financing principles is generally assumed in the frame of lump sums, and therefore, applicants do not have to provide information about sources of funding other than the EU grant, nor do they have to justify the costs incurred by the project. Therefore, no further financial verification will be made on the 20% minimum contribution expected to be provided by the partnership.

What kind of financial reporting will be required?

• The financial part of the periodic report will include a statement on the use of the prefinancing payment. For the final report, the financial statement will mention the lump sum contributions indicated in Annex 2 of the grant agreement, for the work packages completed during the period.In exceptional circumstances, the beneficiaries may declare partial lump sum contributions for work packages that were not completed (e.g. due to force majeure or technical impossibility). 

Do we need to send an audit report at the end of the project?

• No audit report or certificate on the financial statements will be requested with the final report. 

How should the staff costs for person/month be calculated?

• The estimation of staff costs should correspond to the costs according to the staff cost policy applicable in your organisation. Please encode your costs using the Detailed budget table. In each ‘BEx’ sheet, for section “ DIRECT PERSONNEL COSTS”, you have to encode the following unit: 1 unit is 1 person-month. Staff categories (Type 1-4) can be defined according to the categories most relevant for the partner organisations.  
• As explained in instruction 11 of the Detailed budget table, you have to estimate the eligible costs of your proposal using the same methodology as if these costs should be declared under an actual cost-based grant agreement. For additional information, please refer to article 6.2 of the Annotated Model Grant Agreement, specifying Specific eligibility conditions for each budget category, point on Personnel Costs. 

How can we declare costs for volunteers?

• Volunteers costs are not a classic cost category. Volunteers' work is not paid, but the related costs may nonetheless be added to the budget in the form of a pre-fixed unit cost (per volunteer) and thus allow the project to benefit from the volunteers’ work (by increasing the amount of reimbursement up to 100% of the normal costs, i.e. cost categories other than volunteers)

How should the costs of travel and subsistence be calculated?

• To calculate your travel, accommodation & subsistences costs, you have to use the unit costs for travel, accommodation and subsistence specified in the Commission Decision C(2021)35and Programme Guide - Part C (information for applicants – financial conditions). 

Does each partner need to have a validated Participant Identification Code (PIC)?

• To be added in an application, all organisations, including the applicant organisation, the full partners, affiliated entities or associated partners must have a PIC number. The PIC number does not have to be validated for the submission of your proposal. In case your proposal will be selected, the PIC number of each organisation involved in your application, except for associated partners, must be validated before signing the Grant Agreement.

Is it possible to be a partner in two or more CoVEs applications?

• Yes, this is possible. However, you must pay attention to clearly separate activities from both projects. You must also ensure that you will have the financial and operational capacities to fulfil the activities if both projects are selected.

Do we need to send CVs?

• The competence and experience of staff must be described in the Application Form – Part B, section 2.1.3 ‘Project teams, staff and experts’. 

Do mandate letters signed by partners need to be attached to the application form

• If selected, at a later stage, partners will need to submit an “accession form” to be formally considered as part of the grant agreement.

Will the grant only be paid at the end when the work packages are completed?

• No, a prefinancing payment of 40% will be made at the start of the project, a second prefinancing of 40% at mid-stage, upon acceptance of a technical report on the progress of the project, and the final balance will be paid at the end upon delivery of all work package achievements and acceptance of the final report. 

Can universities be included in the partnership?

• Yes, universities can participate if they provide vocational education and training at tertiary level (e.g., Universities of applied sciences, Polytechnic institutes, etc.).

How is the funding?

• The funding will be awarded with a lump sum. The lump sum is determined from the estimated budget proposed. A budget table must be filled-in with an estimation of the costs incurred in the project. Applicants must also provide a breakdown of the budget showing the share per work package. Costs described can cover staff costs, travel and subsistence costs, equipment costs, subcontracting costs and other costs. The lump sum will be limited to a maximum of 80% of the estimated budget after the evaluation.  The funding rules for Centres of Vocational Excellence are explained in the Erasmus+ Programme Guide, Key Action 2: Centres of Vocational Excellence,“What are the funding rules?” 

Do sections where it is mentioned “n/a for prefixed Lump Sum Grants” need to be completed?

• CoVEs are not based on ‘prefixed’ lump sums but on lump sums based on the approved budget (type II). Therefore, they need to be filled in. 

*For further and up-to-date details, refer to the programme guide of the relevant year.

In the Consortium composition section, the expression ‘6 applicants’ shall be read as ‘a minimum of 6 applicants’. Additional requirements indicated in the same section have to be taken into account as well.

Under the horizontal Erasmus+ priority ‘Environment and fight against climate change’, what is the link to the official text of the Council Recommendation on learning for the green transition and sustainable development, as adopted by the Council?

The link to the official text of the Council Recommendation on learning for the green transition and sustainable development is the following: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A32022H0627%2801%29

Can organisations at 0 ISCED level, such as nurseries and pre-primary schools, participate in a project?

You can find examples (non-exhaustive list) of eligible participating organisations, in the text of the call under the section ‘Eligible participating organisations’, such as ‘Teacher Education Institutions (colleges, institutes, universities providing initial teacher education and/or continuing professional development) for teachers and Early childhood education and care (ECEC) staff at ISCED levels 0-3, including VET teachers’.

The call specifies that ‘For the purpose of this call, the term "teacher" is to be understood in an enlarged way, including trainers and early childhood education and care (ECEC) staff’.

When choosing one or more Erasmus+ priorities as theme(s) for the activities of a project, do we need to cover all the sub-themes listed in the text of the call, or we could choose some sub-themes? Could we do a mix of themes and sub-themes?

By choosing a theme, you can address one or more of the subthemes, you do not need to address all the subthemes. You can also mix the themes and subthemes, provided that a link with at least one main priority is clear and consistent.

In a project, can one organisation be at the same time provider of initial teacher education and provider of continuing professional development?

What is the page limitation for the Application Form Part B (Technical Description)?

For the Erasmus+ Teacher Academies call for proposals, the page limitation for the Application Form Part B is 70 pages.

According to Part C of the Erasmus+ Programme Guide, the page limitations for the Application Form Part B are the following: ‘Applications (Part B) are limited to 40 pages for calls for low value grants (EUR 60 000 or below); 120 pages for calls with high value grants (EUR 4 000 000) and 70 for all other calls’.

Can a project involve as target group professors of the higher education institutions?

The target group for the Erasmus+ Teacher Academies are teachers, including trainers and early childhood education and care (ECEC) staff. Professors of the higher education institutions are not targeted. However, professors of the higher education institutions may be involved for example, in teaching pedagogy methods to student teachers.

Under the call Teacher Academies, criterion - quality of the partnership and the cooperation arrangements. How to justify the geographical composition in a given partnership?

It is up to the applicant to explain how the geographical composition in a given partnership will ensure that the objectives of the Erasmus+ Teacher Academies are achieved. 

The justification should refer to the questions mentioned in the programme guide. For the geographical dimension for instance, the applicant should explain:

• - the extent to which the partnership includes relevant partners from different geographical areas = relevant for the project;
• - the extent to which the geographical composition of the partnership is relevant to the achievement of the objectives of the action Erasmus+ Teacher Academies;
• - the extent to which the partnership includes a wide and appropriate range of relevant actors at local and regional levels. 

Under the call Teacher Academies, are kindergarten teaching programmes eligible under Teacher Academies?

Kindergarten teaching programmes/kindergartens are not eligible. Only schools and teacher education involved in/with relevance to the ISCED level 1-3 are eligible as partners.

Under the call Teacher Academies, is it possible not to allocate the project budget to mobility activities and apply separately for Erasmus+ mobility programmes for the students and in-service teaching staff?

In order to avoid double funding and to ensure that all the planned costs are covered, all costs related to the project should be included in the Erasmus+ Teacher Academies budget.

Under the call Teacher Academies, what is the criterion for being a nationally recognised organisation?

Organisations must be “recognised by competent authorities in their countries” i.e. the authorities that authorise institutions to provide teacher education and define the legally recognised qualifications. This will be checked on a case by case basis according to the context of the participating country.

Under the call Teacher Academies, how should we involve the training institutions in the project? If some of these institutions are only involved in certain work packages, are they considered full partners?

Training institutions can be involved as either full partners or associated partners.  

For a definition of associated partners, please see the Programme Guide. 

Under the call Teacher Academies, when choosing EU priorities should we choose only the ones targeted by our project?

Yes, only the priorities targeted by your project should be chosen.

Under the call Teacher Academies, is there a maximum number of training institutions that may be involved in a project?

There is no maximum number of partners. Please refer to the Programme Guide “Eligibility Criteria” for the required number and profile of participating organisations.

Under the call Teacher Academies, what language versions of the call and application forms are available to applicants?

The call documentation and the application forms are available only in English. Please note that even although the forms are in English, the application may be written in any of the official EU languages.

Under the call Teacher Academies, can the deadline for the submission of applications be extended?

The deadline for the submission of applications is an admissibility/eligibility criterion. All applications must be sent by the official deadline or they will not be considered for selection.

Under the call Teacher Academies, operational capacity - what type of CVs would you like to receive from professionals and should we include CVs for administrative personnel?

The submission of CVs is not mandatory for any project staff. However, you must complete carefully chapter 2.1.3 Project teams, staff and experts as well as chapter 2.2 Partnership and cooperation arrangements of the application form:  

Describe the project teams and how they will work together to implement the project. 

List the staff included in the project budget (budget category A Personnel) by function/profile (e.g. project manager, senior expert/advisor/researcher, junior expert/advisor/researcher, trainers/teachers, technical personnel, administrative personnel etc.) and describe shortly their tasks.  

Under the call Teacher Academies, can a project focus only on developing teaching in vet education?

The Programme Guide does not exclude this, so yes, a Teacher Academies project can focus only on developing teaching in VET education, provided it is within ISCED levels from 1-3 (i.e. initial VET).

Under the call Teacher Academies, can a partner have several roles in the project?

The Erasmus+ Teacher Academies addresses institutions that provide both initial and continuing teacher education. These institutions can be seen as providers of initial teacher training, when providing the general pedagogical qualifications, but also as providers of continuing professional development, when the unit of this field would be actively participating in the project.

However, each participating organisation can have only one role in the partnership i.e. can represent only one type of institution (initial, continuing or training school).

Together, the institutions should fulfil the minimum requirements for the partnership as outlined in the Programme Guide under “Eligibility criteria”. 

Under the call Teacher Academies, can you provide a clear definition of a "practice/training school"?

In the context of Erasmus+ Teacher Academies “training/practice schools” refer to schools where teacher students and serving teachers can do practical training e.g. on pedagogical methods, as part of the initial teacher education or when taking part in continuous professional development offers.

These schools should have the necessary competence to implement the work programme of the project. 

Under the call Teacher Academies, apart from the European priorities mentioned in the call, is entrepreneurship considered a priority?

The priorities mentioned in the call derive from current EU policy priorities and are specifically relevant in the support we give to teachers and schools within the European Education Area in the years to come and therefore also for this call. It is up to the applicant to propose how other specific priorities will support the collaboration on these key European priorities.

Under the call Teacher Academies, when will the budget sheet become available?

There are two budget tables for the budget based Erasmus+ Teacher Academies:

• - One in the online form (part A), which should be completed online;
• - One in the application form (part B) under chapter 4.2 Work packages and activities.

Both of these budget tables appear in the application form, which you can access once you start preparing a submission.

Please also have a look at the Standard application form (ERASMUS BB and LSII) available under the “Topic conditions and documents” section of the Erasmus+ Teacher Academies page of the Funding and Tender Opportunities Portal.

Under the call Teacher Academies, how should we calculate the amounts for work hours, incidental expenses as well as the travel amounts?

It is up to the applicant to calculate these expenses, in accordance with national rules and regulations.

Under the call Teacher Academies, operational capacity - should the list of previous projects be presented by the partner or by the project start year?

We advise you to provide the list by project (rather than by partner). You should include all the necessary information such as the title of the project, reference number, start and end date, EC Programme or initiative concerned, name of the coordinating organisation, and website.  

In addition, please summarise the project’s outputs and describe how the new proposal seeks to build on them and how ownership/copyright issues are to be dealt with. NB: there is a recommended limit of 500 characters.

The Networks on external policy "EU-North America" support the academic cooperation on the priorities of the Jean Monnet actions between European and North American Higher Education institutions and is therefore limited to Member States, third countries associated to the Erasmus+ Programme and North America countries (region 12).

What are the funding rules?

This action follows a lump sum funding model. The amount of the single lump sum contribution will be determined for each grant based on the estimated budget of the action proposed by the applicant. The granting authority will fix the lump sum of each grant based on the proposal, evaluation result, funding rates and the maximum grant amount set in the call.

Maximum EU contribution per network on internal EU issues is EUR 1 000 000

Maximum EU contribution per network on external policy issues is EUR 1 200 000

How is the project lump sum determined?

Applicants must fill in a detailed budget table according to the application form, taking into account the following points:

• - the budget should be detailed as necessary by beneficiary/-ies and organised in coherent work packages (for example divided into ‘project management’, ‘training’, ‘organisation of events’, ‘mobility preparation and implementation’, ‘communication and dissemination’, ‘quality assurance’, etc.)
• - the proposal must describe the activities covered by each work package
• - applicants must provide in their proposal a breakdown of the estimated costs showing the share per work package (and, within each work package, the share assigned to each beneficiary and affiliated entity)
• - costs can cover staff costs, travel and subsistence costs, equipment costs and subcontracting as well as other costs (such as dissemination of information, publishing or translation)

Proposals will be evaluated according to the standard evaluation procedures with the help of internal and/or external experts. The experts will assess the quality of the proposals, against the requirements defined in the call and the expected impact, quality and efficiency of the action.

Following the proposal evaluation, the authorising officer will establish the amount of the lump sum, taking into account the findings of the assessment carried out. The co-financing rate of 80% will be applied to the total estimated eligible costs determined after evaluation.

The grant parameters (maximum grant amount, funding rate, total eligible costs, etc) will be fixed in the Grant Agreement.

Financial support to third parties in the form of grants or prizes is allowed.

Project applications must clearly specify why financial support to third parties is needed, how it will be managed and provide a list of the different types of activities for which a third party may receive financial support. The proposal must also clearly describe the results to be obtained.

Maximum amount of financial support that can be paid to a third party shall not exceed EUR 60 000.

Volunteer costs are allowed. They shall take the form of unit costs as defined in the Commission Decision on unit costs for volunteers.

The project achievements will be evaluated on the outcomes completed. The funding scheme would allow putting focus on the outputs rather than the inputs, thereby placing emphasis on the quality and level of achievement of measurable objectives.

Jean Monnet Networks in other fields of Education and Training

Can a directorate of education which is a public body take part in a Jean Monnet Action and in which one?

With regard to Networks, only Schools and VET Institutes may apply.

For the teacher training action, one Higher Education Institution or one Teacher Training Institute/Agency providing initial and/or in-service training to teachers of schools and/or VET institutes may apply.

In the proposal, applicant institutions will have to declare that they are Teacher training institutes/ agencies. During the evaluation or the grant agreement preparation, further evidence may be requested as to the legal status of applicant institutions (i.e. the legal statute should clearly indicate teacher education/teacher training as a main activity and/or the entity is a provider of training to teachers).

What is the difference between lump sum and actual costs - is the difference related to the reporting and audit phase?

A lump sum is agreed ex-ante, as a result of the evaluation process and it is integrated in the Grant Agreement. The lump sum type 2 or customised lump sum is divided in Work Packages, for each Work Package, the amount is closed at the signature of the Grant agreement. This implies that the project will only focus on the content and not on the financial reporting. If the work is implemented as described, then the lump sum is paid as described and there is no need of calculation of the actual costs. For better understanding of the new financial mechanisms, please consult this Youtube video.

*For further and up-to-date details, refer to the programme guide of the relevant year.

What is the scope of Jean Monnet actions in other fields of education and training?

Higher Education Institutions or Teacher Training Institutes/Agencies will organise activities under this action enabling teachers in schools and Vocational Education and Training (VET) providers to develop new skills, to teach and engage on EU matters, thus empowering them through a better understanding of the EU and its functioning.

Teacher training bodies (both for initial teacher education and for continuous professional development for teachers) will strengthen their internal knowledge and skills on teaching about EU matters, and this will, leave teachers better equipped when introducing EU content in their activities.

Teacher Training activities will support educational staff in schools and VET providers (ISCED 1 – 4).

Jean Monnet Teacher Training aims to support schools and VET providers in planning, organising and delivering EU content in their curricular and extra-curricular activities. The main objectives are to:

• - allow schools and VET providers (ISCED 1- 4) to build knowledge about the EUamong their teaching staff;
• - offer structured training proposals on EU subjects for schools and VET providers, provide content and methodologies for teacher teaching at various levels, from different backgrounds and experience;
• - deliver specific individual or group training courses (modular, residential, blended or online) for teachers interested in the EU and willing to integrate EU subjects in their daily work;

foster the confidence of teachers in integrating an EU angle in their daily work.

Is the Jean Monnet action on teacher training open to universities?

Yes if the university has a faculty/department dedicated to teacher training activities.

Do we need a permit from the Ministry for Education to participate in the programme?

No permit is needed from the Ministry of Education to participate in the programme, just make sure when you apply, that your institution/country abides to the eligibility rules set out in the Call for proposals for the action you wish to apply for.

Question about eligibility: Teacher training agencies are defined in different ways in different countries. How do you legitimise that we are a teacher training agency?

In the proposal, applicant institutions will have to declare that they are teacher training institutes/agencies.

During the evaluation or the grant agreement preparation, further evidence may be requested as to the legal status of applicant institutions (i.e. the legal statute should clearly indicate teacher education / teacher training as a main activity and/or the entity is a provider of training to teachers).

Can an education and technology association be considered a training provider?

Yes, if the association provides proof that it is dedicated to teacher training activities targeting ISCED 1-4, in which case applications would be welcome. In the proposal, applicant institutions will have to declare that they are teacher training institutes/ agencies. During the evaluation or the grant agreement preparation, further evidence may be requested as to the legal status of applicant institutions (i.e. the legal statute should clearly indicate teacher education / teacher training as a main activity and/or the entity is a provider of training to teachers).

For teacher training, how many institutions and/or countries can apply?

According to the Erasmus+ Programme Guide, the Jean Monnet teacher training action, one Higher Education Institution or one Teacher Training Institute/Agency providing initial and/or in-service training to teachers of schools and/or VET institutes (ISCED 1-4) may apply for funding.

Can a higher education institute that offers modules on didactic and pedagogical competence for undergraduate students apply for a Jean Monnet action?

HEIs can apply to any of the Jean Monnet actions offered under the 2024 Call - except for the Schools Network action. HEIs from any country in the world can apply for Modules, Chairs and Centres of Excellence, whilst the Teacher Training action is reserved to Programme Countries only.

Is the JM action open to universities training in service training and those working on initial teacher training?

Yes. Teacher training activities cover initial and/or in service teacher training.

Can JM teacher training courses be delivered only in one country? If the applicant decides to deliver the course to teachers only in one country could it be penalised during the evaluation phase?

JM teacher trainings courses may be delivered in more than one country but it is not compulsory. See more details on award criteria for the teacher training action.

For applying as a teacher training institute is it necessary to have an OID?

All potential beneficiaries wanting to apply for a Jean Monnet action must begin by creating an OID (organisation ID). For applications relating to the 2024 call for Jean Monnet actions, you will find all relevant documents, the Erasmus+ Programme Guide and the application forms on the Funding and Tender Opportunity Portal.

Can a member of the team developing teacher training be from the UK?

The Jean Monnet teacher training action is open to Programme countries only. This does not prevent an institution from having staff members that come from other countries.

What is the difference between lump sum and actual costs - is the difference related to the reporting and audit phase?

A lump sum is agreed ex ante, as a result of the evaluation process and it is integrated in the Grant Agreement. The lump sum type 2 or customised lump sum is divided in Work Packages, for each Work Package, the amount is closed at the signature of the Grant agreement. This implies that the project will only focus on the content and not on the financial reporting. If the work is implemented as described, then the lump sum is paid as described and there is no need of calculation of the actual costs. For better understanding of the new financial mechanisms, please consult this Youtube video.

As teachers, how can we find these courses? Is there a course catalogue (once the funds have been given)?

The beneficiaries will be published as well as details of their offer (including the facilities for potential interested teachers) and made available on our website. Once the results are available, you can benefit from the results of the teacher training actions, once up and running. Learning resources on the EU are available in all EU official languages on the Learning corner website.

*For further and up-to-date details, refer to the programme guide of the relevant year.

Under the Erasmus + Program, in the Jean Monnet Calls for Modules, Chairs and Learning EU initiative, do applicants need to give budget details in their applications?

The Erasmus + Programme Guide indicates the appropriate lump sums for the Jean Monnet Modules, Chairs and Learning EU Initiative depending on the teaching hours of the respective country.

There is no need to specify budget details in the application form. However, you need to detail the number of teaching hours per year. In your application form on the Funding and Tenders Portal under the Jean Monnet call, you will need to download and complete a calculator with this information.

Under the Programme Erasmus +, in the Jean Monnet call Learning EU Initiative, how are the teaching hours calculated and how many classes should be involved?

The Erasmus + Programme Guide indicates that applicants must ensure a minimum of 40 teaching hours on EU based matters per school year, for a total of at least 120 teaching hours during the whole action.

It is up to the Applicants to decide how many classes shall be involved in the action and how the overall teaching hours will be distributed among groups of students.

Under Erasmus+, in preparing my application for the Jean Monnet calls for Chairs, Modules and Learning EU, can I use the templates of the Application Form Part B and of the Calculator from the previous Jean Monnet calls?

No, please do not use the templates from previous years but only use the templates on the FTOP and those available once you start your application - 'Download part B templates': Application Form (Part B) (ERASMUS LS JMO) and Calculator (ERASMUS LS JMO Chairs, Modules and Learning Initiatives)”.

What is Jean Monnet Chair?

Jean Monnet Chair is a university chair awarded by the European Commission (Erasmus+) to support research and debate in the field of European Union integration. Their objective is to reinforce teaching, research and diffusion of European integration both in Member States of the European Union and in other countries.

What is the aim?

Jean Monnet Chairs are designed to:

• - deepen teaching in EU studies embodied in the official curriculum of a higher education institution
• - provide in-depth teaching on EU matters in areas increasingly in demand in the labour market.

Jean Monnet Chairs are also encouraged to provide open educational resources and involve open education activities in their work to increase the flexibility and accessibility of learning.

What is the opportunity?

Chairs are teaching posts with a specialisation in European Union studies for university professors for a duration of three years. A Jean Monnet Chair is held by only one professor, who provides the minimum of 90 teaching hours per academic year. The Chair may also have a team to support and enhance the activities of the Chair, including the provision of additional teaching hours.

Participating HEIs are expected to support the Chair holder in their teaching, research, and reflection activities, allowing a wide range of curricula to benefit from the courses.

How does it work?

An organisation intending to apply for a permanent staff member must be a HEI established anywhere in the world. If the HEI is from a Programme Country, it must hold a valid Erasmus Charter for Higher Education (ECHE). 

Those in Partner countries do not require an ECHE. This opportunity is not available for individuals.

A Jean Monnet Chair must last for three years, and must have a minimum duration of 90 teaching hours per academic year in the field of European Union Studies at the applicant Higher Education Institution by the Chairholder.

A Chair must also carry out at least one additional activity per academic year.

The 90 hours include group lectures, seminars, and tutorials, including in a distance format, but not individual instruction.

A Chair-holder must be a permanent member of staff at the applicant institution with the rank of "Professor"; they may not be a visiting Professor at the time of the application.

The maximum grant per Chair is 50,000 Euros (representing maximum 75% of the total cost of the teaching programme or course).

What else should you know?

If a Chair holder needs to be replaced, a written request must be sent to the European Education and Culture Executive Agency, and the proposed replacement must have the same level of specialisation as the outgoing Chair.

What are Jean Monnet Centres of Excellence?

Jean Monnet Centres of Excellence are focal points of competence and knowledge on European Union subjects, funded under the EU's Erasmus+ Programme. We were first awarded this status in 2016, and have renewed it in 2019 and 2023.

What is a Jean Monnet Centre of Excellence and what does it do?

Jean Monnet Centres of Excellence are proposed and hosted by a higher education institution, may involve the cooperation of several faculties/departments and include also other organisations specialised in EU studies.

Jean Monnet Centres of Excellence are focal points of competence and knowledge on European Union subjects. They should gather the expertise and competences of high-level experts aiming to develop synergies between the various disciplines and resources in European studies as well as at creating joint transnational activities, they also ensure openness to civil society.

Jean Monnet Centres of Excellence have a major role in reaching out to students from faculties not normally dealing with European Union issues as well as to policy makers, the civil society and the general public at large. They also give experts the opportunity to create joint transnational activities.

What types of activities are supported?

1. Teaching and Research: Jean Monnet Modules, Chairs and Centres of Excellence.
2. Support to Associations: Jean Monnet support to Associations.
3. Policy debate with the Academic World: Jean Monnet Networks and Jean Monnet Projects.

What is the scope of Erasmus Mundus Design Measures?

To reinforce the international dimension of the European Education Area, Erasmus Mundus Design Measures aim to enhance the capacities of higher education institutions in Europe to modernise and internationalise their curricula, by developing new master programmes in partnership with universities worldwide.

Developing international master programmes is crucial for universities in Europe. International collaboration brings diverse academic perspectives and teaching methodologies, enriching the curriculum and broadening students' educational experiences. International master programmes also attract students from around the world, thus increasing the diversity and talent pool, as well as enhancing the universities' reputation and competitiveness on the global stage.

By collaborating with institutions worldwide, universities in Europe can pool resources and knowledge to address pressing global issues such as climate change, digital transformation and sustainable development. In the long run, Erasmus Mundus Design Measures will foster the development of common mechanisms in higher education related to quality assurance, accreditation and recognition of degrees and credits.

The main objective of the Erasmus Mundus Design Measures is therefore to encourage the development of innovative, highly integrated new international study programmes at Master level. These international study programmes are jointly delivered by an international consortium of higher education institutions from different countries worldwide and, where relevant, other educational and/or non-educational partners with specific expertise and interest in the concerned study areas/professional domains.

Beneficiaries should provide a level of education corresponding to level 7 of the international standard classification of education ISCED 2011.

What are the eligible participating organisations for Erasmus Mundus Design Measures?

In order to be eligible, applicants must be:

• legal entities (public or private bodies);
• higher education institutions (HEIs) established in one of the eligible countries, i.e. an EU Member State or third country associated to the Programme;
• holders of the ECHE certificate (Erasmus Charter for Higer Education).

Exception: organisations from Belarus (Region 2) and the Russian Federation (Region 4) are not eligible to participate in this action.

What is the geographic location (Venue of the activities)?

The project must include activities that involve higher education institutions from one or more countries not associated to the Erasmus+ programme. Where relevant, other educational and/or non-educational partners with specific expertise and interest in the concerned study areas/professional domains may also be involved in these activities.

What is the duration of the project?

Projects should normally last 15 months (extensions are possible, if duly justified and through an amendment.

Where to apply?

Under the Erasmus+ - Key Action 2 - Partnerships for Excellence - Erasmus Mundus Joint Master (EMJM), what do the individual/special needs unit costs comprise?

The individual needs unit cost is created to provide assistance in terms of travel, international mobility, infrastructural adaptations, technological equipment and specific services (e.g. assistance by third persons, adaptation of work environment, additional travel/transportation costs) to students with disabilities (e.g. long-term physical, mental, intellectual or sensory impairments), enrolled in an Erasmus Mundus Joint Master (EMJM).

Contribution for individual needs are eligible, if they fulfil the general eligibility conditions and are calculated as unit contributions in accordance with the method set out in the grant agreement and if:

(a) they are used for enrolled students (with or without scholarship) with disabilities whose long-term physical, mental, intellectual or sensory impairments are certified by a competent national authority and of such nature that their participation in the action would not be possible without the special needs items or services

(b) the special needs items or services are not already covered from another source (such as social security or health insurance)

(c) the number of units declared corresponds to the number of special needs units that were needed for implementing the action.

The special needs budget is optional, but we encourage applicants to request 1 or 2 times the maximum unit cost of € 60.000 in order to be able to cover the special needs costs if needed.

Under the Erasmus+ - Key Action 2 - Partnerships for Excellence - Erasmus Mundus Joint Masters, can the same institution submit two proposals for two different degrees?

Yes, it is possible to submit several proposals under the same call. However, as the project selection is very competitive, please note that the chance to be selected for funding depends on the quality of the application(s) compared to all other applications submitted under the same call for proposals.

Where will my Erasmus Mundus Master degree(s) be recognised?

The double, multiple or joint degree delivered by an Erasmus Mundus master programme will be officially recognised in the countries awarding the degree. Recognition of the degree in another European or non-European country is a decision that falls solely within the responsibility of the country concerned.

What kind of degree will I obtain after my Erasmus Mundus studies? Where will it be recognised?

Graduate students of an Erasmus Mundus master programme may be awarded a double, multiple or joint degree depending on the modalities of the course they attend. This information should be available on the programme website or provided by the Coordinator.

Every degree should be accompanied by a Joint Diploma Supplement outlining the nature, level and content of the studies, including the mobility pathway followed by the student, in a standardised format.

A Transcript of Records is also annexed to the degree.

Can I interrupt or postpone my Erasmus Mundus studies?

If you need to temporarily interrupt your studies, you should immediately contact the Coordinator of the programme. Any interruption has to be agreed with the Coordinator. They will be able to give you more information regarding the procedure.

If you have to temporarily leave the course for justified reasons, your scholarship may be put on hold for a certain period of time until you are again able to resume and can actively continue pursuing the course activities.

Can I work during my studies in an Erasmus Mundus master programme?

Erasmus Mundus scholarships are designed as full-time scholarships. As such, they should provide enough resources for students to be able to concentrate on their studies without the necessity of paid employment. The courses require intensive academic activity. Moreover, work permit conditions for non-EU students vary from country to country.

Can I do an internship during my Erasmus Mundus studies?

Most Erasmus Mundus programmes include mandatory or optional internships as part of the study programme. These are excellent opportunities for the students to gain practical knowledge and contacts with potential employers.

However, internships should be carefully agreed upon with the programme Coordinator.

When attending an Erasmus Mundus master programme, can I choose the countries where I want to study?

The countries where you can study are defined by the master programme. To know more, contact the Coordinator.

As a general rule, you must study in a minimum of two countries different from your own country of residence.

You may study / research / do an internship in an institution or in a country outside the consortium, always upon agreement with the Coordinator.

How can I obtain my visa to study in an Erasmus Mundus master programme?

The Coordinator of the course you will study will provide you with guidance and support when applying for a visa. However, you are entirely responsible for completing your visa request and for obtaining it before the start of your studies. As the procedure can be time-consuming and differs from one country to another, it is best to start applying the soonest possible.

What should I do if I receive provisional offers from two Erasmus Mundus Joint Masters?

If you have been selected provisionally by more than one course, we advise you to contact the two masters concerned.

Getting more information about the courses will help you make your final choice. Once you decide which offer you accept or reject, you should communicate it to the two programmes.

Please understand that rejecting an offer is definitive, and your scholarship will be given to another student.

How will I know if I have been selected for an Erasmus Mundus scholarship?

You will be informed about the results of your application directly by the Coordinator(s) of the Erasmus Mundus programme(s) you have applied for.

You will therefore know if you are selected, rejected or on a reserve list. Just remember, it is possible that each course informs their students at different stages or times.

Which academic disciplines are covered in the Erasmus Mundus master programme?

Although the Erasmus Mundus master programmes cover a large range of academic disciplines, they do not cover all existing ones.

Look at the Erasmus Mundus Catalogue and see if there are programmes of your interest.

The Catalogue is updated every year around September-October.

Can I get an Erasmus Mundus scholarship for a short-term mobility period?

Erasmus Mundus does not offer scholarships for short-term mobility.

The International Relations Office of your university may advise you on study abroad grants or traineeship abroad grants.

You may also have a look at the Erasmus+ programme or at study portals.

Can I apply for a Doctorate scholarship through the Erasmus Mundus action?

No. The doctoral programmes and fellowships are available under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions, not via Erasmus Mundus.

Can I receive other EU funding in addition to the Erasmus Mundus scholarship?

Erasmus Mundus scholarship holders cannot benefit from another EU-funded scholarship during their studies.

Erasmus Mundus students who do not receive an Erasmus Mundus scholarship, are allowed to benefit from Erasmus+ credit mobility scholarships, if such a possibility exists at the relevant institutions.

Are there provisions in the Erasmus Mundus master programme for candidates with special needs?

All actions under the Erasmus+ programme are open to people with special needs. The programme aims at promoting equity and inclusion by facilitating the access to learners with disadvantaged backgrounds and fewer opportunities compared to their peers, including people with mental, physical, sensory or other disabilities. For more information, consult the section "Equity and Inclusion" of the Erasmus+ Programme Guide and the Coordinator of the programme you are interested in.

If someone already holds a Master degree, can they apply for an Erasmus Mundus master programmee?

In principle, already graduated master students can participate in the programme.

However, all Erasmus Mundus master programmes have their own application requirements, and we cannot provide guidance on the specific conditions of each. Please carefully check the scholarship selection's eligibility conditions of the particular programme(s) you are applying for.

Can I apply for an Erasmus Mundus master programme if I am a European citizen or a non-European citizen already living in Europe?

Erasmus Mundus master programmes are open to any student worldwide, independently of their nationality or country of residence.

The scholarship mechanisms depend on the generation of the master you are applying for. Please contact directly the course organisers, who will inform you on the applicable rules.

How to apply for an Erasmus Mundus master programme?

The list of all Erasmus Mundus master programmes is available on the Catalogue. Go to the website of the master you are interested in. Check the conditions for scholarship application.

What is the scope of capacity building in the field of Vocational Education and Training (VET)?

Capacity building projects are international cooperation projects based on multilateral partnerships between organisations active in the field of VET in EU Member States and third countries associated to the Programme, and third countries not associated to the Programme. They aim to support the relevance, accessibility, and responsiveness of VET institutions and systems in third countries not associated to the Programme as a driver of sustainable socio-economic development.

Through joint initiatives that foster cooperation across different regions of the world, this action intends to increase the capacity of VET providers - especially in the fields of management, governance, inclusion, quality assurance, and innovation - so that they are better equipped to engage with private sector/enterprises/business associations to explore employment opportunities and jointly develop responsive VET interventions. International partnerships should contribute to improving the quality of VET in the third countries not associated to the Programme, notably by reinforcing the capacities of VET staff and teachers as well as by strengthening the link between VET providers and the labour market.

It is envisaged that the capacity building projects VET contribute to the broader policy objectives that are being pursued between the European Commission and the third countries not associated to the Programme or region concerned, including Global Gateway investment packages and the development of Talent partnerships and the Talent pool as laid down in the Commission Communication on attracting skills and talent to the EU of April 2022.

What are the objectives of the action?

Specifically, the action will:

▪Build capacity of VET providers to strengthen cooperation between private and public stakeholders in the field of vocational education and training for demand-oriented and opportunity-driven VET interventions;

▪Improve the quality and responsiveness of VET to socio-economic opportunities and social developments to enhance the labour market relevance of skills provision;

▪ Align VET provision to local, regional and national development strategies.

What are the thematic areas?

Features that characterise capacity building in VET include some thematic areas presented below. Proposals should focus on one or more of the following themes:

▪ Work-based learning (for young people and/or adults);

▪ Quality assurance mechanisms;

▪ VET teachers/trainers professional development;

▪ Key competences, including entrepreneurship and citizenship competence;

▪ Public Private Dialogue and Partnerships in VET;

▪ Innovation in VET;

▪ Green and digital skills for the twin transition;

▪Skills matching with current and future job opportunities, including in promising value chains under development;

▪ Development of curricula and training modules.

In addition, the applicants can cover thematic areas that are not presented above. 

What are the activities ?

The activities proposed must be directly linked to the objectives and thematic areas of the action, i.e. they must correspond to one or more of the thematic areas listed above and they must be detailed in a project description covering the entire implementation period.

In the context of this international worldwide action, project activities must focus on building and strengthening the capacities of organisations active in the field of VET principally in the third countries not associated to the Programme covered by the action.

Funded projects will be able to integrate a wide range of cooperation, exchange, communication and other activities including, for example:

▪Creating and developing networks and exchanges of good practice between VET providers in third countries not associated to the Programme and in EU Member State or third country associated to the Programme;

▪Creating tools, programmes and other materials to build the capacity of institutions from third countries not associated to the Programme (practical training schemes training programmes and tools for assessing and validating learning outcomes in VET, individual action plans for participating institutions; professional guidance and counselling and coaching methods…);

▪ Creating mechanisms to involve the private sector both in the design and delivery of curricula and to provide VET learners with high quality work-based experience;

▪Developing and transferring pedagogical approaches, teaching and training materials and methods, including work based learning, virtual mobility, open educational resources and better exploitation of the ICT potential;

▪Developing and implementing international (virtual) exchange activities for staff primarily (including teachers and non-teaching staff such as school leaders, managers, counsellors, advisors, etc.).

In case learner and staff mobility activities are proposed, these should contribute directly to the objectives of the project and be strongly embedded in the project logic as a whole.
The proposed activities should bring an added value and will have a direct impact on the achievement of the project results.

What are the regional priorities?

The budget available is divided between different regions of the world (i.e. Western Balkans, Neighbourhood East, SouthMediterranean countries, Sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America and Caribbean) and the size of each budgetary envelope is different. Proposals will be ranked per Region according to the specific budgetary envelope.

In 2025 the submission session is available for: ERASMUS-EDU-2025-CB-VET-LA, ERASMUS-EDU-2025-CB-VET-CA, ERASMUS-EDU-2025-CB-VET-SSA, ERASMUS-EDU-2025-CB-VET-NE, ERASMUS-EDU-2025-CB-VET-WB, ERASMUS-EDU-2025-CB-VET-SM.

What are the eligible countries?

In order to be eligible, the applicants (beneficiaries and affiliated entities, if applicable) must:

What are the funding rules? 

This action follows a lump-sum funding model. The amount of the single lump-sum contribution will be determined for each grant based on the estimated budget of the action proposed by the applicant. The amount will be fixed by the granting authority on the basis of the estimated project budget, evaluation result, and a funding rate of 80%. The EU grant per project will vary from a minimum of EUR 100 000 EUR to a maximum of EUR 400 000 Financial support to third parties in the form of grants or prizes is not allowed. Costs for financial audits are not allowed. Volunteer costs are allowed. They shall take the form of unit costs as defined in the to the Commission Decision on unit costs for volunteers.

How is the project lump sum determined?

Applicants must fill in a detailed budget table according to the application form, taking into account the following points:

▪The budget should be detailed as necessary by beneficiary/-ies and organized in coherent work packages (forexample divided into ‘project management’, ‘training’, ‘organization of events’, ‘mobility preparation andimplementation’, ‘communication and dissemination’, ‘quality assurance’, etc.);

▪The proposal must describe the activities covered by each work package;

▪Applicants must provide in their proposal a breakdown of the lump sum showing the share per work package (and, within each work package, the share assigned to each beneficiary and affiliated entity);

▪Costs described can cover staff costs, travel and subsistence costs, equipment costs and subcontracting as well as other costs (such as dissemination of information, publishing or translation).

Proposals will be evaluated according to the standard evaluation procedures with the help of internal and/or external experts. The experts will assess the quality of the proposals against the requirements defined in the call and the expected impact, quality and efficiency of the action.

Following the proposal evaluation, the authorising officer will establish the amount of the lump sum, taking into account the findings of the assessment carried out.

The grant parameters (maximum grant amount, etc.) will be fixed in the Grant Agreement. Please refer to Part C of Programme Guide, section 'Eligible direct costs'.

The project achievements will be evaluated on the outcomes completed. This funding scheme will allow putting focus on the outputs rather than the inputs, thereby placing emphasis on the quality and level of achievement of measurable objectives.

More details are described in the model Grant Agreement available in the EU Funding & Tenders Portal.

What is the proposal page limit and layout?

Page limit for the Part B Technical Description of the Application Form is 70 pages. Within this 70 pages limit, the list of relevant previous projects is included.

Layout as described in the Important Notice of the Part B Technical Description of the Application Form.

How should staff costs be encoded?

• Applicants must follow the ‘Instructions’ as stipulated in the relevant worksheet of the Detailed Budget excel table (Annex 1 to Part B of the application form), i.e. they should do a calculation based on the ‘Unit’ of person months. Please note that 0,4 person months and lower are rounded down and, in the end, not considered in the calculation. As a result, it is not possible to encode a ‘Unit’ of less than one person month. On the other hand, 0,5 person months and above will be rounded up to one month and be considered as such in the calculation.
• The ‘Units’ of person months you decide upon should relate to the actual amount that should be paid to the staff, i.e. if the person works 1,6 months for 1.000 EUR (cost per unit would be theoretically 625 EUR), you should encode 2 person months, but keep the cost of 1.000 EUR (cost per unit should be 500 EUR). You have the possibility to explain your calculation for such cases in the work sheet called “Any comments”.

Where can I find information on the budgetary envelopes for different regions mentioned in the Programme Guide?

• You can find the budgetary envelopes for different regions in the sections “Call updates” and/or “Topic updates” on the FTOP (Funding and Tender Opportunities Portal).

What is included in the maximum 70 pages limit for the Part B of an application? Is the cover page and list of previous projects considered in this limit?

• Yes, the entire proposal including the cover page and the list of previous projects is included in the 70 pages limit for the Part B of an application. The pages over the maximum limit of 70 pages (in the Part B of an application form) will be made automatically unreadable and thus they will not be taken into account during the evaluation process. The list of previous projects is included in the Part B. You will not attach to an application another list of previous projects in annex.

The Programme Guide is the basic document for preparation of an application. Could you inform us what else can help us to prepare a successful application?

• In addition to a detailed reading of the Programme Guide applicants should read carefully the instructions in the Application Form. It is also recommended to read the presentations and to watch the video (https://webcast.ec.europa.eu/info-day-capacity-building-for-vet-22-12-07%20) from the Info session delivered on 7/12/2022.

How should I calculate “travel and subsistence costs”?

• You have to comply with the section “Eligible costs - Specific conditions” of the Programme guide: For actions managed by the Executive Agency, when calculating your travel accommodation and subsistence costs, please use the unit costs for travel, accommodation and subsistence specified in Commission Decision C(2021) 35”. 

Should we identify at the very end of the Part B of an application the list of previous projects for the entire consortium? Or only for the applicant?

• Please list previous projects for the entire partnership, but only those that are relevant for the present application under the call. Only EU funded projects should be listed in this section. The amount to be inserted is the grant for the whole project.

The financial system Lump Sum Type II will be used. Where can further information be found?

• The basic information on this financial system is in the Programme Guide in the section “What are the funding rules?” under the call ERASMUS-EDU-2023-CB-VET. It is also recommended to see the power point presentation “Funding mechanism“ and to watch the videohttps://webcast.ec.europa.eu/info-day-capacity-building-for-vet-22-12-07%20   (from 16:27:55 to 16:38:16) from the Info session on 7/12/2022.  See also this note:”DECISION authorising the use of lump sums and unit costs under the Erasmus+ Programme 2021 – 2027”.

How should the 20% co-financing part of the budget be assured?

• Respect of the no-profit and co-financing principles is generally assumed in the context of lump sums, and therefore, applicants do not have to provide information about sources of funding other than the EU grant, nor do they have to justify the costs incurred by the project. 

Is it possible to involve in one application organisations from two eligible countries NOT associated to the Erasmus+ Programme from two different regions?

• Yes, it is possible. The partnership must include at least one eligible country NOT associated to the Erasmus+ Programme, it means a country from one of these regions: Western Balkans (Region 1), Neighbourhood East (Region 2), South-Mediterranean countries (Region 3), Sub-Saharan Africa (Region 9), Latin America (Region 10) and Caribbean (Region 11). The Programme Guide does not define a maximum limit regarding the number of eligible countries NOT associated to the Erasmus+ Programme and the number of regions that will be involved in an application.

Does one “unit” in the “Direct personnel cost” represents one person-day or one person-month?

• As mentioned in the instructions of the detailed budget table (line 18): 1 unit is 1 person-month.

Where can the Annotated Model Grant Agreement (AGA) be found?

• The Annotated Model Grant Agreement (AGA) can be found in "Reference documents" on the Funding & Tender Opportunities Portal (FTOP). 

Is it possible to include mobility in an application?

• The Programme Guide mentions mobility as an example of eligible activities in the following way: “Developing and implementing international (virtual) exchange activities for staff primarily (including teachers and non-teaching staff such as school leaders, managers, counsellors, advisors, etc.). In case learner and staff mobility activities are proposed, these should contribute directly to the objectives of the project and be strongly embedded in the project logic as a whole”.

How should the staff costs for personnel be calculated?

• The estimation of staff costs should be made in accordance with the staff costs policy applicable in your organisation. Please indicate the staff costs in gross amounts. Please encode your costs using the Detailed budget table. In each ‘BEx’ sheet (BE=beneficiary), for section “ DIRECT PERSONNEL COSTS”, you have to encode the following unit: 1 unit is 1 person-month. Staff categories (Type 1-4) can be defined according to the categories most relevant for the partner organisations. The type “Other” exists also. As explained in the instruction 16 of the Detailed budget table, you have to estimate the eligible costs of your proposal using the same methodology used to declare costs under an actual cost-based grant agreement. For additional information, please refer to article 6.2 of the Annotated Model Grant Agreement, specifying Specific eligibility conditions for each budget category, point on Personnel Costs.  

The section “Regional priorities” mentions lower and upper middle income countries and least developed countries. Where can I find the list of these countries?

• The section “Eligible countries” in the Part A of the Programme guide defines these countries. Please refer to the sub-section “Third countries not associated to the Programme”. There you will find a link which directs you to the list.

Does an official division among national, regional and cross-regional applications exist and if yes, where in an application we should tick/select if our application is national, regional or cross-regional?

• There is no such official typology and there is no such section to be ticked. Information on a focus of your application could be inserted e.g. under the section “Relevance” of the part B of the Application Form. In this relation, it is useful to underline the Regional priorities for “Latin America” and “Caribbean” regions: “Priority will be given to regional projects (projects involving more than one eligible third country not associated to the Programme) or projects in lower and upper middle income countries”.

Some sections of Application Form – Part B request to address all guiding points presented in the Programme Guide. Should the guiding points be covered in one box or could be divided between relevant questions?

• Where requested in the Application Form – Part B, you have to address all guiding points presented in the Call document/Programme Guide under each award criterion. It is up to you to organise the answers, in one box or spread throughout several sections in Part B. Please make sure that all guiding points for each award criterion have a clear and comprehensive answer/explanation. 

To which email address can we send our questions?

• Our team is at your disposal to answer questions at the following e-mail address (Helpdesk): EACEA-EPLUS-CBVET@ec.europa.eu.

One of the new eligibility criteria is to include "at least one VET provider at non-tertiary education level”. From which country or region of countries can this VET provider come from?

• The Programme Guidestates: “The consortium must include at least one VET provider at non-tertiary education level”. The Programme Guide does not specify from which country or region of countries such organisation must come from. Therefore, “VET provider at non-tertiary education level” can be from any country eligible under the call ERASMUS-EDU-2025-CB-VET (check PART A Eligible Countries in the programme guide).

What is the scope of capacity building in the field of Higher Education (HED)?

The Capacity Building in Higher Education (CBHE) action supports international cooperation projects based on multilateral partnerships between organisations active in the field of higher education. The activities and outcomes of CBHE projects must be geared to benefit the eligible third countries not associated to the Programme, their higher education institutions and systems. In line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Paris Agreement, this action supports the relevance, quality, modernisation and responsiveness of higher education in third countries not associated to the Programme in addressing socio-economic recovery, growth and prosperity and reacting to recent trends, in particular economic globalisation but also the recent decline in human development, fragility, and rising social, economic and environmental inequalities. Projects in capacity building in higher education are envisioned to contribute to the broader policy objectives that are being pursued between the European Commission and the third countries not associated to the Programme or region concerned, including the Global Gateway investment packages.

What are the objectives of the action?

In third countries not associated to the Programme the action will specifically:

▪ Enhance the relevance of higher education for the successful implementation of the EU’s Global Gateway strategy and the investment priorities set within;

▪ Improve the quality of HE and enhance its relevance for the labour market and society;

▪Improve the level of competences, skills and employability potential of students in HEIs by developing new, relevant and innovative education programmes;

▪Promote inclusive education, equality, equity, non-discrimination and the promotion of civic competences in HE;

▪Enhance the teaching, assessment mechanisms for HEI staff and students, quality assurance, management, governance, inclusion, innovation, knowledge base, digital and entrepreneurial capacities, as well as the internationalisation of HEIs;

▪ Increase the capacities of HEIs, bodies in charge of HE and competent authorities to modernise their higher education systems, particularly in terms of governance and financing, by supporting the definition, implementation and monitoring of reform processes;

▪ Improve the training of teachers and continuous professional development in order to impact the longer term quality of the education system;

▪ Stimulate cooperation of institutions, capacity building and exchange of good practice;

▪ Foster cooperation across different regions of the world through joint initiatives.

Are there limits in terms of grant percentage that can be spent on subcontracting?

There are limits in terms of grant percentage that can be spent on subcontracting. In particular, subcontracting should represent a maximum of 10% of the awarded EU grant.

Moreover, it should be noted that for subcontracting the following rules apply:

- Subcontracting is not possible for coordinating tasks (not even to full partners of the consortium)

- Subcontracting should not cover core activities on which the achievement of the objectives of the action directly depends on

- Subcontracting should be exceptional; if not, the operational capacity of the consortium could be put under discussion

- The action must be implemented [including the subcontracted part(s)] in compliance with the provisions of the Programme Guide and the Model Grant Agreement - Lump sum grants

- Subcontractors cannot be in the lists of the EU Sanctions (restrictive measures)

- Subcontracting costs should be clearly indicated per beneficiary and per work package in the lump-sum grant excel table

Are there limits in terms of grant percentage that can be spent on equipment?

Yes, for equipment the following rules apply:

- Costs for equipment should represent a maximum of 35% of the awarded EU grant

- The EU grant will cover 100% of the eligible purchase costs (not only the depreciation)

Moreover, it should be noted that for equipment purchase the following rules apply as well:

- Only the purchase of equipment, which is directly relevant to the objectives of the Strand and

- Made not later than 12 months before the end of the project can be considered as eligible expenditure;

- Equipment is intended exclusively for the HEIs of the third countries not associated to the programme included in the partnership, where it must be recorded in the official inventory of the HEIs for which it is purchased.

- Equipment costs should be included in the budget tables for each beneficiary concerned (for example BE 001, BE 003, BE 006, etc.) and specified in the excel worksheet ‘Depreciation Costs’.

What is the maximum grant amount and co-financing rate?

The EU contribution will represent a maximum of 90% of the total costs (for all three Strands), with a maximum grant per proposal of 400.000 EUR for Strand 1.800.000 EUR for Strand 2 and 1.000.000 EUR for Strand 3.

Please pay attention to correctly enter in the first worksheet ‘Instructions’ of the Detailed Budget Table (ERASMUS LSII) both the ‘Maximum grant amount as stipulated in the call’ in the field E34, and the ‘Maximum co-financing rate' as stipulated in the call in the field E35 (always 90%).

Which documents need to be attached to the application?

The documents that need to be attached to the application are available in the 'Download Part B templates' space once the applicants click on 'Start submission':

The templates to be filled in are:

- Administrative Forms (PART A) - filled out directly in the Portal Submission System screens

- Technical Description (PART B)

- Detailed Budget Table (ERASMUS LSII)

- Applicants are also requested to fill in PART C (KPIs) which is embedded in the Portal Submission System screens.

Documents that do not need to be attached to the application form:

- CVs are not requested. The template of PART B states “if required” which is not the case for CBHE

- Annual activity reports are not applicable for this call

- No Mandates signed by the partners and Declarations other than those included in PART A & PART B (Section 6 – Double funding) are required at application stage.

A 'Declaration on honour' will be required for each beneficiary of selected proposals only, and their signature will be dealt with during the grant agreement preparation phase (e-signature in the Portal).

In case my lump sum grant is audited, do I need to provide complete accounts of individual salary statements?

Under the lump sum grant agreement, there is no obligation to keep records on the actual costs incurred.

However, you may have to comply with other record keeping requirements outside the lump sum grant agreement (e.g., under national law of your internal procedures). It is possible that some of these records, if relevant for the project, are used in case of an audit to verify the reality of the work done. This includes the points mentioned in Article 25.1.3 of the MGA (i.e., complete accounts, individual salary statements or other personal data). Such information and data can also be requested in the specific context of certain investigations, for example, related to fraud suspicion.

In case the coordinator is an organisation of heis, does this mean that the Erasmus Charter for Higher Education (ECHE) is not required for this coordinator, since it is required for heis alone?

Organisation of HEIs is a network of different HEIs (umbrella organisation gathering recognised HEIs), active in the field of higher education. It can be eligible to coordinate a CBHE project.

However, and in compliance with the minimum CBHE consortium composition criteria, an organisation of HEIs will not be considered as a HEI, unless it holds an Erasmus Charter for Higher Education (ECHE) itself. If an organisation of HEIs is not a holder of an ECHE, the proposal needs to include in the consortium the minimum number of HEIs as appropriate.

What is co-financing? What can we include in the co-financing?

We do not establish the type of your co-financing to be included in the excel table.

In the Lump Sum type-II model - after having filled in correctly the parameters in the first worksheet ‘Instructions’, only the project’s estimated budget must be specified, by filling in the Detailed Budget Table per beneficiary (BE) and per work package (WP), based on actual costs. Within this budget table the co-financing rate will be applied automatically to the total costs as calculated by the excel table. Therefore, the amount of the EU contribution includes the co-financing.

Should applicants refer to any rate for travel, accommodation, and subsistence cost?

For actions managed by the Executive Agency, when calculating your travel, accommodation and subsistence costs, please use the unit costs for travel, accommodation and subsistence specified in Commission Decision C(2024) 5405.

As stated in said Commission Decision C(2024) 5405, all Land Travel / Flight distances should be calculated through the relevant distance calculators available on the Calculate unit costs for eligible travel costs website. When calculating the unit costs per distance band, please refer to the amounts defined in Table 3.

As to the amounts for accommodation and subsistence costs (section 5.5), not all countries are included. For the countries missing (example countries in Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa) the cost estimations for accommodation/subsistence must approximate your actual costs.

Are costs relating to volunteers allowed?

Costs relating to volunteers involved in the project are allowed. They shall take the form of unit costs as defined in the Commission Decision C (2019) 2646 authorising the use of unit costs for volunteers.

How are staff costs calculated?

You must follow the ‘Instructions’ as stipulated in the relevant worksheet of the Detailed Budget excel table (Annex 1 to Part B of the application form), i.e. do the calculation based on the ‘Unit’ of person months (1 unit => 1 person month). You can also encode decimals under 'Unit'.

How many applications can be coordinated by the same institution?

HEIs or organisations of HEIs can submit as many applications as they wish. No limits are set as regards the number of applications where an institution can be partner or coordinator.

 Which is the page limit for Part B - technical description?

The page limit is set at 40 pages.

Do we need to introduce the costs for an audit certificate in our budget?

An audit certificate will not be requested with the final report. Therefore, applicants do not need to calculate this cost in the budget.

Are there ceilings for the different types of cost in the Lump-Sums II model?

Yes, two ceilings are applicable.

- Equipment: Costs for equipment should represent a maximum of 35% of the awarded EU grant, and the EU grant will cover 100% of the eligible costs (not only the depreciation).

- Subcontracting: Costs of subcontracting should represent a maximum of 10% of the awarded EU grant.

Nonetheless, only costs necessary, reasonable and justified for the implementation of the project must be specified in the excel table, in accordance with the applicable accounting standards of the country where the beneficiary (BEN) is established and according to the usual cost accounting practices of the beneficiary. Finally, they must comply with the principle of sound financial management, in particular regarding economy and efficiency.

How many applications can be coordinated by the same institution?

HEIs, associations or organisations of HEIs can submit as many applications as they wish. No limits are set as regards the number of applications where an institution can be partner.

However, a maximum of two proposals per applicant organisation can be funded.

How should travel costs be encoded?

In the budget excel table you need to fill in the travel/subsistence costs as an average calculated by you based on real costs. Said that, you will need to differentiate the travel costs per work package and per beneficiary.

However, only costs necessary, reasonable and justified for the implementation of the project must be specified in the excel table, in accordance with the applicable accounting standards of the country where the beneficiary (BEN) is established and according to the usual cost accounting practices of the beneficiary.

Finally, travel/subsistence costs must comply with the principle of sound financial management, in particular regarding economy and efficiency.

Can I use the rates established for the previous CBHE programme to create my lump sum?

You can base your calculations on the previous CBHE rates if you find them useful, but this is not mandatory.

In the “Detailed Budget Table”, amounts under the “cost per unit” column should be based on actual costs per beneficiary (coordinating institution and full partners only, and where applicable of affiliated entities as well). You should prepare your total budget with all actual costs for each of the project’s work packages, which will then be used to establish the lump sum amount for your project.

Application form Part A requests the input of keywords. How should I select them?

Application Form Part A "Administrative Forms" (section 1 "General information") requests that applicants select fixed keywords, in addition to which free keywords may be encoded.

You should carefully choose the keywords that best describe your proposal.

Please note that:

▪ You may select up to six fixed keywords from the drop-down menu of Application Form Part A;

▪The 'fixed keywords' should relate to the topics/thematic focus/activities covered by your proposal (in order of importance); we strongly advise you to select a mimum of one (1) and a maximum of six (6) fixed keywords;

▪ The free keywords section should be used to add keywords that best describe your proposal and that could not be found in the 'fixed keywords';

▪ All keywords (fixed and free) must be prioritised. You must choose them by order of importance, the first being the most important/relevant to your proposal.

How should staff costs be encoded?

Applicants must follow the ‘Instructions’ as stipulated in the relevant worksheet of the Detailed Budget excel table (Annex 1 to Part B of the application form), i.e. they should do a calculation based on the ‘Unit’ of person months. Please note that 0,4 person months and lower are rounded down and, in the end, not considered in the calculation. As a result, it is not possible to encode a ‘Unit’ of less than one person month. On the other hand, 0,5 person months and above will be rounded up to one month and be considered as such in the calculation.

The ‘Units’ of person months you decide upon should relate to the actual amount that should be paid to the staff, i.e. if the person works 1,6 months for 1.000 EUR (cost per unit would be theoretically 625 EUR), you should encode 2 person months, but keep the cost of 1.000 EUR (cost per unit should be 500 EUR). You have the possibility to explain your calculation for such cases in the work sheet called “Any comments”.
