Results for the Civil Society Cooperation – Youth action now published – call for proposals EACEA/45/2019

The outbreak of Coronavirus in the EU and in the world has big implications for the Erasmus+ programme as a whole, including Erasmus Mundus. The closure of higher education institutions as well as the broader measures undertaken in many EU and non-EU countries to restrict mobility of citizens and increase social distancing hamper the regular implementation of most of the ongoing or planned Erasmus Mundus activities. 

The Agency (EACEA), along with the Commission, fully respects all the containment measures currently being taken at national level. And the Agency understands that those measures may have consequences for the participation of students, pupils, volunteers and others in Erasmus+ and European Solidarity Corps mobility.

The current situation means that certain participants are either unable to travel from their home base, or are unable to return there from their host location. This uncertainty is also prompting some parents not to allow their children to travel.

As a result of difficulties experienced by applicants due to the coronavirus outbreak, the deadlines for submission of applications to some Erasmus+ actions  have been extended. More information here.

In the context of the measures taken by national competent authorities to contain the spread of the coronavirus, EACEA has been consulted on the potential effect of such measures on EU funded projects whose implementation could be hindered, or partially / temporarily affected, by mobility restrictions.
