Aurora Joins Sector-Wide Call for Adequate Erasmus+ Funding

Aurora has joined sixteen other higher education organisations in responding to the European Parliament’s draft report on the 2028-2034 Erasmus+ programme.

The joint statement welcomes the CULT Committee’s ambition, particularly its call for a €47.39 billion budget, but flags a critical concern. The proposed budget share for education and training would represent a reduction of up to ten percentage points compared to the current programme. That would limit mobility opportunities and undermine targets that member states have already committed to.

Aurora supports the sector’s call on the European Parliament to restore the education and training budget share to its current level.
