The European Commission is the executive body of the EU (similar to a government). It manages the EU’s budgets and policies, as well as proposing European standards. It is appointed by the Council and receives the approval of the European Parliament.
Erasmus+ is the EU’s program for education, training, youth and sport in Europe. With a budget of €14.7 billion, it will give over 4 million Europeans the opportunity to study, train, gain experience and volunteer abroad. Intended in principle to last until 2020, the Erasmus+ program offers opportunities not only for students.
