Erasmus+ 2027: the last call of the current programme, first deadlines in February
The Erasmus+ 2027 annual work programme was adopted on 15 October 2026 with up to €6.21 billion, more than in 2026. This is the last call of the 2021–2027 programme; the next programme is expected to start on 1 January 2028. Serbia is an associated country, so Serbian organisations can apply on the same footing as those in the EU.
What is already open
- European Universities 2027 (ERASMUS-EDU-2027-EUR-UNIV): the call is open with a deadline of 4 March 2027, 17:00 Brussels time, and an online info session on 17 November. It is the last such call under the current programme.
- Horizon Europe Bridging Actions on climate resilience (HORIZON-BRIDGING-2027-04): deadline 16 February 2027. Western Balkan partners, including Serbia, can take part.
What to expect
The 2027 Programme Guide and main call are expected in mid-November. If 2027 follows the 2026 pattern, mobility (KA1) deadlines will fall in February and cooperation partnerships (KA2) in early March 2027. That leaves about three months, including the holidays, to prepare a strong application.
How to use the time before the deadlines
- define the idea, target group and expected results now, before the Guide is out;
- check your organisation's registration (OID) and who signs the application;
- secure partners from other countries before January;
- draft the budget on last year's rules and align it when the Guide is published.
