Erasmus+: €47bn, Hungary back in and Parliament in control

2026-06-3

The next Erasmus+ programme must be bigger, fairer and more firmly under Parliament's control, according to a draft report by Parliament’s negotiator, Bogdan Zdrojewski MEP, which was debated in the Culture and Education Committee today, Wednesday.

The report proposes increasing the Erasmus+ budget for 2028-2034 from the €40.8 billion proposed by the European Commission to €47.39 billion. The aim is to ensure that Europe's flagship mobility programme can reach more young people, particularly those with fewer opportunities, while supporting education, training, youth, volunteering and sport.

"Erasmus+ is one of Europe's greatest success stories, but success cannot be taken for granted. If we want more young people to benefit from studying, training and volunteering abroad, we need a budget that matches our ambitions," Zdrojewski said.
