EACEA 34/2015/ KEY ACTION 3 - INITIATIVES FOR POLICY INNOVATION - EUROPEAN POLICY EXPERIMENTATION

Background

European policy experimentations under Erasmus+ Key Action 3 (Support for policy reform) - Initiatives for policy innovation are transnational cooperation projects supporting the implementation of the European Union policy agendas on Education, Training and Youth, including sector-specific agendas such as the Bologna and Copenhagen processes.
Mutual learning, exchanges of experience and good practice, evidence building and cooperation between European countries are essential elements of the Framework for European cooperation in education and training (ET2020) and of the EU Youth Strategy. European policy experimentations are a highly relevant tool to support the implementation of the strategic priorities agreed at EU level in these contexts, as well as the overall policy priorities of the European Union. By combining strong institutional leadership, sound evidence and a clear European dimension, European policy experimentations pursue sustainable systemic improvement and innovation in line with policy experimentations at the European level. They therefore need to be placed in a well-defined and consistent policy perspective, under the leadership of public authorities at the highest institutional level (Ministry or equivalent, hereafter referred to as "the responsible public authorities").

Budget

The total budget available for the co-financing of projects under the present call is EUR 14.000.000. It is divided in the following way between the two fields of operation:
- Education and Training: EUR 12.000.000
- Youth: EUR 2.000.000

The financial contribution from the EU cannot exceed 75%of the total eligible costs. The maximum EU grant per project will be EUR 2.000.000.


Deadline: 14 April 2016
