Contract for the delivery of the European Union's Erasmus+ Programme in the United Kingdom.
Descriptions
Erasmus+ is the European Union's new programme for education, training, youth and sport. Erasmus+ aims to strengthen opportunities for mobility and cooperation, with a focus on study, training, teaching and volunteering opportunities for higher education and vocational students, trainees, teachers, trainers, youth workers, and young people. It will provide opportunities for education and training institutions and youth and sports organisations to engage in partnerships to exchange good practice, working with businesses to promote innovation and employability.Erasmus+ brings together the existing Lifelong Learning Programme (LLP, which includes the Erasmus, Comenius, Leonardo da Vinci, and Grundtvig schemes); the Youth in Action Programme (YiA); and five international cooperation programmes (part of Erasmus Mundus , all of the Tempus, Alfa and Edulink programmes, and the programme for cooperation with industrialised countries). Erasmus+ will be an integrated programme allowing groups to apply under each action with no separate programmes for different sectors of lifelong learning, although most of the LLP brand names mentioned above will continue to be used. The reduced fragmentation and duplication should result in simpler application rules and procedures.The aims of Erasmus+ remain the same as the current programmes – to improve people's skills and ultimately their employability, and supporting the modernisation of education and training systems.The Department for Business Innovation and Skills is seeking a supplier to become the National Agency to deliver the ‘Erasmus+ programme in the UK.
