Details

If the UK leaves the EU without a deal:

• we’re underwriting Erasmus+ and European Solidarity Corps (ESC) funding for all successful bids submitted while we are still in the EU. This arrangement is dependent on reaching agreement with the EU that UK organisations can continue to be eligible to participate in Erasmus+ projects or ESC projects
• funding for successful bids will continue for the lifetime of those particular projects
• you will still be able to bid for new funding until 2020 if we reach an agreement with the EU that UK organisations can participate in Erasmus+ or ESC projects post-exit after the UK has left the EU
