Turing Scheme

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what transitional arrangements she plans to put in place for education providers with multi-year international partnerships funded through the Turing Scheme that extend beyond the 2026/27 academic year.

Answer

Education providers will, in most cases, be able to continue longstanding international partnerships under Erasmus+, as well as develop new collaborations across a wide network of participating countries. In some sectors, providers will also be able to maintain links beyond Europe, as Erasmus+ allows grant holders to allocate up to 20% of their project funding to support international mobilities to non-associated countries.

The Turing Scheme has always operated on a single-year funding cycle, with no guarantee of multi-year funding for partnerships. Providers are therefore already accustomed to planning their international activity on a year-by-year basis and adapting to changes in circumstance.
