Erasmus+ Programme

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, pursuant to the answer of 15 June 2026, to Question 4222, on Erasmus+ programme, what information his Department holds on (a) how the reduction in the grant amount would be determined and (b) whether reductions would be retrospectively applied.

Answer

The terms of an Erasmus+ grant are set out in a Grant Agreement. An example of a Model Grant Agreement is available at: https://ec.europa.eu/info/funding-tenders/opportunities/docs/2021-2027/common/agr-contr/ls-mga_en.pdf.

The conditions and procedures for a grant reduction are set out at Article 28, which notes that a reduction can be applied at beneficiary termination, final payment or afterwards, and that the amount of the reduction will be calculated for each beneficiary concerned and proportionate to the seriousness and the duration of the errors, irregularities or fraud or breach of obligations, by applying an individual reduction rate to their accepted EU contribution.
