Erasmus+ Programme

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, whether UK (a) schools, (b) colleges, (c) universities and (d) teacher training institutions participating in the Erasmus+ programme will be required to follow the publicity requirements set out by the European Commission, Erasmus+ Programme: Model Grant Agreement, November 2024, section 17.2, Visibility — European flag and funding statement.

Answer

UK schools, colleges, universities and teacher training institutions participating in Erasmus+ will be required to follow any publicity requirements set out in their grant agreements. There is no requirement to fly the EU flag. Visibility requirements primarily relate to documents such as publicity and communications material about the funded activity. For example, a brochure about an Erasmus+ opportunity may need to acknowledge EU support by including the EU emblem and stating that it has been funded or co-funded by the EU. This applies whether funding is received from the European Education and Culture Executive Agency or via the UK’s National Agency and relates only to activities funded by Erasmus+.
