The Erasmus+ Program Guide is a key resource for organizations and institutions about the program and the opportunities it offers. The guide, published each year, provides detailed information on how to submit applications and which countries are eligible to participate in the various programs. The guide also contains information on application procedures and more.

As a non-associated third country, Georgia holds a unique position that allows Georgian institutions and individuals to be involved as a lead applicant and as a partner in various projects. This position opens many opportunities for cooperation and learning on an international scale for Georgia.

Accessing the program guide is easy: interested parties should first visit the Erasmus+ official website, where they can consult the program guide to precisely identify opportunities relevant to their sector. The guide covers a wide range of sectors, including higher education, vocational education and training, school education, adult education, youth and sport.

Finding relevant activities in the manual can be simplified by searching for key terms that are often included in the activity names themselves. For those activities that may not be directly found by suitable names, the quick overview function of the section can be used, detailing who the target object of the activity is. After that, an important step is to check the compliance criteria. This section indicates whether associated third countries, such as Georgia (Region 2), are eligible to participate, as coordinators, partners, and generally if they are eligible for this particular activity. If the opportunity is not available to non-associate countries, those countries will not be submitted to the said eligibility criteria (the program guide does not mention that countries are not eligible).

The guide also provides information on budgeting, partner selection, application deadlines and submission procedures. By familiarizing yourself with the program guide, it is possible to obtain all the necessary information for effective participation in the Erasmus+ program. The guide is a map to introduce the opportunities that the Erasmus+ program offers to Georgian stakeholders.

The Erasmus+ National Office in Georgia, in cooperation with the feasibility study of Georgia's participation in the Erasmus+ program, will offer Georgian stakeholders the translation of relevant parts of the guide into Georgian in the near future.

The answer is in the Erasmus+ Program Guide, which stands as the pivotal resource to understand the Program and all the specificities for the opportunities it offers. The Erasmus+ Program Guide gives us a comprehensive overview of the vast amount of opportunities existing in Erasmus+. Published annually, the guide meticulously outlines the calls for proposals, delineating all the details regarding all of its actions, including which countries are eligible to participate, the application procedures, and much more.

As a non-associated third country, Georgia occupies a unique position, enabling its institutions and individuals to engage both as the lead applicant and partner across various projects. This distinction opens a gateway to many opportunities for collaboration, learning, and exchange on an international scale.

Accessing the Program Guide is straightforward: one simply needs to visit the official Erasmus+ website. Once there, stakeholders can sift through the guide to pinpoint opportunities that resonate with their sector. The Guide caters to a diverse range of sectors, including higher education, vocational education and training, school education, adult education, youth, and sport.

Identifying relevant actions within the Guide is made easy by looking for key terms often included in the action names themselves. For actions that may not seem immediately applicable, a quick review of the section detailing who the action targets can provide clarity. Following this, checking the eligibility criteria is crucial. This section will specify whether non-associated third countries like Georgia (Region 2) are eligible to participate as coordinators, partners, or if they are ineligible for that particular call. If the opportunity is not available for non-associated countries, an action will normally just not refer to them in the eligibility criteria (nor mention that they are not eligible).

Furthermore, the Guide is an invaluable resource for answering additional queries regarding budget allocations, partner composition requirements, application deadlines, and submission procedures. Familiarizing oneself with the Program Guide can demystify the process and provide all the necessary information for engaging with the Erasmus+ Program effectively. In essence, the Guide is your roadmap to unlocking the full spectrum of opportunities that Erasmus+ has to offer to Georgian stakeholders.

The National Erasmus+ Office in Georgia in cooperation with the Feasibility study to assess Georgia's participation in the Erasmus+ program will offer a Georgian translation of the parts of the guide that are relevant for Georgian stakeholders in the near future.
