Participation in the Erasmus+ program in 2025 was another important step forward for Georgia. Through a variety of initiatives implemented in the educational sectors of the program, institutions, organizations and individuals from Georgia continue to cooperate internationally, improve skills and exchange knowledge this year.
This year's statistical results, such as achievements in capacity-building projects, the increasing number of Erasmus Mundus scholarships, and the active participation of Georgian organizations and institutions in youth and VET initiatives, once again confirm the growing role of Georgia in the Erasmus+ program.
Capacity Building in Higher Education (CBHE)
Capacity building projects in the field of higher education are transnational cooperation initiatives based on multilateral partnerships.
As of 2025, Georgia has participated in five projects funded under the CBHE program. Among them, in 3 as a coordinator and in 2 as a partner. Projects in which Georgia is represented as a partner belong to the Cross Regional type of projects.

Capacity Building in Vocational Education and Training (CB VET)
CB VET is an Erasmus+ programme that supports the modernisation, internationalisation and quality improvement of vocational education and training systems in partner countries. In Georgia, CB VET plays an important role in aligning the vocational education sector with EU standards and strengthening the link between education and labour market needs.
Considering that Georgia does not have the right to coordinate CB VET projects, in 2025 Georgia will participate in 4 CB VET projects.

Erasmus Mundus Joint Master's Degree (EMJM)
Erasmus Mundus is a European Union-funded master's program that allows international students, through scholarships, to earn a joint master's degree and study at leading universities in Europe and beyond.
Over the past decade, there has been an increasing trend in the number of Erasmus Mundus Joint Master (EMJM) scholarship holders from Georgia. In 2025, 29 students from Georgia were selected for the EMJM program.
A total of 2025 students from the Eastern Neighborhood countries were awarded Erasmus Mundus scholarships in 90. Among these countries, Ukraine leads with 38 scholarships, followed by Georgia with 29 scholarships.

Jean Monet's projects
Jean Monnet activities are a key part of the Erasmus+ programme. The initiative plays a major role in raising awareness of the European Union around the world and promotes teaching, learning and research in the field of EU studies, covering the history, objectives, structures, functions and policies of the organisation.
From 2014 to 2020, 81 projects were selected out of 22 Jean Monnet applications submitted from Georgia, reflecting Georgia’s growing involvement in EU research. In the current Erasmus+ program cycle (2021–2027), Georgia has already reached the 2014-2020 figure, with 43 projects selected out of 22 applications. Despite the results of previous years, no projects were selected from Georgia in 2025. At this stage, there is also no information on how many Jean Monnet applications were submitted from Georgia in 2025.

Capacity Building for Youth (CB Youth)
Erasmus+ projects in the field of youth aim to strengthen the capacities of organisations working with young people in Europe and beyond. Erasmus+ projects in the youth sector promote partnerships, knowledge exchange, empowerment of young people through innovative practices, skills development and active engagement of young people in civic affairs.
In 2025, Georgia will participate in seven CB Youth projects. Georgian organizations will participate in six projects as partners, and one project will be coordinated by a Georgian organization.
