Erasmus+ KA131 Project – Program Overview

Erasmus+ KA131 is a sub-action implemented under the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union for the 2021–2027 period. It supports the mobility of higher education students and staff among programme countries. The KA131 project aims to facilitate student mobility for studies and traineeships, as well as academic and administrative staff mobility, through grants awarded to higher education institutions.

KA131 projects are established annually through calls launched by the European Commission and, in Turkey, by the Turkish National Agency. Higher education institutions apply at the institutional level, and eligible institutions are allocated a specific budget. Mobilities are carried out within the scope of this allocated budget.

KA131 also promotes key priorities such as digitalisation, inclusion, environmental sustainability, and active citizenship. In line with these priorities, universities commit to enhancing the quality and inclusiveness of mobility activities.
