Erasmus+

The implementation of Erasmus+ is organized both decentrally - through National Agencies - and centrally - through the Executive Agency of the European Commission.
In the field of higher education in Germany, the NA DAAD carries out the tasks of a National Agency for Erasmus+ on behalf of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF).
