The EU's Erasmus programme is celebrating its 30 years this year. For three decades, this flagship programme has given 9 million people - in particular young people - opportunities to gain new experiences and broaden their horizons by going abroad. The current Erasmus+ programme, running from 2014 to 2020, has a budget of €14.7 billion and will provide opportunities for over 4 million people to study, train, gain work experience and volunteer abroad.
