Understanding Centralized Actions of the Erasmus+ Program

ZIFT Slovakia

Erasmus+ is widely recognized as the EU’s flagship program for education, training, youth, and sport. But did you know that its Centralized Actions are driving some of the most ambitious and large-scale projects across Europe and beyond?


What Are Centralized Actions in Erasmus+?

Centralized Actions refer to projects and activities managed directly by the European Education and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA) in Brussels, as opposed to Decentralized Actions that are overseen by National Agencies in participating countries.

These projects typically have a European or international scope, requiring collaboration across multiple countries. They focus on advancing the program’s core priorities:

  1. Inclusion and Diversity

  2. Digital Transformation

  3. Environmental Sustainability

  4. Participation in Democratic Life
