Ockham IPS and Panteia have implemented  a study for the European Parliament (CULT committee) on the future of Erasmus+. It aims to gain objective, reflective insights on the Erasmus+ programme and to arrive at recommendations which can be applied for the remainder of the current programming period and to the next period. Specifically, this study has three main objectives and correspondingly, three main strands of study. The first strand is that that the study offers a broad overview of Erasmus+ and its overall outcomes and performance, focussing especially on the implementation level. The second strand of this study is to examine the decision making procedures adopted for Erasmus+. Delegated and implementing acts are introduced, as well as their use in Erasmus+. The third strand of this research is, given the EU and national level data collected, to provide a reflection of the European Commission’s mid-term evaluation of Erasmus+. The approach taken to conduct this study consists of EU level desk research and EU level interviews with officials from the European Commission, and with non-governmental experts. This was complemented by national level research in 10 Member States.
