On 19 March, the European Council<\/a> adopted a regulation with which the funding for ongoing mobilities between UK and EU has been secured<\/b>. This follows the vote of wednesday in the European Parliament. Although the Brexit date is approaching, Erasmus+ participants that have already left can then be sure that the projects they’re participating in will be financed through their entire lifetime. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The proposal of European Commission<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Last week MEPs voted for a set of contingency measures<\/strong> meant to safeguard the teachers, students and any other E+ participant currently abroad. Those were set out in the proposal <\/strong>that the European Commission put forward on 30 January 2019, available here<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Such proposal was issued by EU Parliament and EU Council, in order to prevent the risk that, due to the Brexit: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The current EU-27 and UK Erasmus+ participants would have to interrupt their learning mobility activities. Many students would lose their academic credits and could be obliged to repeat their academic semester or year. This would be a very disruptive impact for students themselves as well as for their sending and hosting institutions. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

What will be the fate of the Erasmus+ Programme beneficiaries now?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With the time running up, the final vote of the EU Council secured the ongoing mobilities – and the ones due to start within 30 March, the “date of withdrawal”. Students, learners and people involved in any kind of E+ funded activity will continue to get European funds<\/strong> without any other prejudice. A big relief, considering the uncertainity of the situation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This applies to beneficiaries of funding awarded before the date of withdrawal. And after that<\/strong>? Many British young people are seriously worried, and not without reason. In case of a no-deal Brexit, infact, the beneficiaries that have not started their mobility yet are still outstanding. As the Guardian <\/a>reported, they can’t be sure about whether or not they will be able to count non only on scholarships (if Erasmus+ students or learners) or other types of financial support (for volunteering), but also on health insurance<\/strong> – the truth is that, as for now, UK citizens can’t even be sure if their driving licences will still be valid in EU-27, after Brexit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

What if a a deal will not be reached?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Actually, the funding for mobilities starting within 30 March were already provided for in the general EU budget<\/strong>. The issue at stake is rather that the Brexit will happen while the seven-year-period 2014\/2020 of Erasmus+ Programme is still ongoing: the challenge, in a no-deal scenario, is to secure the mobilities until 2020<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The base of the proposal is the EU Regulation No 1288\/2013<\/a> of the European Parliament<\/strong> and of the Council<\/strong>, that governs the Erasmus+ programme for the above-mentioned period. Basically, the contigency measures adopted these last days fall under the obligations undertaken by the UK according to the general EU budget. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for the rest, a technical note<\/strong><\/a> r<\/strong>eleased by the UK government just states that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are a range of options for the UK\u2019s continued participation in Erasmus+ and ESC<\/abbr>, including programme country status, partner country status or another arrangement 2<\/a><\/sup>. Partner country access to Erasmus+ varies between different regional groups 3<\/a><\/sup>. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Some solutions to continue to take part in the Erasmus+ Programme after 2020 are currently under consideration. They can be either through an arrangement <\/strong>between the UK and the EU, so to make the UK partner country of the EU-27, or with an implementation of a series of bilateral agreements<\/strong> between the UK and the member states.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
