The European Commission has launched the 2025 Erasmus+ Programme Guide and call.

There is one Erasmus+ action that is of particular interest to Pact for Skills members: Alliances for Innovation - Lot 2 on Alliances for Sectoral Cooperation on Skills (implementing the Blueprint). 

Alliances for Innovation aim to strengthen Europe’s innovation capacity by boosting innovation through cooperation and knowledge transfer amongst higher education, vocational education and training (both initial and continuous), and the broader socio-economic environment, including research. They also aim to boost skills development by designing and creating new curricula for higher education (HE) and vocational education and training (VET), supporting the development entrepreneurial mindsets in the EU.
