In the current Erasmus+ Programme 2021-27 the lump sum funding model was introduced for most project opportunities. This funding model has an impact on all phases of the project cycle. The model was introduced with the aim of reducing the administrative burden in managing such projects, reducing the risk of errors in administration, and thus also simplifying access to financing for a larger number of organizations. While this change offers opportunities, several challenges in the application for and implementation of Erasmus+ projects remain: legal aspects, different interpretations and also diverging practices.
