Reacting to news of the UK rejoining Erasmus+, William Bain, Head of Trade Policy at the BCC, said:

“Businesses will be enthusiastic about the UK’s re-entry to the Erasmus+ programme from 2027. This will allow them to maximise its full benefits for training, apprenticeships, skills, further and higher education, and exchanges.

“It will also provide an opportunity to shape the programme from the inside as funding is allocated for the next six years.

“The BCC has been calling for the UK to rejoin Erasmus+ for some time. It is a welcome sign that the EU reset can deliver results for business and economic growth in the UK and EU. Both sides now need to double down on delivery in 2026 for key agreements on food checks, Emissions Trading Scheme linkage, youth experience and electricity market access.”

More detail on the Erasmus+ decision can be found here.
