Development and development projects

Erasmus+ is the EU programme for education, training, youth and sport for the period 2021-2027. The European Commission is responsible for the operation of the E+ programme and the European Commission's Education and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA) is responsible for the implementation of the actions. Education, training, youth and sport are key areas that support citizens in their personal and professional development. High-quality, inclusive education and training, as well as informal and non-formal learning, provide young people and learners of all ages with the qualifications and skills they need for meaningful participation in democratic society, intercultural understanding and successful transitions in the labour market. Building on the success of the 2014-2020 programme, Erasmus+ is reinforcing its efforts to increase the number of opportunities available to even more participants and a wider range of organisations, focusing on the qualitative impact of the programme and contributing to more inclusive, connected, green and digitally literate societies. Erasmus+ enriches lives and broadens horizons. More information

Recovery and Resilience Plan

The Recovery and Resilience Plan (RRP) is a national programme of reforms and investments to mitigate the economic and social impact of the covida-19 pandemic in Slovenia and to contribute to the objectives of the European REPowerEU plan to reduce dependence on Russian fossil fuels and accelerate the green transition. The planned actions will support long-term sustainable growth and address the challenges of the green and digital transition by 2026. Slovenia will focus European resources for recovery and resilience on the green transition, digital transformation, economic support, research and development, education, health, social security and housing. The NOO is the basis for the use of the Recovery and Resilience Facility, which is the most financially significant part of the European Recovery and Resilience Package NextGenerationEU, and of the funds to achieve the objectives of the REPowerEU plan.
