                        Androulla Vassiliou
                        Commissioner for Education, Culture, Multilingualism 
and Youth 
                        "I am very pleased that the European Parliament agreed 
to significantly increase the budgets for all the programmes under my 
responsibility: Erasmus + (extra 40%), Creative Europe (+9%), the European 
Institute for Innovation and Technology (x7) and the Marie Skłodowska Curie 
Actions (+30%). This means many more opportunities for students, apprentices, 
researchers, teachers, artists, film-makers and volunteers, as well as others, 
to gain international experience and skills which will boost their career 
prospects and growth in Europe."   
                         
                        
                    
           
     
                  Green light for Erasmus+: More than 4 million to get EU 
grants for skills and employability #ErasmusPlus  
                        Erasmus+, the new EU programme for education, training, 
youth and sport, due to begin in January, was approved on 19 November by the 
European Parliament. Aimed at boosting skills, employability and supporting the 
modernisation of education, training and youth systems, the seven-year 
programme will have a budget of €14.7 billion - 40% higher than current levels. 
More than 4 million people will receive support to study, train, work or 
volunteer abroad, including 2 million higher education students, 650 000 
vocational training students and apprentices, as well as more than 500 000 
going on youth exchanges or volunteering abroad. Students planning a full 
Master's degree abroad, for which national grants or loans are seldom 
available, will benefit from a new loan guarantee scheme run by the European 
Investment Fund. Erasmus+ will also provide funding for education and training 
staff, youth workers and for partnerships between universities, colleges, 
schools, enterprises, and not-for-profit organisations.

                  Commission welcomes approval of Creative Europe Programme by 
European Parliament #CreativeEurope  
                        European culture, cinema, television, music, 
literature, performing arts, heritage and related areas will benefit from 
increased support under the European Commission's new Creative Europe 
programme, which was approved on 19 November by the European Parliament. With a 
budget of €1.46 billion over the next seven years – 9% more than current levels 
– the programme will provide a boost for the cultural and creative sectors, 
which are a major source of jobs and growth. Creative Europe will provide 
funding for at least 250 000 artists and cultural professionals, 2 000 cinemas, 
800 films and 4 500 book translations. It will also launch a new financial 
guarantee facility enabling small cultural and creative businesses to access up 
to €750 million in bank loans.

                  Horizon 2020 "massive boost for European research and 
entrepreneurs", says Vassiliou 
                        The Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA), funding 
research fellowships, and the European Institute of Innovation and Technology 
(EIT) will get significantly more money under the new EU Horizon 2020 budget 
for research and innovation, adopted on 21 November by the European Parliament. 
The MSCA and EIT come under the responsibility of Androulla Vassiliou, European 
Commissioner for Education, Culture, Multilingualism and Youth, who described 
the vote as "a massive boost for European research and the entrepreneurs of 
tomorrow".
