<p>The Government values international exchange and collaboration in education and
training.</p><p>Under the terms of the Withdrawal Agreement, the UK would continue
to take part in current EU programmes, including Erasmus+, for the duration of the
transition period. Any participation beyond this would be a matter for upcoming negotiations
on our future relationship with the EU. While the regulations for future EU programmes
are still in the process of being developed, the Political Declaration envisages the
possibility of UK participation in EU programmes like Erasmus+ and the negotiation
of general terms of participation.</p><p>In the event that the UK leaves the EU with
no agreement in place, the Government’s guarantee will cover the payment of awards
to UK applicants for all successful Erasmus+ and European Solidarity Corps bids submitted
before the end of 2020. <ins class="ministerial"><strong>Furthermore, the Commission’s
Erasmus+ contingency regulation establishes that Key Action 1 mobilities, that are
ongoing when the UK withdraws from the EU, do not have to be interrupted, even in
a ‘no deal’ scenario. </strong></ins>This means UK Erasmus+ students already abroad
will be able to complete their study placements.</p><p> </p>
