Our free ACE+ UK in-person events (further details below) will bring together schools, Multi-Academy Trusts, Local Authorities and other education organisations across the four UK nations to help them prepare practically and strategically for the UK’s return to Erasmus+ in 2027. The events are organised with the support of local partners in each nation.

The events will help participants to:

Prepare for Erasmus+ 2027, with practical guidance on developing strong projects, partnerships and ambitious consortium models.
Use Erasmus+ strategically, linking international activity to institutional priorities, staff development and school improvement, while expanding students’ horizons through meaningful European experiences.
Connect directly with European partners and specialists, enabling relationships and future projects to develop ahead of the 2027 call.
Build long-term capacity, learning from successful European models and organisations with extensive Erasmus+ experience.

Participants will include school and college leaders, Erasmus+ coordinators, MATs, Local Authorities and other organisations interested in coordinating or participating in Erasmus+ projects.

A key feature will be direct access to UK and European expertise. The British Council and European Commission are expected to join, alongside experienced Erasmus+ consortium coordinators, regional education authorities, European partners and education networks.

These events will go well beyond an Erasmus+ information day. They are designed as practical partnership-building and capacity-building events, helping organisations use Erasmus+ to support whole-institution development, address strategic priorities and create new opportunities for staff and learners.

Participation is free of charge but registration is essential. Registration Deadline = Monday 28 September at 12noon.
