The study provided a complement to the European Commission mid-term evaluation of Erasmus+ adopted in January 2018.

This project examined

1) the outcomes of Erasmus+ so far, notably focussing on the implementation experiences in using Erasmus+ in 10 Member States
2) the decision-making procedures used in the programme, highlighting how delegated and implementing acts have been used to date
3) the Commission mid-term evaluation conclusions.

These aspects were all drawn together to arrive at a series of key findings and recommendations which could be considered as adjustments for the Erasmus+ programme during its next programme cycle.
