Erasmus +, also called Erasmus for all, should be launched in January 2014. Thus, the program for student mobility is reformed, and its budget enhanced to better answer the “Europe 2020,” the new strategy for growth and employment, to curb youth unemployment (currently 23.9 percent) and give new mobility opportunities to 5 million new participants. They can go abroad to study, train or volunteer. (Ref. 130470)
