The final act of the Erasmus+ programme’s 30th anniversary celebrations took place on 18 December and brought together representatives from all sectors participating in the programme, including professional training, higher education, secondary education, adult education, among others.

The ceremony was hosted by Antolín Romero Ortega, the presenter of the TVE programme “Aquí hay Trabajo”. Speeches were given by figures from the SEPIE (Spanish Service for the Internationalisation of Education) and by individuals from all sectors who described the mobility experiences, after which all attendees were invited to a cocktail reception in the theatre.

On 19 December, a seminar on the 2018 Erasmus + call was held, also in Madrid, during which the SEPIE gave a report on the call for 2017 and explained all the latest developments for the 2018 call, such as the changes to country groups according to cost of living and the increase in grants for special needs.
