Facts & Figures

ERA-LEARN, in conjunction with the European Commission, seeks to continually update our information and statistics in relation to the P2P landscape, which includes joint transnational calls and funded projects. These are presented in our Annual Report each year, with additional facts and figures provided here on our website, which we hope you find both useful and of interest.

The 2023 annual report acknowledges and celebrates 20 years of Public-to-Public Partnerships, reflecting on how they have developed and grown over the last 20 years and the wider impact they have had. It also highlights the work of ERA-LEARN during 2023 and provides an updated picture of the evolving P2P landscape in relation to calls, committed budgets and transnational projects. The report celebrates the commitment of P2Ps over the last 20 years, the leverage effects of EU funding and the continuing national commitment to advancement of the ERA.
