What Agence Erasmus+ France Jeunesse & Sport does

Agence Erasmus+ France Jeunesse & Sport is the French National Agency designated by the European Commission to implement the Erasmus+ programme for the Youth and Sport sectors in France. Operating as a Groupement d'Intérêt Public (GIP) under the Agence du Service Civique, the agency is responsible for publishing funding calls, evaluating project submissions, awarding grants, and supporting French beneficiaries across multiple action types including youth exchanges (KA152), youth worker mobility (KA153), youth participation projects (KA154), DiscoverEU Inclusion (KA155), sport personnel mobility (KA182), and cooperation partnerships (KA210/KA220). Founded in 2014 and headquartered at 95 Avenue de France in Paris with 17 employees, the agency does not generate commercial revenue; instead, it receives operational funding from the European Commission and distributes grants to approved beneficiaries.

The agency's service surface is built around a Drupal-based public website (erasmusplus-jeunesse.fr) integrated with the European Commission's centralized application platform (webgate.ec.europa.eu), supplemented by WebForms, Google Analytics for traffic monitoring, and DocuSign for electronic contract execution. Applicants and beneficiaries are supported through a recurring webinar series, email communications, press relations, social media channels (notably Instagram @CapEuropefr for DiscoverEU), and event programming including ErasmusDays and the International Tool Fair. The agency also facilitates the EuroPeers alumni network and supports inclusion, digital transformation, ecological transition, and competences as priority thematic areas within the 2021-2027 Erasmus+ programme framework.

Direct peers

• Office Franco-Québécois pour la Jeunesse (OFQJ): French-Quebec bilateral youth office managing mobility programmes for young people and youth workers. Comparable as a public-sector programme administrator distributing mobility and cooperation funding to beneficiaries.
• British Council: The British Council historically managed Erasmus+ national agency functions for the UK, administering EU mobility and cooperation funding for British organisations. It is the closest structural analogue as another national-level entity implementing Erasmus+ programme streams.
• Eurodesk Brussels Link: European youth information network providing information on European mobility opportunities including Erasmus+. Comparable as a programme-adjacent information and outreach entity supporting the same youth mobility ecosystem in France and across Europe.
• Office Franco-Allemand pour la Jeunesse (OFAJ): French-German bilateral youth office supporting cross-border youth mobility and cooperation projects. Highly comparable as a public agency administering youth exchange and mobility funding programmes with European scope.
• SALTO Youth Resource Centres: European Commission's network of resource centres supporting Erasmus+ Youth programme quality and training. A core strategic partner of the subject agency that complements its work through training, tool fairs, and resource development for youth workers.
• Agence du Service Civique: The parent public-interest group within which Agence Erasmus+ France Jeunesse & Sport operates, jointly managing Service Civique and Erasmus+ programmes. It shares governance, premises, and back-office functions with the subject agency.
• Centre National pour le Développement du Sport (CNDS) / ANS: French national agency for sport development funding, distributing public subsidies to sports organisations in France. Comparable as a French public entity administering sport-sector funding streams, complementing Erasmus+ Sport.

Regional players

• Bundesinstitut für Sportwissenschaft (BISp): German federal institute for sport science supporting sport-sector research, mobility, and cooperation. Comparable as a public-sector national entity supporting sport programme delivery, though focused on sport science rather than youth mobility.

Emerging players

• Erasmus Student Network (ESN): Student-led organisation supporting Erasmus+ mobility participants through local chapters across Europe. While not a programme administrator, it is closely connected to the subject agency's beneficiary ecosystem and amplifies Erasmus+ visibility at grassroots level.

Broad incumbents

• European Commission DG EAC: The European Commission directorate responsible for the Erasmus+ programme overall. As the parent organisation that funds and oversees the subject agency, it sets policy, allocates budgets, and coordinates national agencies across the EU.
