Marche Chamber of Commerce expands Erasmus+ mobility funding

The Marche Chamber of Commerce has approved an increase of 110,000 euros for its 2026 budget to expand Erasmus+ mobility programs. This brings the total funding for projects spanning 2025 and 2026 to 914,650 euros.

Coordinated by the Chamber as the lead of the ‘CameraMarche Alliance for Learning Mobility’ consortium—which includes 16 regional educational institutes—the program will provide a total of 185 grants. These include 142 VET Learners grants for short-term vocational training, 14 Erasmus PRO grants for long-term mobility of approximately three months, and two grants specifically reserved for students with special educational needs.

Additionally, the funding covers 10 job shadowing grants for staff to observe professional practices abroad, along with 17 grants for accompanying personnel and preparatory visits. President Gino Sabatini noted that the initiative aims to build an articulated system of opportunities for youth and schools, facilitating cultural and professional openness beyond national borders.
