As of 2023, the number of students in short-cycle tertiary education involved in study periods or work placements under EU programmes, such as ERASMUS, was a key metric for educational mobility trends. From 2024, this figure is predicted to see a year-on-year increase, starting at 3.85 thousand in 2024 and reaching 4.41 thousand by 2028. This indicates a consistent annual growth, with the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year period expected to reflect modest but steady expansion.
Future trends to watch include increased adoption of digital learning platforms, which may influence participation levels and the need for diversified programming to accommodate new educational technologies. Additionally, geopolitical factors and changes in EU policies could significantly impact the mobility and funding of these programs.
