Message from the President of the Board of Directors of the Foundation for the Management of European Lifelong Learning (IDEP) 

Dear friends and colleagues,

Welcome to the website of the Foundation for the Management of European Lifelong Learning (IDEP). Since its establishment in 2007, IDEP is the National Agency of the Republic of Cyprus for the management of the Erasmus+ European Programme (Education and Training sectors). By decision of the Council of Ministers, from 2024 it has also taken over the management of the European Solidarity Corps and the Youth sector of the Erasmus+ Programme.

In a rapidly evolving and changing world, the promotion of lifelong learning is a priority for the personal and professional development of each individual. The Erasmus+ programmes and the European Solidarity Corps offer the Cypriot public opportunities to acquire the skills and knowledge that will enable them to cope not only with the challenges that arise within national borders but also beyond them. 

Always committed to quality, the Board of Directors, Management and staff of IDEP work hard to ensure that every stakeholder in Cyprus receives the support and guidance they need. At the same time, emphasis is placed on the transparent and impartial procedures that have been established at both European and national level to ensure the most rational management of the funds allocated to Cyprus.

We invite you to explore our website to discover funding opportunities through the Erasmus+ and European Solidarity Corps programmes.

We are at your disposal to inform you about what you need, but also to support you in your subsequent participation in the Programmes we manage.

Professor Petros Pashiardis
President of the Board of Directors of the Foundation for the Management of European Lifelong Learning (IDEP)
