At the end of 2021, the European Commission (EACCEA) published a call for proposals in the field of "Capacity Development" within the framework of the Erasmus Plus program. A new feature of this call for proposals was that funding would be awarded to organizations operating in the field of vocational education and training within the framework of international cooperation projects, both in EU Member States and in third countries not currently in the EU and/or not associated with the programme. The aim of the program is to promote the relevance, accessibility and activity of non-EU VET institutions and systems, as well as to support education and training partnerships. BEM is one of the 58 projects planned for 2022. for funding applications.
