The
European Commission works with National Agencies to manage the
Erasmus+ Programme. The National Agencies are located in all the
Programme Countries to ensure closeness
to participants and adaptability to the diversity of
national education, training and youth systems. These National
Agencies are entrusted with the promotion
and implementation of the Programme at national level
and they act as the link between the European Commission and
participating organisations at local, regional and national level.
See the list of National Agencies on the link below:

The directors of the National Agencies are the Heads of the NAs who are responsible for strategical decisions and for leading their Agencies according to their organization’s mission and vision. Inter-agency directors’ meetings are held regularly.
NA directors proposed priority themes for the TCAs
The Directors of National Agencies - at their Informal Meeting in Malta in 2017 – discussed the transnational cooperation activities and took stock of the strategic priorities of all NAs. The most prioritised topics were clustered to four main broad themes which were named as the four priority themes for transnational cooperation activities. These priority themes - impact, internationalization of HE and VET institutions, professionalization of teachers and staff and inclusion – provide a strategical focus for the TCAs in 2018-2020. The priorities are not exclusive other topics can also be proposed.
