The TCA Resource Centre
The SALTO Education and Training TCA Resource Centre was established by the European Commission in 2018 to support Erasmus+ National Agencies to improve their transnational cooperation activities (TCAs). The acronym SALTO stands for Support, Advanced Learning and Training Opportunities.
The Resource Centre is hosted by the Hungarian Erasmus + National Agency,
Tempus Public Foundation (TPF).
The TCA Resource Centre serves as an overall
supporting body to the NAs by:
- Providing online and offline platforms and tools for promoting consultations, planning, effective realization and evaluation of transnational cooperation activities;
- designing trainings for increasing the capacities of NA staff regarding TCAs;
- making the results of TCAs accessible for the public.

Partnership of the TCA RC
The Resource Centre capitalizes on the knowledge, experience and observations of NA colleagues, specifically
TCA officers and
NA directors and the
TCA Education and Training Working Group when creating the coordination platform and harmonized processes. The RC management works in close cooperation with the
European Commission. Its work is also supported by an
advisory group consisting of senior management representatives from different NAs. The work of
SALTO Youth Resource Centres is considered as a rich source of peer learning for SALTO Education and Training.
