Governance >> NA directors (Priority themes of the TCA)

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.
