My Department does not hold records relating to applications under the Erasmus+ programme. These are managed by Leargas who act as the legal entity for administering the Erasmus and ESC programmes. My Department has notified Leargas of the Deputy's request and asked them to respond directly to the Deputy in due course.Given Horizon Europe’s research and innovation focus, organisations of this type are not observably represented within the programme. Organisations primarily engaged in service delivery, implementation, or operational activities, without a strong R&I component, are therefore neither specified nor categorised in Horizon Europe data.
