The conditions for participation and the opportunities offered by the Program vary according to the countries and their geographical locations. The countries are classified into two main groups:

• Countries participating in the Program;
• Partner countries

Participating countries can take advantage of all the opportunities offered by the Erasmus+ Program, which are:
