What is it?
Your guide to EU opportunities
Eurodesk was founded in Edinburgh in March 1990 as a small regional helpdesk with a simple idea: gather all relevant European information in one place and present it in a youth-friendly way. The initiative was an immediate success.
Today Eurodesk is a European network with 38 national centres linked to more than 4,000 local information providers in 36 countries. The network is funded by Erasmus+ and organised as an international non-profit association (AISBL) under Belgian law, headquartered in Brussels.
Eurodesk manages the European Youth Portal and is responsible for its helpdesk — answering thousands of questions a year about travelling abroad with EU programmes.
