For a UK higher education institution to participate in Erasmus it must first have an Erasmus University Charter(EUC). Institutions must apply online to the EUC via the Education, Audiovisual and Culture Executive Agency: EUC applications have to be approved by the Commission. The call for applications is made on an annual basis and the deadline this year is 29 March 2012.
The European Policy Statement (EPS) should address the institution's current international cooperation, aims and priorities and quality control. More information on preparing an EPS can be found on the Education, Audiovisual and Culture Executive Agency website
The Lifelong Learning Programme (or LLP) brings the European Commission’s various educational and training initiatives together under a single umbrella.

The Call for Proposals for the Lifelong Learning Programme(LLP) is released annually and available on the European Commission's website
