The EU Socrates programme has now finished its second phase (2000 - 2006) and has been replaced by the EU Lifelong Learning Programme, which consists of four main actions; Comenius; Leonardo; Grundtvig; and Erasmus, plus transversal actions. The British Council manages the Comenius and Erasmus actions. The Leonardo, Grundtvig and Transversal actions are now managed by Ecotec.
