Support study for the Erasmus+ 2021-2027 interim evaluation and the Erasmus+ 2014-2020 final evaluation : Annex VII: Behavioural experiment report

This document presents the findings from an online behavioural experiment conducted with learners who have not previously taken part in the Erasmus+ programme. The primary goals of the study are to explore why some learners participate in Erasmus+ while others do not, and test behavioural interventions designed to influence learners' beliefs and their willingness to participate in the Erasmus+ programme. Using rigorous methods from behavioural and experimental economics, the experiment focused on learners identifying themselves as having "fewer opportunities" or not, in line with the Erasmus+ definition of people with fewer opportunities as in its framework of inclusion measures.
