'Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs' is a European mobility scheme initiated by the European Union in 2009, which gives new or aspiring entrepreneurs an opportunity to get a first-hand, practical coaching from experienced entrepreneurs running small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) in one of the 28 EU Members States or in other participating countries such as Liechtenstein(participating country until January 2016), Norway (participating country until January 2016), Macedonia, Iceland, Montenegro, Turkey, Albania, Serbia (participating country until January 2016, unless Serbia signs an agreement with the European Union under COSME) and Israel(participating country until January 2016). This coaching represents a unique response to the lack of knowledge and training on entrepreneurship in Europe, and helps new and host entrepreneurs develop relevant skills for managing and expanding their own business. The duration of the stay abroad can vary from one to six months. The European Union provides a grant to new entrepreneurs for their stay abroad. Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs is financed by the European Commission and operates with the help of more than 170 intermediary organisations competent in business support, coordinated by a Support Office. As of March 2015, more than 3000 exchanges have taken place or are currently ongoing, involving more than 6000 entrepreneurs. 94% of the relationships were successful. == Aims of the programme == Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs aims at fostering the entrepreneurial spirit and cross-border trade in Europe by facilitating exchange of knowledge, experience and networking between entrepreneurs intending to start a business or having just started one, and experienced entrepreneurs by working alongside each other.() The programme also aims at guiding businesses on how to overcome market and business obstacles, so that they can make the most of the European Single Market.
