Summary/Abstract: This study conducts a comprehensive impact assessment of the European Union’s budget expenditure dedicated to mobility for education programs in Bulgaria from the year 2000 to 2025. Mobility for education initiatives, such as the Erasmus+ program, have been vital in fostering educational exchanges, enhancing skills, and promoting cross-cultural understanding within the European Union. Bulgaria, as a member state, has benefited from these initiatives, but the extent and nature of these benefits require rigorous evaluation. This research employs a mixed-methods approach, integrating both quantitative and qualitative data analysis techniques. It scrutinizes the financial allocations, disbursements, and utilization of EU funds for education mobility in Bulgaria over the specified period. Additionally, the study delves into the impact of mobility programs on student and academic mobility, educational quality enhancement, and broader socio-economic effects.
