A consortium representing 21 Erasmus National Agencies submitted an Erasmus dissemination project proposal to the European Commission in May 2005. The Hungarian National Agency Foundation carried out the coordination of the project.

The rationale of the proposal was to reflect on the European political target of involving 3 million students in the Erasmus programme by 2012 and the implications for European and national developments in higher education. The main question for the project was therefore how it is possible to reach the magic number of 3 million outgoing Erasmus students in the light of the so far gained European experience of the Erasmus programme.
In the project, nearly 500 participants including representatives of 21 countries from Higher Education Institutions (HEIs), professional bodies and associations, National Agencies, National Authorities and representatives of the European Commission discussed experience and good examples within the framework of six international seminars following nearly 80 presentations and keynote speeches.
Based on the presentations and comments of participants several recommendations for National Authorities and Higher Education Institutions have been articulated, which could serve as a source for each country and institution to work on their own policies depending on their situation and motivation.
