The Agency acts as a link between the European Commission and project promoters both at national as well as at local level, promotes and manages EU projects of an educational nature, content or objective. The EUPA engages itself in initiatives that are consonant with the educational policies and strategies being implemented in Malta.
During 2007 and 2013 the EUPA was responsible for the management of the decentralised action of former generations of EU programmes for education including the Youth in Action and the Lifelong Learning Programme. During 2014 and 2020, the EUPA was responsible for managing the Erasmus+ Programme, the EU programme for Education, Training, Youth and Sport. Education, training, youth and sport are key areas that support citizens in their personal and professional development. Programme decentralised actions are implemented at national level by a network of National Agencies. In Malta the National Agency responsible for the management of these actions is the EUPA and from 2018, EUPA also took in its hands the implementation of the European Solidarity Corps, which aims to enhance the engagement of young people and organisations in accessible and high-quality solidarity activities, primarily through volunteering. In the new programming period for 2021-2027, EUPA remains responsible for the management of the Erasmus+ Programmes and the European Solidarity Corps.
EUPA is the Maltese National Europass Centre and it coordinates all activities related to Europass in Malta. It is also responsible for the National VET Team network and the Eurodesk network.
