The partnersAgentia Nationala pentru Programe Comunitare in Domeniul Educatiei si Formarii Profesionale was created as a public body subordinated to the Romanian Ministry for Education, Research and Innovation, with the aim of managing the Lifelong Learning Programme and Youth in Action at national level.
