Planet Erasmus

Who runs Planet Erasmus and why

Planet Erasmus is an independent project. I run it, Domenico Di Siena, from Valencia, and I answer for every opportunity and every figure we publish.

Who I am

I am an architect and civic designer. I help institutions, universities and communities design processes and tools to tackle complex problems together. I am the author of the Civic Design method and book, and I work at Democratic Society, a European organisation working for a more open and participatory democracy.

Planet Erasmus started in 2003 as a network of Erasmus students. In 2026 I relaunched it alongside Erasmus Kit, the free tool that calculates the grant, checks housing listings and gathers each university’s deadlines.

Why I do it

Right now there are 1,343 open places in European programmes to study, volunteer, train or set up a project with partners from other countries. They are spread across dozens of portals, each with its own jargon: KA1, KA2, training courses, partner searches.

If you study at a university with a good international office, or work at an association that has already run a few European projects, you find your way. If not, you often never learn the place existed. Erasmus+ is paid for with public money. The information needed to use it should be just as public, in practice and not only on paper: easy to find, to read and to check.

I come from civic design. A less visible part of that work is putting information in order, making it readable and checking that it is true, so that more people can act on it. Planet Erasmus applies that to European mobility. Rather than a media outlet, it aims to be infrastructure: a board updated every day, in four languages, for people who want to go and for those who organise.

That is why the rules are strict. Every opportunity links to its official source and disappears the day it closes. We take no commissions, use no cookies or trackers, and nobody who rents out flats or lends money can advertise. Someone leaving home for the first time has to be able to trust it.

Planet Erasmus began as a network of students passing information to each other. I want it to be that again, with more sources and today’s tools.

What sponsorship does not change

  • It is always labelled “Sponsored” and kept apart from the opportunities and the articles.
  • Paying does not change the order of the board, the figures or what we publish.
  • No cookies or tracking: you choose the page or the line, never the person. You receive total views and clicks.
  • We do not accept housing, loans or buy-now-pay-later, grant brokers, gambling, alcohol, tobacco or crypto.
  • The list of sponsors is public.

We do not publish rates yet. The site is new and we prefer to set prices with real audience figures, measured with our own cookie-free counter. Early sponsors get launch terms.
