Popis: The article focuses on the “impact” of the Erasmus+ program in Slovenia in the field of adult education. The “impacts” were studied at the institutional and systemic levels. The article is based on the assumption that the Erasmus+ program represents an example of the Europeanization of the education system (adult education), especially a (reversible) impact on educational institutions, public policies and common (European) values. We focus on the results of a survey questionnaire which encompassed 87 respondents (mostly managers of adult education institutions). The results (which represent opinions) on the effects of the Erasmus+ program on adult education in Slovenia have shown that these effects are clearly visible and are predominantly positive (e.g. in terms of professional development, organizational climate, quality, “European added value”). On the other hand, the majority of respondents were undecided on the compliance of the needs of adult education institutions with the national guidelines for adult education.
