In October 2025, for the first time in its history, Japan elected a female prime minister. Takaichi Sanae won the race for the leadership of the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) and was later elected by both chambers of the National Diet (Japan's parliament). She will lead a minority government, formed in a new coalition with the right-leaning Japan Innovation Party (Nippon Ishin no Kai), after Kōmeitō ended its 26-year alliance with the LDP. Takaichi, known for her hardline stance, will face numerous challenges in her new role. She must focus on rebuilding public trust in politics, especially after her party's involvement in a slush-fund scandal, and navigate a fractured political landscape to pass crucial legislation. The government must address the Japanese public's main concerns, such as inflation and declining real wages. The task is complicated by modest growth (about 1 % of GDP) and high gross government debt (about 230 % of GDP), all against the backdrop of acute demographic crisis. Takaichi aims to implement an expansionary fiscal policy and limit the Bank of Japan's autonomy on monetary policy. Japan currently finds itself in a complex geopolitical environment, surrounded by authoritarian and nuclear-armed neighbours. The United States (US) – Japan alliance remains a cornerstone of Tokyo's foreign policy, but it has faced challenges under US President Donald Trump, who is scheduled to visit Japan in late October 2025.

In this paper, we propose a multistep algorithmic method that enables us to determine the seat allocation for the European Parliament on a permanent basis applicable across various scenarios, including different numbers of Member States and their population sizes. According to the Lisbon Treaty, the allocation of seats must take into account a number of constraints regarding the minimum and maximum number of seats allocated to each Member State, the maximum size of the European Parliament, and degressive proportionality.

In line with the Erasmus+ Regulation for 2021-2027, the European Commission conducted an evaluation covering Erasmus+ actions for the period 2014-2023. It comprises both an interim evaluation of the current 2021-2027 programme and a final evaluation of the 2014-2020 programme. Across both programme generations, the evaluation found that Erasmus+ delivered significant European added value, performing well against key evaluation criteria and effectively achieving its objectives. It yielded substantial benefits for individuals, organisations and the wider education, training, youth and sport sectors, providing opportunities for personal, educational and professional growth of learners and staff, for cross-border cooperation among organisations and for policy development. Erasmus+ funded learning mobility abroad for over 6.2 million participants in 2014-2020 and around 1.6 million in 2021-2023. The share of participants with fewer opportunities increased from around 10 % in 2014-2020 to around 15 % in 2023. Furthermore, Erasmus+ provided funding to over 136 000 distinct organisations in the 2014-2020 programme and more than 77 000 from 2021 to 2023. For most programme actions, demand for funding exceeded the available resources in both programming periods. The evaluation also highlighted areas for improvement to inform and support enhancements to the programme, such as reinforcing its inclusivity and accessibility, building greater synergies with other EU programmes, and widening international cooperation.
