Erasmus+ Mobility with Grant Option
The daily allowance amounts to be paid to staff benefiting from the teaching mobility activity have been determined by the National Agency as follows, taking into account the living standards of the countries concerned:
Country Groups | Country | Daily Grant Amount |
Group 1 |
Denmark, Ireland, the Netherlands, Sweden, the United Kingdom
|
144 € |
Group 2 | Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Greek Cypriot Administration, Czech Republic, Finland, France, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Norway, Poland, Romania, Turkey* |
126 € |
Group 3 |
Macedonia, Germany, Latvia, Malta, Portugal, Slovak Republic, Spain
|
108 € |
Group D |
Croatia, Estonia, Lithuania, Slovenia
|
90 € |
80% of the Erasmus grant is paid before departure, and the remaining 20% after return and once the procedures have been completed, into the Euro account specified by the beneficiary in the contract signed with the staff member benefiting from the teaching mobility.
The 2018-2019 academic year mobility grant covers activities taking place between 19 September 2018 and 31 May 2019.
Staff who wish to do so may take part in teaching mobility without a grant.
The grant to which higher education institution staff benefiting from teaching mobility are entitled is calculated by their own higher education institution within the framework of the grant calculation rules determined by the Centre (National Agency).
Staff benefiting from teaching mobility receive a daily/weekly allowance together with a travel cost payment based on the travel distance, within the rules determined by the Centre. This payment is a contribution towards the travel and subsistence expenses relating to the period spent abroad. The travel cost payment is a contribution towards the cost incurred by participants in travelling from their place of residence to the activity venue and back. The travel distance is calculated using the distance calculator provided by the European Commission. It is added to the participant's grant as a one-off payment.
| Resulting “km” value | Grant amount |
| Between 100-499 km | 180 € |
| Between 500-1999 km | 275 € |
| Between 2000-2999 km | 360 € |
| Between 3000-3999 km | 530 € |
| Between 4000-7999 km | 820 € |
| 8000 km and above | 1.100 € |
The grant provided to staff benefiting from teaching mobility is a contribution only; it is not intended to cover all expenses relating to the period spent abroad.
Erasmus+ Mobility without Grant Option
Staff may exercise this right by selecting the "Without Grant" option on the online form when applying, or by notifying the Erasmus Institutional Coordination Office after the results have been announced.
Additional Grant Opportunity for Persons with Special Needs
