CALENDAR

*The application system will close on 02 February 2026 at 23:59.

Mobilities must begin after the student's exams have finished in the summer term and must end before the start of the following academic year.

Students who will take part in recent graduate traineeship mobility must apply while still actively enrolled, and if selected, the final day to complete their mobility is 31 December 2026.

* Students wishing to take part without a grant must indicate their request through the system at the time of application. Requests for grant-free participation submitted after the application by students who did not declare this during the application will not be considered. 

A request for grant-free participation has no effect on receiving a grant. Priority in the assessment will be given to the distribution of grants; once the distribution has been completed, students on the reserve list who wish to take part without a grant will be assessed.

Grant Support

Travel Grant

The amount of travel support to be paid to students benefiting from the student mobility activity is determined using the "Distance Calculator" provided by the European Commission. The travel support is added to the grant amount foreseen for the relevant activity.

The distance between the two points, namely the student's place of residence and the place where the activity will be carried out, is determined in kilometres (km) using the Distance Calculator, and the travel grant is calculated on the basis of the table below.
