Financial support for Erasmus mobility for teaching or training purposes is based on the different costs of living in the destination countries ("programme countries"). Uniform daily rates apply for funding by German higher education institutions:

Group 1:
€180 per day for Denmark, Finland, Ireland, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Norway, Sweden, United Kingdom.

Group 2:
€160 per day for Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, France, Greece, Italy, Malta, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain

Group 3:
€140 per day for Bulgaria, Estonia, Croatia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Czech Republic, Turkey, Hungary, Republic of Northern Macedonia, Serbia.

These daily rates are supplemented by travel costs depending on the actual distances between the place of departure and destination of the mobility, which are determined uniformly throughout Europe using a calculation tool.

The following amounts are reimbursed, dependent on your length of stay and the distance from your home and host institutions:

10 km - 99 km with €20
100 km - 499 km with €180
500 km - 1,999 km with €275
2,000 km - 2,999 km with €360
3,000 km - 3,999 km with €530
4,000 km - 7,999 km with €820
8,000 km + with €1,500

How to participate in the programme:

• Coordinate the content, possible goals and rough time planning with your supervisor.
• Choose the programme university or company that matches your interests and establish contact. The International Office can help you with this.
• Submit the "Mobility agreement" to the International Office via your supervisor.
• After approval by the International Office, sign the "Grant agreement".
• After your stay, submit a "Confirmation of stay" from your host institution and complete an online EU survey within 30 days of the end of the mobility period.

The Erasmus staff mobility is not a 1:1 exchange programme. However, you should be prepared in principle to receive a return visit. Please note that you must have appropriate language skills in order to be able to carry out your training stay in a meaningful way. Do not forget to make arrangements for time off or similar with your supervisor.
