Funding is provided for travel and subsistence costs up to a maximum of five days in accordance with EU unit costs staggered by destination country.

Participants with a disability (GdB 20 or a proven disability that causes additional costs) or a chronic illness that causes additional costs and participants who are accompanied by their child/children on the mobility can apply for the compensation of the real costs resulting from the mobility. The application must be sent to the DAAD at least 2 months for begin of the mobility. For staff mobilities the maximum funding is 15,000 EUR per mobility.

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 Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden and the programme country Great Britain

Group 2:
€160 per day for Estonia, Czech Republik, Cyprus, Greece, Latvia, Malta, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain

Group 3:
€140 per day for Bulgaria, Croatia, Hungary, Lithuania, Poland, Republic of North Macedonia, Romania, Serbia, Turkey

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:

Distance/ Standard Travel / Green Travel
10 - 99 km: 28 EUR / 56 EUR
100 - 499 km: 211 EUR / 285 EUR
500 - 1999 km: 309 EUR / 417 EUR
2000 - 2999 km: 395 EUR / 535 EUR
3000 - 3999 km: 580 EUR / 785 EUR
4000 - 7999 km: 1,188 EUR / 1,188 EUR
8000 km und mehr: 1,735 EUR / 1,735 EUR

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.
