FAQ ABOUT ERASMUS+
Which students are eligible for mobility?
In order to be eligible, a student must carry out their mobility activity
in a Programme Country or Partner Country different from the country of the
sending organisation and the country where the student has his/her accommodation
during Erasmus+ International Credit Mobility It is not required
for the student to have the nationality of the country of the sending institution.
What is the maximum duration of the mobility for students
and staff?
Students can go on mobility for a maximum of 12 months per study cycle and the
maximum mobility period for staff is 2 months, but it is finally agreed in the
institutional agreement.
What is the minimum mobility period for students and
staff?
The minimum duration of the mobility period for students is 3 months or 1 academic
term or trimester. The minimum mobility period for staff is 5 days.
The start date of the mobility period is the first day the
student should be present at the receiving institution. This could be the start
date of the first course/first day at work, a welcome event organised by the
receiving institution, or language and intercultural courses; this may include
attending language courses organised or Erasmus+ International Credit
Mobility provided by other organisations than the receiving institution,
if the sending institution considers it as a relevant part of the mobility period
abroad. The end date of the mobility period is the last day
the student must be present at the receiving institution and not the actual
date of departure. This is, for example, the end of exams period, courses or
mandatory sitting period.
What happens in case of an early return of a student?
According to article 3.6 of the student grant agreement, every National Agency
can define the rules for recovery of the grant after early termination of the
mobility. The NA can also decide in which case students have to return because
of force majeure.
If the NA considers the student's reason to terminate the mobility to be a force
majeure, the mobility has to be marked as force majeure in MT+. Depending on
the recovery rules set by the NA, the student might have to return (part) of
the grant.
If the NA does not consider the early return to be a case of force majeure,
the mobility will not be encoded in MT+ and the grant will have to be returned.
Can a participant be sent on mobility several times
during his/her studies?
Yes, Erasmus+ enables students to study or train abroad more than once as Erasmus+
students as long as the minimum duration for each activity (e.g. 3 months for
studies) and a total maximum of 12 months per study cycle is
respected. However, higher education institutions may decide to give lower priority
to students who have already benefited from a mobility period in the same study
cycle (under the LLP-Erasmus programme, Erasmus Mundus or Erasmus+).
Can students or staff be sent on mobilities to more than one country?
Yes, students can go on mobilities for up to 12 months per study cycle, this
can be in more than one country. There are no restrictions for staff mobilities.
More details can be found on p.37 of the Programme Guide.
What criteria should be followed when selecting students?
The selection criteria for participants are defined by their sending higher
education institution, in agreement with the receiving institution. The first
criterion should be academic merit, but with equivalent academic level, preference
should be assigned to students from less advantaged socio-economic backgrounds.
Information on the mobility opportunities available and the selection procedure
should be made public. The selection of participants, as well as the procedure
for awarding them a grant, must be fair, transparent and documented and should
be made available to all parties involved in the selection process.
What is a learning or mobility agreement and when
does it need to be signed?
Before the mobility can start, the sending and receiving institutions, together
with the participant (student or staff), must agree on the activities that the
participant will undertake during the period abroad.
The Learning Agreement sets out the study programme to be followed by the student, defines the target learning outcomes and specifies the formal recognition provisions. For more detailed information, please refer to these 'Guidelines on how to use the learning agreement for studies'.
Similarly, the mobility agreement for members of staff sets
out the teaching or training programme to
be followed, and lists the rights and obligations of each party.

The distance calculator does not adequately reflect
the price of travel.
What can I do?
The travel support is a contribution by the European Commission and
follows the no-profit and co-financing principles. The top-up amounts for travel
are not meant to cover all the costs incurred by the participants, but to support
them as far as possible. In some cases, the travel costs will be overestimated
and in other cases, these will be underestimated. The use of unit costs as contribution
to travel considerably simplifies, streamlines and reduces administrative costs
for all actors. Furthermore, it ensures an appropriate contribution which can
be planned and predicted by the beneficiaries.
What is the deadline for the pre-financing payment
by the HEI to the participants?
For students: Within 30 calendar days following the signature
of the grant agreement by the student and the higher education institution from
the Programme Country, and no later than the start date of the mobility period,
or upon receipt of the confirmation of arrival.
For staff: Within 30 calendar days following the signature
of the agreement by both parties, and no later than the start date of the mobility
period.
The modalities for payment will be laid down in the grant agreement between
the higher education institution and the student/staff.
Must participants from Partner Countries also fill
out the participant report?
Yes, all participants from Partner and Programme Countries must fill out the
participant report.
What is the definition of "staff mobility for
teaching"?
Teaching assignments can come in various forms and take place as seminars, lectures
and tutorials, for example. Actual teaching in this context should require the
teacher to be physically present with the students.
Although e-mail tutoring or any other forms of distance learning as well as
preparation are highly encouraged, they do not count in the minimum number of
8 hours of teaching.
Aside from this, higher education institutions have the flexibility to judge
themselves which types of teaching should be funded by assessing the added value
of the content proposed in the mobility agreement in terms of quality and impact
on their internationalisation and modernisation strategy.
If a teacher stays at a host institution for one week
and 2 days, what will be the minimum number of teaching hours?
The minimum number of teaching hours for an incomplete week, if the mobility
lasts longer than one week, should be proportional to the duration of that week.
For instance, if a teacher stays at a receiving institution for one week + 2
days, he/she should teach for 8 hours + approximately 3 hours, so 11 hours in
total.
Will the Online Linguistic Support (OLS) tool be available
for international credit mobility with Partner Countries?
No. The OLS will not be applicable for international mobility (neither incoming
nor out-going) in the 2016 Call.
Is it possible for students to take courses which
do not count towards their degree, during their international mobility?
This is up to the higher education institutions to decide. Additional courses
cannot be obligatory and should not take precedence over the courses counting
towards the student's degree. Recognition of ECTS credits or similar is not
compulsory for those additional courses, unless otherwise agreed. However, the
courses should be registered in an annex to the Learning Agreement so that the
student, the sending and the receiving institution confirm before the
mobility that those courses will be taken but will not count towards
the degree, even if they are successfully completed by the student. When they
sign their inter-institutional agreement, the higher education
institutions decide which subject areas are open to mobilities. Ultimately,
when the individual learning agreements are signed, the three parties decide
which courses can be taken abroad and how they will be recognized.
