Frequently asked questions about the Erasmus+ program/International relations

What are the options for mobility within the Erasmus+ program?

Students can go on a study stay or work internship. Employees can use the Erasmus+ program for a teaching stay at a partner university or for training (educational event, shadowing, cooperation, language stay, etc.)—attention, NOT a conference.

For how long can I use the Erasmus+ program?

Study stays are usually on the length of semesters at the receiving university (1-2 semesters). The minimum duration for a traineeship is 2 months. PhD students can also use a short-term internship for 5-30 days.

Employees usually use a week (5 days plus travel), and the minimum length of stay is 2 days.

With the Erasmus+ program, you can go to EU countries. A bilateral agreement must be concluded between the institutions for the type of study stay (students) and teaching stay (employees). These are EU member states: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Cyprus, Lithuania, Latvia, Luxembourg, Hungary, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Greece, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden.
