    Erasmus+ Financing/Funding Rates

      Funding rates Student mobility for studies and internships abroad

      The financial support for Erasmus+ student mobility is based on the different cost of living in the target countries ("Programme Countries").

      From the 2020 project year, the following minimum levels will apply across Europe in the respective three country groups:

      GroupCountriesFunding rates for stays in the academic year 2022/2023 and 2023/2024
      Group 1

      Programme countries with high cost of living Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Ireland, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Norway, Sweden


      Partner countries from Region 14 (Faroe Islands, Switzerland, United Kingdom)

      600 EUR / month
      Group 2

      Programme countries with medium cost of living Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, France, Greece, Italy, Malta, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain

      Partner countries from Region 13 (Andorra, Monaco, San Marino, Vatican City State), this region still corresponds to Region 5 in the 2021 project.

      for participants with fewer opportunities:250 EUR / month
      for sustainable travel:50 EUR one-tim

      All figures subject to change and according to the allocation of funds by the European Commission.
       

      Note:
      There is no legal entitlement to a subsidy or to a certain amount of funding.

      Zero grant funding
      Students will be awarded the mobility grant for a shorter period of time, unless sufficient financial resources are available.
      The remaining stay is recorded as a so-called zero-grant period. A mobility can also be carried out as a complete Zero Grant period, i.e. students benefit from the advantages of the Erasmus programme, but do not receive any financial support from the programme.

      Funding rates for teaching and staff mobility

      Financial support for Erasmus+ mobility for educational or training purposes is based on the differences in the cost of living in the target countries ("program countries"). Standard daily rates apply for funding by German universities.

      Starting in the project year 2020, the following fixed daily rates will apply to Germany for four groups of countries until the 14th day of stay; from the 15th to the 60th day of stay, funding will amount to 70 % of the above-mentioned daily rates

      The financial support for Erasmus+ student residencies is based on the different costs of living in the target countries ("program countries").

      From the project year 2020 onwards, the following minimum amounts apply throughout Europe in the respective three groups of countries:

       

      Country of destinationAmount (unit cost)
      until the 14th day of the activity
      Amount (unit cost)

      Reimbursement of travel expenses

      In addition to these daily rates, travel costs depend on real distances between the point of departure and destination of the mobility, which are determined uniformly throughout Europe using a calculation tool.
