Stays at universities in other European countries for continuing education purposes (for administrative or academic staff) and for teaching purposes (for academic staff) can be supported through the Erasmus+ programme. To be eligible for the Erasmus+ programme, the stay abroad must last at least 2 days and is usually up to one week.
The subsidy is divided into a one-time flat-rate travel allowance and a flat-rate per diem accommodation allowance:
The European destination countries for Erasmus stays are divided into four groups. The flat rates are as follows:
Country group 1: EUR 180 per day
Denmark, Finland, Ireland, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Norway, Sweden, United Kingdom
Country group 2: EUR 160 per day
Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Malta, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Germany
Country group 3: EUR 140 per day
Bulgaria, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Croatia, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Turkey
Travel costs are subsidised on a flat-rate basis throughout Europe based on the straight-line distance between the point of departure and destination. The distance is determined by a European Commission instrument (distance calculator).
