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.
For journeys that use trains as the means of transport, we will increase the per diem allowance by an extra day. This is meant as a contribution to a climate friendly University.
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).
