Erasmus+ enables further education and training measures of higher education staff in program countries to expand internationalization.
Staff from a German higher education institution with an ECHE can be sent to a higher education institution with an ECHE or to another institution based in another program country that is active in the labor market or in the fields of education, training or youth for the purpose of further training.
The stays abroad last a minimum of two days and a maximum of two months.
Information on the application procedure can be obtained from Stefanie Dallmeier during a personal interview. Please make an appointment. Applications can be submitted on an ongoing basis.
Please note: All necessary documents must be submitted no later than 6 weeks before departure!
The accommodation costs, including accommodation allowance, depend on the number of days spent at the receiving institution plus, if necessary, an additional day for arrival and departure. The unit cost per day depends on the destination country and the length of stay; from the 15th day onwards the rate is reduced.
Country groups according to funding rates in project 2023 (Ends in 2025):
The travel expenses are calculated based on distance as the crow flies determined with the European Commission Distance Calculator and are reimbursed as follows:
| Distance: | Conventional income | Eco-friendly travelling |
| 10 - 99 km | 23 EUR | |
| 100 - 499 km | 180 EUR | 210 EUR |
| 500 - 1.999 km | 275 EUR | 320 EUR |
| 2.000 - 2.999 km | 360 EUR | 410 EUR |
| 3.000 - 3.999 km | 530 EUR | 610 EUR |
| 4.000 - 7.999 km | 820 EUR | |
| 8.000 km and more: | 1.500 EUR |
The total amount is calculated from the travel costs plus the unit costs multiplied by the number of days spent abroad. For green travel (e.g., Interrail), up to four additional travel days can also be subsidized. A brief written justification is required for this. Ideally, the money is paid in advance and only confirmed with the business travel statement.
Please remember to settle your business trip within 45 days of your return from abroad; otherwise your entitlement to funding will lapse.
